SMB Account Executive
At Mudflap, we're modernizing the $1 trillion trucking industry, the backbone of the U.S. economy. By helping over 100,000 underserved small businesses save over $1.5 billion on fuel, Mudflap has quickly grown into a profitable fintech platform that processes billions in annual payment volume.
We’re building financial technology for an industry that touches nearly everything we buy, and we’ve reached an exciting point in our growth. We’re profitable, scaling quickly, and expanding our products upmarket to serve increasingly larger and more complex fleets. That means our Sales team has a lot left to build, and a lot of opportunity to win.
As an SMB Account Executive, you won’t sit on the sidelines waiting for the chance to sell. You’ll own the full sales cycle for SMB fleets, from identifying the right decision-maker and uncovering their needs through navigating objections and closing the business.
At the same time, you’ll help us break into larger fleets, identifying and developing opportunities and partnering with our Commercial Account Executives to win more complex deals.
We’re looking for people who like a challenge, care about getting better, and genuinely love to win. You’ll get real ownership, a clear number to chase, exposure to increasingly complex sales, and the opportunity to grow your career alongside a profitable company entering its next stage of growth and scale.

Commuter benefits to ease your travel
Lunches and snacks to keep you fueled
A collaborative, high-growth environment where you’ll work closely with talented teammates across the company

Experience (What we look for):
