<h1>Early Account Executive</h1>at CNaughtSan Francisco Bay Area, United StatesHybrid (In-office in San Francisco 3 days/week)CNaught is solving a critical problem: get more people to put more money into reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by purchasing voluntary carbon credits. The opportunity is massive: the market is forecast to grow to $50-100B over the next five years, as businesses integrate carbon credits into their sustainability plans because of increasing demands from consumers, investors and employees. But the market is far too complicated, and buyers need an easy-to-use solution.With CNaught, organizations like the University of Pennsylvania, Palantir, and Asana are able to purchase effective carbon credits using portfolio strategies that were previously only available to the most sophisticated buyers. Our solution maximizes impact and mitigates risk while systematically eliminating complexity from the carbon credit market to make life easier for our customers and drive adoption. There is no other solution that offers this degree of simplicity for corporate customers. It’s an “easy button” for carbon credits unlike anything else in the market.<h2>About the Role</h2>We have made a ton of progress through founder-led sales combined with a founding account executive and SDR. Our revenue and customers are growing fast through a sales motion that is getting more repeatable by the moment. Now we’re seeking the right account executive to continue to solidify that process and add fuel to the fire.As the second account executive at an early stage startup, this role is primarily focused on driving revenue by owning the core aspects of the mid-market sales funnel–from lead generation all the way through close. Our sales processes are improving in real time, but they are not fully built out, so the ideal candidate has early stage sales experience, is resourceful, enjoys problem-solving and improving systems, and is excited by the opportunity to drive meaningful climate impact by taking thousands of reps.
