Job Description

Who you are:

• You want to be a part of a company that is dramatically changing the way compensation is handled across North America.
• You have a natural thirst for knowledge and genuinely want to be a thought leader in whatever you sell, and you’ll work hard to get there while being patient in the process.
• You are passionate and have a proven track record of consistently exceeding expectations both for the company & your customers.
• You thrive in making the most of ambiguity. You can easily go from a day of back-to-back client meetings to a day filled with prospecting calls.
• You are an agile salesperson. You have had experience partnering quickly with your clients but have also been able to foster relationships over several quarters.
• You are naturally positive, with a keen ability to tactfully spin objections into creative solutions.
• You’re fearless. Your energy and enthusiasm can only be matched by your business acumen while speaking to C-Level clients.
• You’re a feedback master! You are able to identify your own weaknesses and have no problem saying “I don’t know.” And why would you? You are so good at implementing feedback that it makes it easy.
• You enjoy sharing your ideas and working closely with a team who is encouraging your success.
• You have an affinity for working with numbers… You don’t need to be a nuclear physicist or a corporate controller, but you shouldn’t be scared by a percentile, talking about “median” vs “average”, hearing really bad math jokes! You should be somewhat knowledgeable about data and spreadsheets in general.

What you'll be doing:

• Generate new business opportunities through both pre-qualified meetings and your own prospecting.
• You’ll use Salesfoce on a regular basis to manage your pipeline of opportunities, keeping it up to date as you go.
• Work through multiple contacts within an organization, escalating the sale over a period of time.
• You will actually talk to people! At PayScale, our reps get to interact with a variety of contacts daily, from HR Generalist to C-level.
• You’ll become an expert in compensation strategy and the product. This will allow you to manage your business from start to finish without having to involve a technical expert.
• From concept to close, you’ll strike the ideal balance between being a trusted advisor for your clients and asking for their business/pushing the close.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of proven success managing a complex sales process, selling multiple products and working with multiple key stakeholders; Preferably within the HR Tech or SaaS industries. 

OR...

• 5+ years of experience in the Human Capital industry, as a Compensation Consultant, Compensation Analyst, Compensation Manager (or equivalent)
