What We Need

Clasp is looking for a high-performing Account Executive to convert qualified demand into long-term, high-value customer partnerships. This is a consultative, enterprise sales role for someone who thrives in complex buying environments, owns a deal end-to-end, and brings curiosity, discipline, and strategic thinking to every deal.

As an AE at Clasp, you will guide prospects from first conversation through close using deep discovery, tailored solutioning, and data-backed storytelling. You’ll collaborate closely with SDRs, Marketing, Product, and Leadership to deliver a high-trust buying experience that reflects Clasp’s values. This role is critical to accelerating ARR growth, strengthening Clasp’s market presence, and ensuring customers see Clasp as a true strategic partner—not just a vendor.

What You’ll Do

• Own a book of business and consistently meet or exceed quarterly ARR targets

• Lead complex, consultative sales cycles from discovery through close, aligning Clasp’s solutions to customer business outcomes

• Deliver well-structured and persuasive sales presentations using best-in-class enterprise methodologies, with a thorough understanding of customer pain points

• Develop and design custom programs for customers based on a deep understanding of their business requirements; provide thorough, data-driven ROI analysis to make the business case.

• Build and manage strong middle-to-late funnel deal strategy, including objection handling, stakeholder alignment, mullti-threading, and procurement navigation

• Contribute 10–20% of pipeline through self-sourced efforts such as outbound prospecting, social selling, and event engagement

• Represent Clasp externally at industry conferences and events, generating top-of-funnel opportunities and building trusted relationships

• Maintain disciplined CRM hygiene, accurate forecasting, and clear next steps for all opportunities

• Partner closely with SDRs and cross-functional teams to ensure seamless handoffs and improved conversion rates

• Bubble up feedback to Clasp’s Product team identifying enhancements frequently requested during sales processes that could be implemented to improve Clasp’s win rate and stickiness

What You’ll Need

• 4+ years of proven experience carrying a quota and consistently meeting or exceeding revenue targets in a B2B sales role

• Experience running consultative, value-based sales cycles—ideally in complex or enterprise environments

• Strong discovery, storytelling, and executive-level communication skills

• Ability to customize messaging, demos, and proposals based on stakeholder needs and business context

• Experience utilizing sales tools to inform more personalized sales conversations (e.g., zoom info, fathom, AI support)

• Comfort navigating multi-stakeholder deals, objections, and longer sales cycles

• Demonstrated ownership, discipline, and operational rigor, including forecasting accuracy and CRM hygiene

• Curiosity and learning agility, with interest in building domain expertise in regulated or complex industries (e.g., healthcare, student loans, HR/hiring)

• Familiarity with modern sales tools and CRM systems (e.g., Hubspot or equivalent)

What We Give In Return

• Competitive cash and equity compensation

• Health benefits (health, dental, & vision)

• 401k match

• Commuter benefits

• Flexible PTO policy

• Opportunities to grow and perform in a fast-paced environment alongside a stellar team.
