The Role

The Account Executive is an integral part of the sales team and is responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with current and future customers. Establishing presence in new markets and increasing expansion into current regions is crucial to the success of Knock. Our sales reps are located across the country to best serve their respective regions.

The Team

The Sales and Go-To-Market team is a high energy group that loves connecting the industry with the leading business solutions. We enable our customers to understand the occupancy dynamics of their portfolio, and then what they should do across marketing, sales, retention, and operations to ensure they maximize their business results. And we don’t just show them what they need to do - we help them take direct action within our product! We take a comprehensive approach to ensuring our customers are able to realize value throughout the customer lifecycle. 

The Company

We started Knock to solve problems we faced ourselves as consumers: as part of the process for renting an apartment hasn't evolved at the same pace of technology. It was disorganized, time consuming, and frustrating. It seemed landlords were stuck in the past and didn’t understand how to use technology to their advantage. But the problems and solutions seemed obvious to us, and we had a vision for what a better experience should be. After validating our insights with a few early customers (who became investors) we got to work partnering with real estate companies to deliver on turning that vision into reality.

Five years later, we have helped our property management customers find apartments for millions of renters. We’ve developed an industry-defining SaaS platform, an intelligent front office platform providing the productivity and business intelligence tools needed to maximize occupancy, rent growth, and customer satisfaction at every community. Our customers trust us to deliver the consumer experiences and business applications that are essential to their bottom line. The proof is in our 10x revenue growth over the past two years, in addition to our numerous industry awards.

In March of 2019 we announced we raised a $10m Series A round to continue to accelerate growth and product development, led by Madrona Venture Group: https://www.geekwire.com/2019/madrona-leads-10m-round-knock-crm-communications-service-apartment-landlords/
