Account Executive

San Francisco, CA

Sparrow is a modern, leave management HR software - the first end-to-end solution for all kinds of leaves. With incredible traction, thousands of leaves managed - we are positioned to be an industry leader. Our leave specialists are experts that care about helping employers and employees when they need it most. With negligible customer churn and an NPS score of 76, we know that our customers love us.  


Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.). Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone - company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave).

  

Our company is growing rapidly and we are excited to hire the next member of our mid-market sales team. We're looking for talented and ambitious sales professionals with a track record of success who can manage a high-velocity sales cycle while also navigating a very strategic sales process. You’ll work with mid-market prospects across all industries selling to HR professionals while building a strong referral network that will increase your closing rate. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be part of a high-growth sales organization.  


Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco with remote employees across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.

  • Be the voice of our customers by providing feedback to our cross-functional teams so we can improve our product and offering. Work closely with our implementation and leave specialists to ensure a smooth transition for new customers. 


About you
