About the Role

We’re looking for a proven Account Executive with hands-on social commerce experience to join a fast-growing software company helping e-commerce brands grow on TikTok Shop through creators and affiliates.

You’ll sell a software platform to e-commerce brands, working directly with founders, owners, and e-commerce leaders. This role requires both strong sales execution and a deep understanding of social commerce — candidates with only one of these skill sets will not be a fit.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the full sales cycle from prospecting and discovery through demos, closing, and onboarding.
  • Build and manage pipeline through outbound prospecting, inbound leads, events, and partnerships.
  • Sell directly to e-commerce founders, brand owners, and senior e-commerce leaders.
  • Clearly communicate the value of creator, affiliate, and TikTok Shop strategies using metrics such as GMV and affiliate commissions.
  • Manage and grow your book of business after the initial sale.
  • Consistently work toward and exceed sales quotas and revenue targets.
  • Help develop and improve the sales process as the company continues to scale.
  • Build strong relationships with e-commerce brands and identify opportunities for expansion.

Must-Have Skills

  • 3–5 years of experience as an Account Executive or in another quota-carrying sales role, ideally within a startup or fast-growing company.
  • A proven track record of closing deals and exceeding sales quotas, with specific performance numbers you can share.
  • Hands-on social commerce experience, such as:
  • a. Selling to or working with TikTok Shop sellers or brands.
  • b. Managing creator, affiliate, or influencer commerce programs.
  • c. Working with live shopping or social selling platforms.
  • d. Experience in markets where social commerce is well established, such as the US, UK, or Southeast Asia.
  • Strong experience in e-commerce, digital, or software sales.
  • Excellent spoken and written English.
  • Confidence leading sales calls and presentations with US-based founders and e-commerce leaders.
  • Experience using a CRM to manage pipeline, activities, and sales opportunities.

Nice-to-Have

  • An established network of e-commerce, TikTok Shop, or Amazon brands.
  • Experience using AI tools to support prospecting, outreach, and email sequences.
  • Previous SDR or BDR experience.

Tools & Tech Stack

  • CRM
