Join the Archive sales team and help the world’s leading brands adopt circular business models through resale. As an Account Executive, you’ll represent Archive — the technology platform powering resale programs for over 50 brands globally, including Lululemon, The North Face, New Balance, and Dr. Martens. We’re looking for someone who wins by showcasing value over features, thrives in collaborative selling, and leads with both confidence and humility.

- Experience that includes multiple approaches to running a clean sales process; skills in advancing sales evaluations forward, shortening sales cycles, and closing business.
- Consultative sales skills. A proven ability to ask for next steps and get the right people in the room to facilitate successful calls and meetings.
- Experience selling to individuals and teams; whether it’s a single executive or multiple stakeholders, finding alignment and getting buy-in across multiple team members is a strength.
- Ability to communicate complex solutions simply, with examples of doing so in prior roles
- Comfort operating with smaller, highly targeted account lists and strategic, account-based approaches
- Adaptability and comfort in a dynamic environment where the product and sales messaging evolve quickly
- Salesforce or equivalent experience
- Experience working in a fast paced start-up environment
