Role overview

This role will entail selling our products and services to dealerships across Canada. The Account Executive will be strong at presenting CarGurus offerings and benefits as an inside sales professional (primarily over the phone and also via email with some visits to Canada for face-to-face meetings). This is a 'hunting' role - responsible for prospecting new business/building their own pipeline and looking after a dedicated book of business.

Candidates should be persuasive, self-starters and will be encouraged to manage your own time, set priorities and meet monthly goals. The ideal candidate is tenacious, creative, and ambitious, with the ability to challenge traditional marketing conventions through data and an analytical approach.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and is ready to work for a true challenger brand. As part of a growing team, you must be a great teammate, willing to assist others and share standard methodologies to achieve team success. As a liaison between our dealer partners and the company, you must also be comfortable conveying issues to the rest of the CarGurus organization clearly, and with a thoughtful approach. Candidates must possess strong analytic and presentation skills as the role will interact frequently with marketing, business development, and senior management.

What you'll bring

• 2+ years in an inside sales role with experience in closing deals and leading negotiations
• Numbers-driven, and committed to over-achieving targets consistently
• Good organizational and communication skills!
• Self-motivated and result-driven attitude
• Car Dealership experience is a plus
• Salesforce.com experience
• SaaS sales exposure is a plus!
