Senior Account Executive

Hey there!

Lemon.io is hiring a Full-Cycle Senior Account Executive to own deals end-to-end, with a primary focus on closing and developing accounts. Our SDR team, founding BDR, and GTM engineer drive a strong share of pipeline, so you can spend your time where it matters most: discovery, closing, and growing the accounts you win.

Why Lemon.io

We're a bootstrapped, fast-growing developer marketplace connecting top-tier vetted developers with companies building and scaling their tech. Our CEO is hands-on, our culture is transparent, and our eNPS sits at 82. We work hard and have fun doing it.

Who you'll be selling to:

• What we solve: We help startups skip long, costly hiring cycles by matching them with pre-vetted senior developers in 24–48 hours, on month-to-month terms.
• Stage & size: Mostly seed-stage startups, with some Series A–C and enterprise accounts.
• Verticals: SaaS, AI/ML, fintech, healthtech, marketplaces.
• Buyer: Whoever owns engineering hiring — founders, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, or Heads of Product.
• Sales cycle: ~14 days from first touch to close. High velocity is core to how we work.

Team & reporting:

You'll report to the Sales Team Manager and join a tight GTM team — 4 AEs, 3 SDRs, 1 founding BDR, and a GTM engineer. Regular call coaching and peer learning are built into our operating model.

Key Responsibilities:

• Closing: Own the deal from throughout discovery, demo, negotiation, and close.
• Account Development: Build client relationships, expand usage, and drive repeat business and referrals.
• Pipeline Partnership: Work closely with SDRs, the BDR, and the GTM engineer, giving feedback loops that sharpen targeting.
• Prospecting When Needed: Step in with targeted outbound (calls, email, LinkedIn) to supplement pipeline coverage.
• Pipeline & KPI Management: Maintain a structured pipeline, forecast accurately, and hit conversion, revenue, and growth targets.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Product, Marketing, CDX and Developer Matching to align solutions with client needs.
• Reporting & Analytics: Track metrics, analyze performance, and refine your approach.

What success looks like:

• Month 3: Fully ramped and hitting quota.
• Month 6–12: Consistently exceeding quota, expanding accounts, and contributing to team playbooks.

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of B2B sales experience (tech/SaaS preferred) with a strong closing track record.
• Proven success in driving new business and expanding accounts at high deal velocity.
• Sharp qualification instincts — efficient discovery, quick signal-vs-noise judgment.
• Comfortable prospecting when needed (cold calls, email, LinkedIn).
• Strong grasp of the full sales cycle: qualification, discovery, negotiation, closing, and account growth.
• Effective partnership with SDRs/BDRs — constructive feedback that lifts pipeline quality.
• Fluent English (all company-wide communication is in English).
• Hands-on with HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Slack, and Notion.

Working hours & location:

• Location: Remote.
• Hours: Flexible, but 2–3 days a week until 11 PM Kyiv time to overlap with US clients (mostly NY & SF).

Compensation:
