Senior Account Executive (Sydney Based)
Paloma, Australia

At Paloma, we’re returning to global growth mode as the leading Venture Studio in Australia amp; New Zealand. We partner with companies to build world class digital products at all stages, helping them achieve their growth goals, while making pretty epic software solutions. We’ve built our client roster to include some of the coolest amp; most innovative tech startups, scaleups amp; enterprises across Australia, New Zealand amp; the USA.

To mirror our local success in the ANZ market, we’re looking to add a collaborative commercial team member who can positively impact our global new business reach. We’re aiming to be a world class technology services business in the next 3 years, and we want you to join us on this mission. We are ideally looking to someone who has pre-existing networks and relationships across Australia and the US, to help deepen our partnerships and hit our growth goals as a leading digital services provider. Representing our innovative ICP, this person would be 80% new business and 20% client management. At Paloma, we are huge advocates of flexible ways of working. We would prefer someone who is based in Sydney, but would consider outside of Sydney too.

• Create a territory plan to market to the Australian and US tech industries
• Work collaboratively with the commercial team amp; broader cross-functional technology function to ensure alignment on business goals

Benefits

We have always been a distributed first company that values flexible working. This allows us to work wherever, whenever (largely) and however we are most productive. We have lovely offices in Darlinghurst (Sydney), Auckland and Wellington. We’ve put in a lot of work to make sure our offices are enjoyable places to spend time, so most of our team members split their time between the office (dog friendly) and home (children on laps during Zoom calls).

In addition to a competitive salary with generous amp; achievable commission structure, we want to help you grow. We offer several options for Professional Development, particularly within your sales and leadership skills.

We encourage you to bring your personality and interests to work, and have Slack channels set up to discuss life’s simplest pleasures like #food, #gardening, and #life-hacks.

Given that we're a distributed team, we always make time for virtual banter to keep the team connected, including Friday themed playlists, Watercooler topics, and Slackbot daily check-ins.

Paloma Ventures is an arm of the business where we found, fund, and build businesses from the ground up. Working at Paloma gives you an interest in current and future ventures. You can think of it like having access to an index fund of early stage technology companies. Three of our ventures have taken rounds of external funding and are in growth mode, having recently gone through Series A rounds. In other words, there's some real value there already.
