As one of the fastest growing mobile startups in the world, Hiya is revolutionizing the way people make and receive phone calls. The phone app has remained unchanged since the smartphone launched over a decade ago. Hiya is fixing this through innovations designed to finally make the phone experience a great one. We make this happen by partnering globally with leading carriers and smartphone OEMs, including Samsung and AT&T. Despite being a startup, we are already making a big impact for our almost 20 million monthly active users in 196 countries (that’s all of them!). We have a solid business model, we are already generating significant revenues, and our backers include some of the world’s leading investors.

Hiya is a small, but mighty crew of 70 with offices in Seattle, London and Budapest. We’re growing quickly and hiring across every area of the company. Come join us as we make today’s calling experience smarter and more relevant for all 5 billion mobile subscribers worldwide!

We are looking for an Account Executive to join our Ad Sales team in Seattle to support our Directory Service, the largest call-oriented Search engine in the world, which serves millions of users around the globe and it's growing by nearly a million new users a month.

In this role, you will be directly responsible for selling advertising space on Samsung places to local businesses across the U.S. Success in this role is measured by hitting and exceeding monthly ad sales goals, consistently staying ahead of daily metrics, and handling rejection in stride, all in a team-focused environment. Our ideal candidates will have experience with “pay per click” ad sales, a technology mindset and a passion for data.

What will you do:

• Create, manage and own your ad sales pipeline from the prospect’s initial inquiry to the close of the deal
• Actively develop opportunities by identifying and researching potential accounts
• Present custom web/phone demonstrations to prospects after evaluating their needs and matching to the best solution(s)
• Maintain and grow existing customer base by providing best-in-class customer service
• Collaborate with the Marketing, Account Management, and Product teams to provide our customers with the best possible product experience
• Ensure successful onboarding of new clients
• Collaborate with appropriate team members to determine necessary strategic sales approaches
• Where necessary, support marketing efforts such as trade shows, exhibits, and other events
• Overcome objections of prospective customers

What we expect from you:

• You’re an excellent listener, assertive, persistent, and persuasive
• You are genuinely curious about people, local businesses, and possess the innate ability to inspire passion in others
• You are adaptable and can think on your feet; when faced with new challenges, or tough conversations, failure simply isn't an option
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• You have previous experience with a CRM, Customer Service Ticketing System, or similar proprietary systems
• You have a record of exceeding goals: exceeding sales quota and quality ‘contact’ metrics (numbers of meetings secured, etc.)
• You have an appetite for learning! You’re keen on turning training and feedback into action and continuous self-improvement
• You are committed to a high standard of integrity and work ethic
• 4-year degree

What you should expect from us:

• Work at a supportive and fast-growing startup with a fantastic team
• Make an impact in the lives of tens of millions of consumers
• Many office perks and great company benefits
• Collaborate and learn from other great team members
• Support in developing your skills and accelerating your career
