About the role
Austin, Texas, United States
Sales Team reporting to VP of Sales
This is an on-site role
Are you a sales guru who excels at building relationships and closing mutually beneficial deals in a fast-paced environment? Do you want to take your skill set and strengthen it with one of the most active venture capital firms investing in technology startups? The Account Executive is a quota carrying sales professional selling Capital Factory program sponsorships. This is completed by driving inbound and outbound sales activities to identify new prospective sponsors, presenting program solutions, negotiating sponsorships up to $100,000, creating sponsorship proposals, and managing sponsorship deliverables for all CF partners.
All of our partners are understaffed and can be hard to work with at times. It’s up to us to make them successful – that’s a big reason they choose to keep working with us. Our goal is to provide the type of service you might expect from the Four Seasons or Tiffany’s. We sweat the small stuff. We respect their time. We do whatever it takes and do it with style.

Identify and develop relationships with potential community sponsors for Capital Factory events ranging from title sponsorships for Cornerstone Events (SXSW, Austin Tech Week, Fed Supernova, and Health Supernova) to smaller community events, like Cup of Capital.
