Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for a proven sales professional who:
- Has experience selling transformational solutions to customers, where you can quickly identify and pattern map where and how the Truework solution can drive impact in a customer’s operation
- Has experience identifying and building relationships with decision makers, business and technology influencers and users, closing 6- and 7-figure pursuits
- Who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment— ready to help close the gap between the legacy solutions and processes lending teams are leaning on and their plans and intentions to deliver competitive and streamlined processes for consumers
- 5+ years of full-cycle sales experience, selling transformative technology solutions
- Experience closing new business accounts and building pipeline using modern marketing tactics
- Experience selling to EVPs, CXOs and end-users (in the same sales cycle) in both individual and team sales environments
- Ability to navigate large organizations’ political landscape to maintain and expand relationships at all levels
- General knowledge in common sales practices like MEDDPICC, Command of the Message (Force Management), Challenger, Power Selling, or others
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to simplify complex topics in a friendly and approachable manner, present executive-level business cases
- Ability to juggle and complete multiple priorities and projects (internally and externally) in a fast-paced environment
- You are smart, self-motivated, organized, disciplined, inquisitive, detail-oriented, and process-oriented; you have an ownership mentality within all aspects of your work
- You have a growth mindset that is always learning, growing, and actively seeking feedback
- You have a team-first mentality—you show up for your team and expect the same in return. You enjoy planning, adjusting, executing, winning, and celebrating as a team
- An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes

- As automated verification services become a more common practice for lenders in how they run their operation, you’ll lead the charge in building and executing a more repeatable playbook to drive new customers who will grow with us for years to come
- By deeply understanding their unique company challenges and goals, you will pair them with solutions that will help them reach their business objectives and innovate within their organizations
- You will be an important part of an elite, professional, and rapidly growing cross-functional team that succeeds through collaboration, grit, and learning
- Consistently achieve pipeline and revenue targets by applying modern sales techniques and processes to efficiently manage top of funnel engagement tactics and deal strategy and close processes
- Think outside-the-box to cultivate awareness of the Truework vision. Plan and execute targeted campaigns for your territory working with the marketing and partner teams to scale your coverage and build pipeline
- Partner with and guide the efforts of our internal team to support your accounts in pre-sales activities and in the deployment to execute on agreed upon account goals, strategies and tactics for growth
- Leverage analytics, case studies, past performance, and market intelligence to create a territory plan and craft your own target account strategies
- Have an understanding of the lender’s operation and an ability to identify the varying use cases where verification services can drive impact
- Exhibit deep and up-to-date knowledge of our product portfolio in order to communicate the benefits of new features and enhancements
- Show proficiency in navigating buy team personas, with intentional activities for executive bridging and champion building
- Actively understand each customer’s strategic growth plans, technology footprint, and corresponding technology strategy, internal challenges, and competitive landscape
- Review public information (e.g., new executive appointments, earnings statements, press releases) for the company and its competitors to stay updated on key industry trends and issues impacting the prospect
- Be equipped to identify and discover centers of value for lenders, and conduct analysis to quantify ROI and impact of our solution on their operation
- Represent both market trends and client needs to the Executive and the Product teams to ensure we are both serving current needs well and evolving our products and portfolio to identify future client needs
- Show unparalleled grit - constantly experiment, be willing to pivot, and have resiliency regardless of the obstacles faced
Our take
Checkr addresses the unpleasant and time consuming process of background checks so that companies using on-demand employees can make safer, more informed hiring decisions in less time. Background checks are a critical part of the hiring process, and CEO Daniel Yannisse noticed that they were painfully slow, resulting in loss of work for candidates and productivity downturns for employers.
Before Checkr entered the market in 2014 with its innovative AI technology and a solid $50m in venture capital funding, companies were waiting upwards of two weeks for their checks. Checkr substantially reduces this time frame and has grown to receive a $5 billion valuation.
Checkr has accelerated growth by making several highly advantageous acquisitions of competitor companies GoodHire and Inflection. As the world of work embraces diversity and inclusion, the company announced an end-to-end service for candidates wishing to expunge their criminal records, furthering the company’s ‘fair chance’ mission and clearing 1000s of candidates for free since 2021. New products launched at the end of 2023 include Checkr Pay (providing access to payment right after a shift) and Checkr Onboard (unified onboarding processes), exemplifying how Checkr is keeping pace with a rapidly changing, flexible, and mobile-first workforce.
