Sales Executive

Our Mission

Headquartered out of Denver, CO, we’re a small but mighty team on a mission to be the best and easiest way to learn at work.

We imagine a world where learning happens in the flow of work. Where employees maximize the minutes of their lives. Where knowledge is contextual, personalized and instantly accessible. Where learning at work is as easy and joyful as it is in our personal lives. This is the future we’re building at Spekit.

Our Product

Say goodbye to distracted zoom training sessions and lengthy LMS courses your teams will forget. Instead, Spekit takes all of your training & enablement - for applications, processes, sales playbooks, SOPs and more and embeds that training directly in your employees’ tools & workflows, right when and where they need them. Whether that’s a walkthrough to guide you through creating a quote in Salesforce or a competitor battle card to handle an objection in email, Spekit is your learning companion every step of the way. The world’s most innovative companies including Uber Freight, Outreach, Snowflake, Southwest Airlines and Udemy leverage Spekit to accelerate onboarding, drive tool adoption, increase productivity, remove the friction of change management and fuel the growth of their employees - from anywhere.

With $60M in VC funding from top venture firms including Craft Ventures, Bonfire Ventures, Renegade Partners and the Foundry Group, Spekit is the ride you’ll want to be on.

Location: Strongly preferred Denver, CO or the surrounding Denver area. Open to remote US locations only within CA, IL, MA, MD, MI, NC, NM, NV, NY, OH, PA, TX, VT, WA, or WI, for candidates with specific industry-related experience. Must be willing and able to travel to Denver at least 2-4x per year, and onsite to customers as needed.

The role: If you’re reading this, it means you’re at least considering the idea of ditching your current 9-5 and looking for a place where you can help build something BIG. Look no further, have we got a challenge for you. 

We’re looking to expand our sales team by hiring a seasoned Sales Executive to grow our customer base in the mid market space (100- 5000 employee count). But this isn’t like any other sales role. On this team, your job is to determine what the prospect thinks they need and then align it with what they really need. How? By asking the right questions, understanding the customer goals & aspirations, and customizing their experience with a genuine interest for the growth of the prospect’s business. This is a strategic selling opportunity where your discovery process, thorough understanding of the market, creative problem solving and storytelling abilities will be put to the test. 

Our small but mighty sales team currently reports into our President & COO, Seth McGuire. This is a full-cycle sales motion, meaning our sales reps are responsible for generating their own pipeline, working deals through the sales cycle, negotiating contracts and closing deals. Sales reps also partner with our customer success team on renewals and expansion opportunities.
