What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Executive position at Cirrus Systems?
About The Role
The Account Executive owns a defined sales territory and is responsible for both hunting for net-new sign shop partners and growing an inherited book of business. This is a field-based, customer-facing role. You'll spend your time traveling throughout your assigned territory, meeting customers in person, conducting demos, and building relationships that drive new business. Cirrus sells LED digital displays and a cloud-based content platform to sign shops at wholesale pricing. Sign shops are independent businesses that fabricate, install, and service signage for end customers.
We are looking for candidates who are eager, motivated, curious by nature, and who possess a hunting mindset alongside the discipline to manage and grow existing accounts. You will leverage these qualities to meet and exceed activity targets and revenue goals within your assigned territory. You are responsible for maintaining full product knowledge and presenting yourself and Cirrus with a level of professionalism consistent with our brand in video meetings, on the phone, and in written communications.
This role operates at high velocity. We are looking for candidates who are comfortable managing a large number of accounts simultaneously, running consistent outreach cadences, and moving multiple deals forward in parallel on any given week.
When you're not traveling within your assigned territory, you'll work from our Portsmouth, NH headquarters. We believe our best work happens together, and our team thrives on in-person collaboration, real-time problem solving, and a fast-paced environment. This role is based in the office Monday through Friday when not meeting with customers.
