- We are looking for an Account Executive to grow Relay’s Accounting & Bookkeeping (AB) channel. This is a partnership sales role. Rather than selling to one business at a time, you will build relationships with accounting and bookkeeping firms who recommend Relay to their entire client base, so a single partnership can reach dozens of small businesses
- Accountants and bookkeepers are the most trusted advisors a small business has. Winning them takes a consultative, value-based approach and a real investment in trust, and the AEs who do it well become genuine partners in how a firm runs its practice
- If you are energized by long-horizon relationship building and want your work to compound, this is the seat. Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America
- Own the full sales cycle for new AB partnerships, from self-sourced and BDR-booked discovery through to a signed pilot agreement
- Run consultative discovery with firm owners and partners to understand their practice, their client base, and the operational problems worth solving, then position Relay against those problems
- Build mutual action plans that get partners to their first client referrals, and drive early activation rather than stopping at signature
- Enable partner readiness by equipping firms to introduce and onboard Relay to their own clients with confidence
- Prospect your own pipeline into target firms using account-based research and outbound, alongside BDR support
- Hand off engaged, activated partners to Account Management with the context they need to expand the relationship
- Become an expert in our product and in the accounting industry, including the QuickBooks Online, Xero,



and Gusto ecosystem our partners work in every day
- Go beyond delivering your quota and work with the team to improve the channel playbook, which is still being written
- Work cross-functionally with Business Development, Marketing, Risk, Customer Experience, Revenue Operations, and Sales Enablement
