About this role
About the Role
A fast-moving Chicago-based Account Executive role on Teamtailor's SaaS sales team, focused on selling our category-leading employer branding and recruitment platform. You’ll own the full sales cycle, enjoy uncapped earning potential, and work in a hybrid setup with our North America HQ in Chicago.
What You'll Do
-
Owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close — sourcing leads via cold outreach, LinkedIn, and social selling, then running meetings, negotiating, and signing new business.
-
Consistently hitting (and beating) monthly sales targets.
-
Teaming up with Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success to keep deals moving and customers thrilled.
-
Staying sharp — leveling up on product knowledge, industry trends, and your own sales craft.
-
Bringing your energy and ideas to the team.
-
What We're Looking For
-
3+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience (HR tech/ATS experience a big plus, but not required).
-
A track record of managing pipelines with discipline — accurate forecasting and not letting deals go cold.
-
Comfortable with sales tools (Salesforce, SalesLoft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Cognism, Apollo, Slack, Notion).
-
A genuine drive to hunt for new business and close it — you like the chase as much as the win.
-
Relationship-building instincts to turn a first call into a long-term customer.
-
Nice to Have
-
HR tech/ATS experience is a big plus (already mentioned).
-
Compensation & Benefits
-
Competitive salary + uncapped commission.
-
Real career growth in a fast-scaling company, with training and support.
-
A true hybrid setup at our flagship North America HQ in Chicago Downtown — in office Tue/Wed/Thu.
-
A culture built on being different, personal, and kind with genuinely good vibes.
-
If you're a SaaS AE who wants uncapped earning potential and a fun, high-performing team, we'd love to hear from you.
