We're building a more trustworthy Internet. Come join us.

As part of Fastly’s Sales team you will be in charge of the full sales cycle in high-growth accounts within a clearly defined territory within the media sector from prospecting, pitching, negotiating to close. You will also respond to inbound demand that meets the aforementioned criteria and work those opportunities from initial qualification to close. 

You will execute on the account plan to deliver maximum revenue while managing complete and complex sales-cycles, often presenting to stakeholders the value of our platform. Building and utilizing deal frameworks to help guide the customer and affect control over the sales cycle are paramount. You will structure and execute daily plans to maximize phone time, including preparing for calls by leveraging Sales Engineering resources, and debriefing the team on outcome and next steps. As an SMB Account Executive, you will be able to make outbound calls to build pipeline outside of your inbound inquiries, prepare and deliver compelling quotes and contracts, and forecast sales activity and revenue using SFDC -- all with a focus on customer satisfaction and growth. This role, once proficiency is reached, will prepare you for the succeeding Commercial Account Executive seat.What You'll Do
