What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Executive, Core New Business position at Quickbase?
At Quickbase, we’re on a mission to end a universal problem: Gray Work. The ad-hoc, manual work we do looking for documents, resources, etc. when technology isn’t working for us—that’s Gray Work, and it negatively impacts productivity, employee well-being and a company’s bottom line. Quickbase’s platform for Dynamic Work Management (the first ever) empowers nearly 12,000 organizations like Consigli, Suffolk, Valvoline, Daifuku and more to take on Gray Work by bringing people, processes, and data together into one central location, so employees can stop chasing information across systems and focus on work that makes an impact.
The Quickbase application development platform uses AI to empower anyone, regardless of technical or developer expertise, to easily build and customize scalable business solutions in just a few clicks, without compromising security, or IT governance and control. By connecting everything through a single source of truth, the Quickbase helps businesses mitigate risk, reduce waste, and cut down on unexpected costs. And with automated workflows and granular permissions, the right people will have access to the right information.
Job Description
The Role
We're looking for an early to mid-career outbound hunter to join our Commercial New Business sales team. You'll focus on acquiring net-new customers through proactive prospecting, building pipeline from scratch, and closing deals that introduce Quickbase to mid-market companies (typically 100–2,000 employees).
This is a full-cycle sales role: you'll source your own leads, run discovery calls, demo the platform, handle objections, negotiate, and close. You'll collaborate closely with Sales Development Reps (SDRs), Solution Engineers, and Customer Success to deliver wins.
What You'll Do
Quickbase is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
At Quickbase, we believe in pay transparency and are committed to equitable pay practices. The range for this role is $120,000-$160,000. The range shown reflects the total expected On-Target Earnings (OTE) for this role, which includes both base salary and target commission. The commission potential is equal to the base salary. OTE applies specifically to sales positions and represents the amount an employee can expect to earn when performance goals are met. The exact compensation offered will be based on experience, skills, and alignment with internal equity. Beyond salary, employees receive access to a full benefits package including health insurance, retirement, paid time off, etc.
