Backed by strong growth and a big vision, we’re building the future of renting—and inviting bold thinkers to help us shape it!
About the Role:Apartment List is hiring a Senior Account Executive (Sr AE) to lead growth within an assigned territory.

- Conduct full-cycle sales - prospecting, discovery, custom pitching, multithreading, negotiation, and closing.
- Build strong relationships with marketing directors, RPMs, IT/system teams, and other decision makers.
- Educate partners on the full Apartment List platform, including A-List Market, A-List Nurture, and our AI leasing solutions.
- Collaborate with Solutions Consultants, Account Managers, Marketing, and Enablement to support deals and ensure a frictionless onboarding experience.
- Maintain excellent pipeline hygiene and forecasting accuracy in Salesforce, Gong, & other sales tools.
- Assist with account implementation immediately after close to ensure a successful go-live and smooth handoff to Account Management.
- 5+ years of full-cycle sales experience, with at least 3 years in a field, territory, or outside-sales function.
- Understanding of the multifamily industry and experience selling into regional/national portfolios is highly preferred.
- Experience selling SaaS or AI products, with the ability to articulate value, drive adoption, and simplify complex solutions.
- Proven success hitting and exceeding quota in a high-activity, pipeline-driven environment.
- Strong consultative selling skills - discovery, objection handling, multithreading, and negotiation.
- Detail-oriented, competitive, proactive, and able to operate with an “own your business” mindset.
- Experience with Salesforce and Salesloft is a plus, as is the ability to learn our proprietary tools and tech quickly.
- A systematic, disciplined sales approach - you know how to build pipeline, run a structured sales process, and close new business.
