Mid-Market Account Executive

NerdWallet Small Business is the go-to financial resource for small businesses. We're here to help entrepreneurs achieve their financial goals and grow businesses as big as their aspirations.

As a catalyst for smart financial decisions, our combination of proprietary technology and financial expertise provides business owners with tailored solutions based on their unique needs and eligibility - helping them prosper, create more jobs, and, ultimately, grow the economy.

The Mid-Market Sales Representative will manage a high volume of smaller funding opportunities with an accelerated sales cycle. Unlike our traditional sales roles, these deals are expected to close within 1-2 days, so we're looking for candidates who thrive in a fast-paced environment and can quickly assess whether a deal is viable. If you're interested in the position, here are a few things you'll get to do and the qualifications that will make you successful in this role.

WHERE YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT:

• Manage the entire sales process from handling initial outreach to closing the deal.

• Dive right into training and quickly learn the NerdWallet Small Business sales process, including our entire product suite and basic qualifying material.

• Jump on the phones and become a NerdWallet Small Business expert who can confidently speak about our products and help business owners find the best loan options for their business.

• Work alongside the lenders in our NerdWallet Small Business network to identify the best opportunities for them and serve as liaison between lender and small business owner.

• Achieve and consistently exceed your monthly sales goals.

YOUR EXPERIENCE:

• 1+ year of sales experience required.

• 6+ months of funding industry experience required.

• Experience within merchant cash advance (MCA), small business lending, business financing, commercial lending, or similar funding environments.

• Proven ability to effectively manage a pipeline with consistent performance against various KPIs/sales metrics.

• Possess outstanding communication skills.

• Have the ability to multitask, prioritize, and autonomously manage your time.

• Comfortable and resilient in conversations with business owners from all walks of life.

• Excited by and thrive in a fast-paced inside sales environment.

• Think on your feet when faced with new challenges, tough conversations, or difficult questions.

• Always raise your personal bar. You can take feedback like a champ and implement it immediately.

WHERE:

• This role will be based in New York, NY.

• We have found that working in-person, alongside peers and more senior members of the team, confers great advantages owing to the spontaneous learning and collaboration opportunities that arise daily on a sales floor and that cannot be easily replicated in a remote environment.

• We also understand the importance of flexibility to work remotely, both for personal and professional reasons. While this is an in-office role, as long as you are meeting our minimum performance standards, you'll have the option to work remotely 20% of the month from anywhere in the continental US starting after you complete training, typically between months 4-6.
