About this role 

PlanetBids is hiring an Account Executive to own the full sales cycle for VendorLine, our solution built for the vendors, contractors, and suppliers who do business with government agencies. This is a fast-moving, self-sufficient role — you'll source your own leads, run your own outreach, and close your own deals.

VendorLine has a shorter sales cycle than our core platform, which means more at-bats, faster feedback loops, and real earning potential for someone who thrives in a high-velocity environment. If you've been in SaaS sales,  especially in construction tech, field service, or a similarly contractor-focused space, you already understand the buyer we're targeting and the value we deliver.

This is an individual contributor role with real ownership. You won't be handed a warm pipeline and told to close it. You'll build your book, work your deals, and be recognized for results as we build the sales function for this product line.

PlanetBids is pleased to provide all full-time team members with the following benefits:
 

· Competitive pay that recognizes your skills and contributions

· Demonstrated ability to self-generate pipeline through outbound prospecting; you don't wait for leads to come to you

· Comfortable with high-velocity, shorter sales cycles; you can manage multiple opportunities simultaneously without letting deals stall

· HubSpot CRM proficiency required; you keep your pipeline clean and your activity logged without being asked
