About Us
At Givver, we’re on a mission to disrupt the payroll and HR industry. Say goodbye to slow, outdated, and cumbersome systems—we’re building a platform that empowers businesses to operate faster, smarter, and with greater clarity.
Using cutting-edge AI, automation, and real-time insights, Givver simplifies operations and eliminates headaches, freeing organizations to focus on what truly matters—empowering their people. We’re an early-stage rocket ship on a trajectory to transform the industry, and we need bold, visionary builders to help us get there.
About The Role
We’re hiring a Founding Account Executive to spearhead our go-to-market strategy and build a world-class customer base from the ground up. This isn’t just another sales role, it’s a chance to define and execute the entire sales motion, work directly with customers to solve their most pressing HR and payroll challenges, and drive revenue at a company that’s transforming the industry.
As the solo growth hire alongside the founders, you’ll own the entire sales process end-to-end—from prospecting and outreach to closing deals and building long-term relationships. In less than six months, we anticipate growing the team, and this role presents a unique opportunity to either step into a leadership role or remain an individual contributor while mentoring and training new team members.
This role is perfect for individuals who have thrived in high-growth startups and know what it takes to sell a disruptive product in a well-established industry that is being reshaped by new technology. You’ll work closely with the founders to shape the sales playbook, refine our positioning, and build the foundation for a world-class sales organization.
What You'll Do
* Own the End-to-End Sales Process: From pipeline generation to deal closure, you’ll be responsible for every aspect of the sales cycle.
* Develop and Execute a Sales Strategy: Identify and target high-value prospects, craft compelling messaging, and drive new business through outbound and inbound efforts.
* Build and Nurture Relationships: Engage with key decision-makers, develop a deep understanding of customer pain points, and provide consultative solutions.
* Lay the Foundation for Growth: Help create repeatable sales processes and playbooks that will scale as we build the sales team.
* Drive Revenue and Impact: Meet and exceed sales quotas while providing critical feedback to product and tech teams to refine our go-to-market approach.
* Opportunity to Lead: As the growth team expands, choose whether to remain an elite individual contributor or step into a leadership role to train and mentor new sales hires.
What You Bring
* Startup Hustle: You’ve been a founder, early employee, or key contributor at a high-growth company and know how to navigate ambiguity while executing at a high level.
* Proven Sales Success: 3+ years of quota-carrying and closing experience in a high-volume, high-velocity B2B SaaS environment.
* Hunter Mentality: You love building pipeline, executing outbound sales, and winning new business. You’re relentless in your pursuit of high-value deals.
* Consultative Selling Approach: You are a great listener, empathetic to customer challenges, and excel at tailoring solutions to meet their needs.
* Payroll & HR Tech Expertise: Experience in payroll, HR tech, or fintech is highly preferred.
* Strong Communication & Negotiation Skills: You can confidently present, persuade, and negotiate with decision-makers in SMEs and mid-market businesses.
* Process-Oriented: You know how to manage a sales pipeline, leverage CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar), and use data to inform decision-making.
* Grit & Resilience: Startups aren’t easy, and you thrive in an environment where you need to be resourceful, adaptable, and persistent.
Why Givver?
