Account Executive

Join 8am™ (formerly AffiniPay) as an Account Executive!

Law firms run on billable hours - we're hiring Account Executives who know how to make every one of theirs count. You'll own your territory like it's your own business: prospecting, demoing, closing, and turning "maybe" into "where do I sign."

Founded in 2005, 8am™ (formerly AffiniPay) is the professional business platform built to help legal, accounting, and other client-focused professionals run stronger, more profitable businesses. Today, more than 250,000 professionals across the U.S. trust us to help them work smarter, serve clients better, and unlock their full potential. We've made the Inc 5000 fastest-growing companies list 13 years running — turns out winning is a habit, and we're just getting started.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full sales cycle- from outbound prospecting, and product demos to negotiation and close- with support from marketing and XDR 
• Build and manage a pipeline within your assigned territory and segment, prioritizing accounts strategically to hit quota
• Sell to a range of stakeholders - attorneys, managing partners, office administrators, and IT decision makers, while building consensus across the firm
• Develop a deep expertise in legal workflows (practice management, billing, compliance, client intake, etc.) and how our software solves for them
• Empower our customers by connecting our value proposition directly to customer ROI 
• Build trusted relationships that go beyond the first sale - earning repeat business, referrals, and customer loyalty by understanding what matters most to your clients

About You

• 2+ years of consultative, closing-focused B2B sales experience (SaaS is strongly preferred)
• Proven track record of success in meeting and exceeding goals
• Comfortable cold calling and turning conversations into pipeline
• Strong written and verbal communicator
• Self-driven, with a genuine passion for sales
