Your mission
deskbird is making a big bet on the U.S, and this role puts you right at the center of it.
We’re hiring a high-impact Account Executive based in Boston or New York to help lead deskbird’s expansion across the U.S. market. This is not a “plug-and-play” AE role. This is a frontline growth role with real ownership, real visibility, and real upside.
You’ll step into a market with strong existing traction, a growing brand presence, and a large volume of inbound demand already flowing, giving you the rare opportunity to accelerate momentum rather than start from zero.
As part of deskbird, a fast-growing workplace tech company backed by a $23M Series B and trusted by leading global brands, you’ll join an ambitious, high-performing team with a proven product, a clear vision, and massive room to grow further in the U.S.
If you’re looking for a role where you can close deals, build something meaningful, and define the future of a market, this is it.
In this role you will
- Own and scale a high-potential sales pipeline, fueled by both targeted outbound efforts and a strong stream of existing inbound leads.
- Run the full sales cycle end to end, from prospecting and discovery to negotiation and close, across SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise accounts.
- Capitalize on existing U.S. traction, accelerating deals in a market where interest and demand are already proven.
- Develop a deep understanding of customer pain points and position deskbird as the go-to solution for modern, hybrid workplaces.
- Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers and influence buying decisions at scale.
- Consistently exceed revenue targets by executing smart, data-driven outbound and account strategies.
- Play a foundational role in building deskbird’s U.S. presence, helping shape processes, messaging, and ultimately the future U.S. sales team.
- Work closely with leadership to help build and scale a world-class U.S. go-to-market engine. Reporting directly to the Founder and CEO.
What you need to be successful
- 3+ years of experience in B2B sales, with a strong emphasis on outbound.
- A proven track record of pipeline generation and closing both outbound and high-velocity inbound deals.
- Experience selling to SMB and Mid-Market customers.
- High ownership mentality - you thrive in environments where you build, iterate, and move fast.
- A passion for outbound sales, business development, and winning competitive deals.
What’s in it for you?
- Accelerated career growth: Join Europe’s leading workplace management platform and help define its U.S. success story.
