Commercial Sales Executive

We’re looking for a Commercial Sales Executive to help grow our customer base by finding, developing, and closing new business. If you’re a results-oriented sales professional who uses (or is eager to learn) AI tools to work smarter, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Acrolinx: 

Every day, millions of people read content checked by Acrolinx. Our AI platform helps companies publish accurate, on-brand, high-quality content. You’ll join the team building the next generation of language-aware services.

How We Work (Startup Environment): 

We operate in a dynamic, fast-changing startup environment. You’re comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and rapid iteration. You can prioritize effectively, manage your time, and adapt your approach as we learn and grow. You value progress over perfection, give and receive feedback openly, and enjoy building processes as much as running them. We provide support, clear goals, and space to experiment so you can do your best work.

What You’ll Do

• Build new customer relationships: Proactively identify and engage potential clients to create a strong pipeline of new business opportunities.
• Develop opportunities: Nurture leads, uncover needs, and present solutions that address customer challenges and deliver measurable value.
• Close new business: Own the full sales cycle from first conversation to signed deal, consistently meeting or exceeding goals.

How You Work

• Leverage AI tools: Use (or be eager to learn) AI-powered tools for lead research, prospecting, outreach, and opportunity management to boost efficiency and effectiveness.
• Market insight: Stay informed about industry trends, the competitive landscape, and evolving customer needs to clearly communicate our value.
• CRM excellence: Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of activities and customer interactions.
• Teamwork: You’re curious, empathetic, collaborative, and coachable, and you believe in winning as a team.

What You’ll Bring

• 1–2 years in a quota-carrying sales role (or comparable experience, e.g., top-performing SDR/BDR moving into AE), with a track record of meeting or exceeding targets.
• Familiarity with AI tools for list building, research, prospecting, lead scoring, personalized outreach, or sales workflow—or a strong willingness to learn.
• Solid understanding of the sales process and commitment to best practices.
• Clear, compelling communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Results focus, resilience, and a strong drive to succeed.

Bonus Points

• Experience in SaaS, API-first solutions, or related industries.

Benefits Worth Mentioning

• Ongoing training and opportunities to expand your skills as the company grows globally.
• Startup environment with flat, informal hierarchies and quick decision-making.
• A diverse, international team and an inclusive culture.
