Job description
Account Executive - EDGE at Beacon Software.
About the role
EDGE is seeking an Account Executive to own the full commercial cycle for new business within the precast concrete software market. The hire will be responsible for building and managing a target account list, executing outbound prospecting, and converting opportunities into closed-won deals. This role requires ownership of discovery, demonstration, and negotiation to drive revenue growth for the EDGE platform. You will work directly with precast manufacturers and structural engineering firms to position the software as a critical business solution. The position operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to contribute to the expansion of EDGE's go-to-market strategy. You will report to the CEO and play a key role in scaling the commercial engine of the business.
