Role
Who you are
- Proven track record closing new Enterprise accounts with complex organizational structures, including multi-year quota attainment you can speak to specifically
- A real, self-sourced outbound motion — not entirely dependent on inbound or BDR-sourced pipeline
- Experience selling to EVPs/CXOs and end-users within the same cycle, and communicating in an executive register
- Demonstrated ability to quantify business value and build ROI cases with prospects
- Experience owning post-sale handoff and ramp/activation planning, ideally in a consumptive or volume-based pricing model
- Resourcefulness — you find the answer rather than waiting for SE/CS/BDR bandwidth that isn't guaranteed
- Operational, hands-on use of AI tools to scale your own output
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex topics
- Experience selling B2B solutions, preferably to HR buyers
- 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
What the job involves
- As an Enterprise Account Executive, you'll own new logo growth within Checkr's Enterprise segment (>5K employees)
- This is a full-cycle, high-complexity sales role — you'll build pipeline, run sophisticated sales cycles, quantify prospect pain in financial terms, and stay accountable for the deal through post-sale activation
- We're looking for someone who is AI-native, resourceful, and treats ramp and adoption as part of the sale, not someone else's problem
- Own new business sales across an assigned book (200–300 accounts), with a meaningful share of pipeline self-sourced through your own outbound motion, in partnership with your BDR
- Run full-cycle Enterprise deals — multi-thread across the buying committee, quarterback internal resources (Product, SE, CS, Support, Executives), and orchestrate the deal from first outbound to close
- Get prospects to quantify their own pain — build simple, back-of-napkin ROI models in real time and anchor the close on financial outcomes, not features
- Negotiate and close annual contracts ranging $50K–$1M
- Own post-sale activation planning — document ramp milestones and consumption targets before the deal closes, and set the CS team up to execute against them
- Use AI tools operationally to run your business — account research, pipeline management, and prospecting, not just experimentation
- Develop internal champions and sell the deal internally when you need resources or approvals
- Travel to meet prospects and customers at events, meals, or their facilities
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.
