Account Executive (AE)

As an Account Executive (AE) at Verta, you will be the architect and overseer of the enterprise sales process with prospective clients.

As a key contributor to a growing startup, you will bring an “art of the possible” mentality of exceeding your given targets and not settling for the minimum.
