Mid-Market Account Executive

About Pave

At Pave, we believe the world of compensation is broken, and we’re going to fix it. Today, teams cobble together hundreds of messy spreadsheets and outdated surveys to determine how to compensate their employees. At best, they’re leveraging stale data from an industry that is quickly evolving past it. Add COVID, a new remote and distributed workforce, and you have an even blurrier picture of what “market compensation” is, how it’s evolving, and how to communicate it to employees.

That’s where we come in. Pave allows companies to benchmark compensation to leaders in their industry, analyze internal compensation data and make the right adjustments, then visually communicate compensation to their employees.  We’re building the world’s largest real-time compensation data platform on the path to help employers and employees navigate the murky world of compensation with clarity, equity, and accessibility. And you don’t have to just hear it from us — you can hear it from our customers: AllbirdsHover, Shopify, Discord and more.

Our Team
 
Account Executives (AEs) will 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 inbound prospects, understand their challenges, then convert them to customers to expand the Pave compensation network. We’re looking for AE's 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, and engineering teams to help inform the products we build and the markets we enter. As an early member of a red hot Series B startup, you’ll have early exposure to founders, Silicon Valley investors, and HR / Finance executives. 
 
Your Primary Focus  
 
You'll be a full-sales-cycle account executive helping us expand the Pave compensation network. 
 
Win more customers: Understand the needs of inbound prospects and become a master of consultative selling to bring on more marquee logos.
Strategically outbound: Strategically research, call, and email top tier tech companies to acquire more customers and expand the Pave network.
Collaborate on strategic projects: As a member of an early stage team, you’ll work directly with the CEO and founding team members on a wide array of key initiatives from compensation benchmark surveys to building out our sales motion.  
 
 
About You  
   
On day one, you’ll have exposure to founders, executives, and investors. The ability to “punch above your weight class” is key. 
 
Experience: 2+ years of quota-carrying, SaaS sales experience ideally closing 5-figure and 6-figure deals (selling to HR is a plus, but not necessary)
Grit: While we have a strong inbound pipeline, you continue to push the pace and fill your own pipeline to blow past quota. 
Coachability: You become a master of your craft and immerse yourself in the industry. 
Emotional Intelligence: You can read the room and communicate with impact. 

Our Compensation Philosophy

Pave’s compensation philosophy is to target the 75th percentile of the market for both cash and equity. 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.
