Account Executive – Recruitment Marketing

Remote | Uncapped Earnings | Build Long-Term Client Partnerships

Are you a driven sales professional who thrives on the hunt, knows how to uncover real business needs, and isn’t afraid to pick up the phone? If you’re energized by building relationships, closing deals, and making a measurable impact—this is your opportunity to level up.

As an Account Executive, you’ll partner with small-to-midsize businesses, helping them solve one of their biggest challenges: hiring the right talent. You’ll sell strategic, data-driven digital marketing solutions that power recruitment success—and build long-term client relationships that grow over time.

This is a true hunter role with the opportunity to build, expand, and retain your own book of business.

While this is a full time remote opportunity, we are looking for someone in the Indianapolis, IN market to have an opportunity to sporadically meet with your team/manager in office (Indystar office downtown)

What You’ll Do

• Drive new business through consistent outbound activity (30+ calls per day) and proactive prospecting

• Secure 2–4 new business appointments per week through strategic outreach

• Identify decision-makers, uncover pain points, and position tailored recruitment marketing solutions

• Sell a suite of digital marketing products that can best help local companies attract and hire talent.

• Manage and grow your own book of business—closing, upselling, and re-engaging clients

• Own the client relationship beyond the sale, including monthly reporting calls and issue resolution

• Deliver compelling virtual presentations via Microsoft Teams

What Makes You Successful

• You embrace the grind of prospecting and bring energy to high-volume outreach

• You know how to navigate organizations and get to decision-makers

• You’re skilled at uncovering real business problems and positioning solutions that solve them

• You balance short-term wins with long-term account growth

• You understand that every deal matters—no opportunity is too small

• You’re confident presenting and can clearly articulate value in a virtual setting

• You’re resilient, competitive, and motivated by performance

What You Bring

• 3-5 years of B2B sales experience

• Strong cold calling and prospecting skills

• Experience or familiarity with digital marketing platforms (Google, Meta, TikTok, YouTube preferred)

• CRM experience (Salesforce or similar)

• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills

• Ability to manage multi-month, multi-product sales cycles

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $59,000

• On-Target Earnings (OTE): ~$80,000

• Top Performers: $100,000+

• Work-from-home flexibility

• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), parental leave, tuition assistance, and more

• Generous PTO, floating holidays, and paid holidays

• Ongoing training and development in digital marketing and sales strategy

Why This Role?

This isn’t a transactional sales job—it’s an opportunity to build lasting partnerships, grow a book of business, and directly impact how companies hire and scale.

You’ll have the autonomy to run your territory like a business, the support of a strong post-sales team, and the earning potential that rewards your effort and success.

Ready to Build Something Bigger?

If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to take ownership of your success—apply today and start building a career where your results truly matter.

The base salary for this role will range between $55,000 and $59,000. Base compensation is reflective of multiple factors, including market location, education level, skills, certifications, and experience. Variable compensation is not reflected in these figures and may apply based on the role.
