The company is positioned at the forefront of how AI is reshaping ecommerce, with a mission to turn every brand-customer interaction into a personal, seamless relationship. You will join the Account Management team within Sales, focusing on expansion and upsells to the existing customer base. This is a high-velocity, cross-functional role where you'll drive revenue growth and help shape the team as it scales. Key Responsibilities: - Own a book of existing eCommerce accounts, driving expansion and upsell opportunities. - Manage the full sales cycle from demo to close for add-on and new product sales (typical deal size $10K–$15K ACV, closed in 3–5 calls). - Handle a high-volume inbound pipeline with selective outbound prospecting to existing accounts. - Partner with Customer Success and Product teams to identify automation and customer outcome improvement opportunities. - Use data-driven analysis to identify upsell opportunities and prioritize outreach. - Ask strategic, pain-point questions to uncover growth potential within each account. - Continuously optimize your sales process to improve deal velocity and achieve/exceed quota. You are a driven, data-minded seller who thrives in fast-paced environments. You balance volume with strategy, move quickly without sacrificing quality, and are motivated by impact and solving customer problems. You bring structure and curiosity to your work. Requirements: - 2–3 years of experience in a closing sales role (Account Executive or Account Manager) within SaaS or eCommerce tech. - Proven track record of hitting and exceeding quota in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. - Strong ability to manage high account volumes, balancing multiple deals simultaneously while staying organized and efficient. - Strategic, pain-based questioning skills that uncover new opportunities and deepen customer value. - Data-driven mindset; you use numbers to identify trends, spot upsell potential, and measure performance. - Ability to move quickly from demo to close while maintaining consultative quality. - Excellent time management and prioritization skills. - Tech-savvy and naturally curious; able to act as a solutions consultant discussing how Gorgias drives customer experience and revenue impact. - Strong communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation formats).
