The role at high level:

We're looking for a talented Territory Account Executive who enjoys tackling hard problems and wants to create meaningful impact for small businesses across Canada. You'll be a senior, field-based seller responsible for growing our partner channel across an assigned Canadian territory - owning the full partner sales cycle from sourcing and qualifying through to closing and activating accounting and bookkeeping firms, with a clear mandate to drive net-new partner agreements and accelerate sub-client growth in the first 12 months. You will report directly to our Director, Partner Growth.

This is a true field sales role. You'll be on the road in-territory at least three days per week - meeting partners face-to-face, attending regional accounting and bookkeeping events, and building the local Wagepoint brand. The remaining two days are for pipeline work, virtual meetings, partner enablement, and CRM hygiene.

Please note we are looking for this role to be based out of Ontario or the Greater Toronto Area.

Compensation: This role offers a base salary of $95,000 with $125,000 in target variable compensation, for an on-target earning of $130,000 - $220,000. Commissions are uncapped and paid monthly based on achievement against target.

What you'll be expected to own:

• Meet or exceed territory quota for net-new signed partners and the sub-clients those partners bring onto Wagepoint within their first 12 months.
• Self-generate pipeline through outbound prospecting, in-person territory work, referrals, and event-driven sourcing - maintaining a 3x pipeline coverage ratio.
• Run a disciplined field-sales motion with at least three days per week on the road in your assigned territory, including in-person partner meetings, regional events, and on-site enablement.
• Own the full partner sales cycle end-to-end: discovery, demos, negotiation, contracting, and a clean warm handoff to onboarding.
• Activate and grow newly signed partners across their first 12 months, partnering with onboarding and partner enablement to hit 30/60/90 activation milestones.
• Be the in-market expert on Wagepoint and Canadian payroll - representing the product, the partner program, and our value confidently in person, on calls, and on stage.
• Maintain forecast accuracy and CRM discipline with weekly forecast submissions, clean opportunity stages, next steps, and close dates.
• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing on territory demand generation, with Partner Account Management on long-term retention handoffs, and with Product and Onboarding to surface field feedback that improves the partner experience.

What you bring to the table:

Experience

• 3-5 years of quota-carrying sales experience, with at least 2 years selling through a partner, channel, or referral-led model.
• Demonstrated success in field or territory-based sales - you're comfortable spending 3+ days per week on the road.
• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding annual quota in SaaS, payroll, accounting tech, fintech, or HR tech.
• Full-cycle ownership experience: prospecting, discovery, demo, negotiation, close, and post-sale activation.

Tools & logistics

• Proficiency with modern CRM and sales engagement platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach, Gong).
• Valid driver's license and a reliable means of travel within your assigned Canadian territory.
• Willingness to travel for regional events, conferences, and partner visits as required.

Bonus points if:

• You've sold to or partnered directly with accounting firms, bookkeepers, or CPA practices.
• You have conversational knowledge of Canadian payroll and compliance - CRA remittances, T4/ROE workflows, and provincial variations like Ontario ESA, Quebec, and BC ESA.
• You understand the accounting and bookkeeping ecosystem - firm economics, software stacks (QBO, Xero, Sage), and how payroll fits into client advisory work.
• You've coached partners on how to position, sell, and onboard a SaaS product to their clients.
• You've spoken on panels, hosted partner sessions, or otherwise built a local brand at industry events.

What we bring to the table:

• Impact: Dig in and directly contribute to Wagepoint's growth and success.
• Culture: Work alongside a team that genuinely enjoys solving problems together, celebrates wins, supports one another through challenges, and still finds time for the occasional terrible joke.
• Growth: We believe learning is part of the job. We're committed to helping you Get Better Every Day (a representation of our Stay Curious and Kind value!) by offering professional development, new experiences, and career growth as we continue to evolve.
• Innovation: Curiosity and experimentation encouraged! Bring ideas, challenge assumptions, responsibly utilize AI, and help shape better ways of working.
• Remote: Work from wherever you do your best work. Wagepoint has always been remote-first, giving you flexibility, autonomy, and hopefully a little extra time with the people (and pets) you love.
