Full Job Description
About the Role

Truework, recently acquired by Checkr, provides access to crucial employment, income information and asset information needed for mortgage loans, apartment rentals, background checks, and more. We are disrupting a $5B+ industry, dominated by legacy incumbents and outdated processes, with a better product and intense customer focus. Within Checkr, Truework operates independently, allowing rapid iteration while also being able to leverage the strengths and assets from our core business. Think of it like joining a startup within a startup!

As a Strategic Account Executive on the Truework team, you'll help scale our impact across large national and regional lenders, with a primary focus on acquiring new clients to Truework Verification services. As automated verification services become a more common practice for lenders in how they run their operation, you'll lead the charge in building and executing a more repeatable playbook to drive new customers who will grow with us for years to come. By deeply understanding their unique company challenges and goals, you will pair them with solutions that will help them reach their business objectives and innovate within their organizations.

This role is ideal for a proven sales professional who:
  • has experience selling transformational solutions to customers, where you can quickly identify and pattern map where and how the Truework solution can drive impact in a customer's operation
  • has experience identifying and building relationships with decision makers, business and technology influencers and users, closing 6- and 7-figure pursuits
  • who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment- ready to help close the gap between the legacy solutions and processes lending teams are leaning on and their plans and intentions to deliver competitive and streamlined processes for consumers

You will be an important part of an elite, professional, and rapidly growing cross-functional team that succeeds through collaboration, grit, and learning.

What you'll do
  • Deliver Sales Excellence:
    • Consistently achieve pipeline and revenue targets by applying modern sales techniques and processes to efficiently manage top of funnel engagement tactics and deal strategy and close processes
    • Think outside-the-box to cultivate awareness of the Truework vision. Plan and execute targeted campaigns for your territory working with the marketing and partner teams to scale your coverage and build pipeline
    • Partner with and guide the efforts of our internal team to support your accounts in pre-sales activities and in the deployment to execute on agreed upon account goals, strategies and tactics for growth
    • Leverage analytics, case studies, past performance, and market intelligence to create a territory plan and craft your own target account strategies.
  • Manage Account Relationships:
    • Have an understanding of the lender's operation and an ability to identify the varying use cases where verification services can drive impact
    • Exhibit deep and up-to-date knowledge of our product portfolio in order to communicate the benefits of new features and enhancements
    • Show proficiency in navigating buy team personas, with intentional activities for executive bridging and champion building
  • Exhibit Industry- & Customer-specific Business Acumen:
    • Actively understand each customer's strategic growth plans, technology footprint, and corresponding technology strategy, internal challenges, and competitive landscape.
    • Review public information (e.g., new executive appointments, earnings statements, press releases) for the company and its competitors to stay updated on key industry trends and issues impacting the prospect.
    • Be equipped to identify and discover centers of value for lenders, and conduct analysis to quantify ROI and impact of our solution on their operation
  • Be a good teammate
    • Represent both market trends and client needs to the Executive and the Product teams to ensure we are both serving current needs well and evolving our products and portfolio to identify future client needs
    • Show unparalleled grit - constantly experiment, be willing to pivot, and have resiliency regardless of the obstacles faced

What you bring
  • 5+ years of full-cycle sales experience, selling transformative technology solutions
  • Experience closing new business accounts and building pipeline using modern marketing tactics
  • Experience selling to EVPs, CXOs and end-users (in the same sales cycle) in both individual and team sales environments
  • Ability to navigate large organizations' political landscape to maintain and expand relationships at all levels
  • General knowledge in common sales practices like MEDDPICC, Command of the Message (Force Management), Challenger, Power Selling, or others
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to simplify complex topics in a friendly and approachable manner, present executive-level business cases
  • Ability to juggle and complete multiple priorities and projects (internally and externally) in a fast-paced environment
  • You are smart, self-motivated, organized, disciplined, inquisitive, detail-oriented, and process-oriented; you have an ownership mentality within all aspects of your work
  • You have a growth mindset that is always learning, growing, and actively seeking feedback
  • You have a team-first mentality-you show up for your team and expect the same in return. You enjoy planning, adjusting, executing, winning, and celebrating as a team.
  • An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes.
