NerdWallet Small Business is seeking an Account Executive to drive sales and support small business owners in finding tailored financial solutions. This hybrid role is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, with flexibility to work remotely up to 20% of the month after completing training (typically months 4-6).
You will own the full sales cycle—from initial outreach through deal closure—working with small business owners and lender partners in NerdWallet's network. Your responsibilities include managing a sales pipeline, qualifying prospects, presenting loan options, and consistently hitting monthly sales targets. You'll become an expert on NerdWallet's product suite and serve as a liaison between lenders and business owners, helping them identify the best funding opportunities.
The role emphasizes in-person collaboration during the training and ramp period, leveraging the spontaneous learning and team dynamics of a sales floor environment. However, once you meet performance standards, remote flexibility is available.
Required experience: 3 months to 2 years of sales experience with proven pipeline management and KPI tracking. You should be comfortable with phone-based inside sales, able to multitask and prioritize independently, and resilient in conversations with diverse business owners. Strong communication skills, ability to think on your feet, and coachability are essential.
Compensation is transparent: Account Executive base is $21.64/hour with monthly bonuses and potential total earnings of $63,000/year (base + bonus) with strong performance. Senior Account Executive track offers $24.04/hour with potential $70,000/year total. Uncapped commission, sales milestone bonuses (starting at $2,000), and sales contests provide additional upside.
Benefits include industry-leading medical, dental, and vision coverage; flexible PTO plus 11 holidays; new parent leave; mental health support; paid sabbatical after 5 years; FSA/HSA with company contribution; wellness, cell phone, and WiFi stipends; 401(k) with 4% match; and access to a Certified Financial Planner for financial wellness guidance.
