Job Description

Why join Pave?

At Pave, our vision is simple - Make Compensation Fair. 

How are we going to get there? By building the most intelligent compensation platform, powered by the largest real-time compensation dataset on earth.

We partner with our customers to help them build and retain world-class teams through planning, communicating and benchmarking their team’s compensation in real time.  And you don’t have to just hear it from us — you can hear it from our customers: Hover, Sweetgreen, Airtable and more.

We’re growing fast, building an incredible team and product, and having plenty of fun as we do it in our San Francisco and New York City offices. 

If stretching the rubber band, building with intellectual honesty and focusing on impact sounds exciting - we highly encourage you to reach out. We’d love to partner on our journey to change the world of compensation!

Sales Team @ Pave

Account Executives power Pave's go-to-market engine by sourcing and closing new customers. 

You’ll become a strategic advisor to HR / Finance executives in the world of compensation. You’ll run discovery calls with prospects, understand their challenges, then convert them to customers to expand the Pave compensation network. We’re looking for someone with the hunter mentality - whenever you’re not working on inbound prospects, you’ll work with your SDR to target strategic accounts and outbound prospects to fill your pipeline. 

This isn’t just a quota-carrying role. You’ll work closely with the Pave product, customer success, executive, and engineering teams to help inform the products we build and the markets we enter. You’ll have early exposure to founders, Silicon Valley investors, and HR / Finance executives.

What we’re looking for:
  • 10+ years selling platform-as-a-service and/or software-as-a-service
  • Achieving revenue targets >$1.5M per year for more than 3 years
  • Designing and executing complex deal strategies
  • Experiences selling to, and partnering with 5000+ Employee companies 
  • Working directly with c-level executives both internally and externally
  • Leading high-visibility customer events (CAB, conferences, product launches, etc.)
  • Gathering, distilling, and processing complex market (industry, competitor, customer, prospect) intelligence
  • We are not interested in lone wolves. We win and lose as a team. We expect our experienced sellers to support the development of company culture and the broader sales team.
What you’ll get out of it:
  •  You'll be the first Strategic Account Executive at Pave, working to partner with the largest companies and advising them on how to scale compensation practices across thousands of employees. As the first Strategic AE, you'll play a critical role in bringing on some of Pave's most recognized customers, shaping the direction of product, and leveling up the broader sales organization.
  • You’ll have a key role in collaborating with solutions, marketing, communications, business operations, people operations, finance, product management, and engineering. You will directly inform Pave’s upmarket product roadmap.
  • As the first member of Pave's Strategic Sales team, you’ll work directly with Pave’s executive team to drive business outcomes.

A final note — we highly encourage you to apply for this role, even if you don’t feel entirely qualified, or entirely sure. You never know!

Our Compensation Philosophy

Pave’s compensation philosophy is to target the 75th percentile of the market for both cash and equity at your job level.  This means that the “mid point” of every band at Pave is the 75th percentile of the broader market.

Pave also has a merit-based philosophy when it comes to compensation increases. We run a performance cycle twice per year to evaluate employees’ performance. Higher than average performance ratings result in compensation increases to the upper end of the individual’s compensation range for their role. The result is that high performers at Pave are paid above the 75th percentile of the market at large.

Pave is committed to pay equity. If you get an offer from Pave, it will be based on your level as determined by your interview performance.  And nothing else.  We explicitly do not negotiate salary and equity to ensure that we aren’t introducing bias that could lead to pay inequities within the team between candidates who have different negotiation tactics.
