About Agave

Agave connects your construction software systems, automates Accounts Payable workflows, and gives field and finance teams real-time visibility across projects — without replacing your ERP or PM system. Backed by Accel.

About the role

Your core role is to help construction general/trade contractors automate work through software integration, saving time and grow their company more profitably. To do this, you will own our end-to-end sales process, including: Lead gen + prospecting : research potential customers, generate leads, and build a consistent outbound sales pipeline. Attend industry events and develop connections to drive future sales growth.

What they're looking for

  • 2+ years of sales experience : 2+ YoE closing deals in a quota-carrying role at a b2b SaaS company. You understand the collaboration, process, and tenacity required to close 5-6 figure b2B SaaS contracts
  • Prior sales success : strong record evidenced by quota attainment, customer retention, and manager feedback
  • Hands-on : you have been a successful IC and want to continue being one. You must love operating in the messy weeds of finding prospects and closing them. You do not want to be an armchair expert
  • Owner mindset : you are self-directed and able to work with minimal supervision. We can trust you to disqualify poor-fit customers instead of signing them. Where there’s a gap, you fill it without asking
  • Clear + persuasive communication : you love writing crisp follow-up emails to customers and articulating compelling counterpoints to their hesitations
  • Strong EQ : you know when to listen and when to sell. You are attuned to social signals, especially on Zoom
