What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Executive - VendorLine Sales position at PlanetBids?
Description
Greetings from PlanetBids, where we soar as the interstellar pioneers of web-based eProcurement solutions in the expanse of the United States! Harnessing a constellation of cutting-edge technologies, our modular suite of stellar offerings empowers governmental, non-profit, and educational entities to navigate the procurement cosmos with unparalleled agility.
Since our inception in 2000, our celestial crew has been on a trajectory of excellence, propelling us to the forefront of the industry with a gravitational pull of unparalleled client service. Our orbiting team not only upholds the celestial standard but also radiates with boundless creativity and ingenuity, continually pushing the boundaries of innovation.
If you seek to embark on a journey of collaborative exploration, where flexibility and creativity intersect in the cosmic dance of procurement, then your quest ends here. Join us in our cosmic odyssey, where camaraderie and innovation converge in the endless expanse of opportunity!
About This Role
PlanetBids is hiring an Account Executive to own the full sales cycle for VendorLine, our solution built for the vendors, contractors, and suppliers who do business with government agencies. This is a fast-moving, self-sufficient role — you'll source your own leads, run your own outreach, and close your own deals.
VendorLine has a shorter sales cycle than our core platform, which means more at-bats, faster feedback loops, and real earning potential for someone who thrives in a high-velocity environment. If you've been in SaaS sales, especially in construction tech, field service, or a similarly contractor-focused space, you already understand the buyer we're targeting and the value we deliver.
This is an individual contributor role with real ownership. You won't be handed a warm pipeline and told to close it. You'll build your book, work your deals, and be recognized for results as we build the sales function for this product line.
What We Offer
PlanetBids is pleased to provide all full-time team members with the following benefits:
