About the Account Executive Opportunity
PartySlate seeks a highly-motivated individual to join the rapidly-growing Account Executive team. We are now in 16+ markets with aggressive growth plans and need to expand our Account Executive team. This role will be focused as remote but will be based on a flexible-hybrid model depending on team needs.
Responsibilities
As an Account Executive, you will be responsible for selling memberships to leading event professionals and venues, as we continue our rapid expansion. Prior experience with marketplace selling is strongly preferred, as well as someone who is driven to surpass goals while delivering a great experience to prospects, clients, and coworkers.

Success in this role is measured by hitting and exceeding monthly sales goals, consistently staying ahead of weekly activity metrics, attending in-market networking events, and overcoming obstacles and objections with professionalism, all in a team-focused environment.
The Account Executive will coordinate with the Customer Success team to onboard our new members and ensure the success of the new client with their membership.
