About the role Account Executives are dedicated to driving acquisition within an existing customer base by converting active Feed Connect partners into paid Listing Spotlight partners. While this role does not focus on traditional net-new logo acquisition, it is a true hunter motion. Account Executives own a high-velocity sales motion focused on discovery, demos, objection handling, negotiation, and closing. This role sits within a pod-based acquisition model that pairs AEs closely with SDRs, while still requiring AEs to self-source pipeline and manage the full sales cycle when needed. As an Account Executive, you will be tasked with the following objectives: Drive the full sales cycle from prospecting through close for Feed Connect partners who have not yet adopted Listing Spotlight. Execute discovery calls and demos that clearly articulate the value of Listing Spotlight and convert partners into paid customers. Prospect into an assigned territory of active Feed Connect accounts in the SMB segment to create and progress pipeline. Partner closely with SDRs to maximize qualified meeting flow, while self-sourcing opportunities when appointment volume falls below what is needed to achieve quota. Maintain a high level of sales activity across calls, virtual meetings, demos, follow-up, and pipeline management. Use Salesforce.com to prospect, manage activity, maintain pipeline hygiene, and move opportunities efficiently through the funnel. Build trust with partners by providing a strong experience throughout the sales process, maintaining continuity with existing Feed Connect relationships, and ensuring a thoughtful transition once sold. Meet and exceed assigned sales goals and key performance metrics tied to Listing Spotlight sales volume and account conversion. Deliver a clean post-sale handoff by routing newly sold partners to the Growth & Retention team Represent the voice of the customer internally to help improve product, marketing, and sales processes. Serve as a strong brand ambassador for Zillow Group and build trust with partners through a professional, consultative sales approach. Application Deadline is EOD Monday, June 8th.
