Zunesty | We optimize your sales & marketing engine

About Us

Zunesty is a fast-growing demand generation and revenue operations agency serving B2B companies across software, technology, and professional services. We build predictable lead generation systems, run outbound campaigns, manage pipelines, and support clients with growth-focused marketing execution.

We are expanding quickly and need a polished Account Executive who can fully run the sales cycle without founder involvement. This means handling discovery, presenting the offer, managing proposals, and closing deals consistently.

This is a long-term role with strong earning potential for the right AE.

Compensation

  • Hourly base (flexible based on experience)
  • Commission : 10% of MRR for 6 months on each client closed
  • OTE : $55,000–$80,000 USD per year depending on performance
  • All leads provided (inbound + outbound)
  • Flexible hours with some overlap required with US (EST / PST)

What You Will Own

  • Running discovery calls with founders, CEOs, CMOs, CROs, and marketing leaders
  • Delivering clear recommendations and presenting the Zunesty offer
  • Handling objections professionally
  • Preparing proposals and negotiating terms
  • Managing the contract stage using existing templates
  • Closing deals without the founder on calls
  • Handing off new clients smoothly to the delivery team
  • Maintaining pipeline hygiene and timely follow-up
  • Tracking metrics and participating in weekly pipeline meetings
  • Representing Zunesty with professionalism and confidence
  • What We’re Looking For

  • At least 3–5 years as a full-cycle Account Executive
  • Comfortable selling B2B services, SaaS, or marketing solutions
  • Experience closing deals in the $50,000–$150,000 ACV range
  • Strong communication skills and ability to speak with executives
  • Native or near‑native English (South Africa strongly preferred)
  • Ability to understand marketing, lead generation, funnels, and revenue systems
  • Highly organized and reliable with follow‑up
  • Confident running Zoom / Google Meet sales calls
  • Comfortable navigating proposals and contract negotiation
  • Able to manage a pipeline inside a CRM
  • Hungry, proactive, and committed to long‑term growth
  • Experience selling marketing services, agency retainers, or consulting
  • Experience selling into founders, marketers, or revenue teams
  • Understanding of outbound, demand gen, email campaigns, or pipeline development
  • Prior work with US clients
  • What Success Looks Like

    Within 60–90 days, you should be :

  • Running 90% of discovery calls on your own
  • Closing 1–2 new retainer clients per month
  • Managing the pipeline end‑to‑end in the CRM
  • Reducing founder involvement in sales to nearly zero
  • Creating predictable monthly revenue growth for the agency
  • Schedule and Expectations

  • Remote role
  • Flexible hours but must be available for US time windows
  • Weekly pipeline reviews with founder (20‑30 minutes)
  • Weekly roleplay and coaching during the first month
  • Expected to follow Zunesty’s sales process and maintain CRM discipline
  • Opportunity to grow quickly into full time
  • How to Apply

    Please send :

  • A short introduction about your AE experience
  • Deals you’ve closed (contract size, industry, and your role)
  • Your hourly rate expectations
  • Seniority level

    Mid‑Senior level

    Final Note

    We are looking for a motivated, sharp, professional AE — not a junior SDR or someone juggling multiple businesses. If you're an experienced closer looking for a long‑term home with real earning potential, we’d love to talk.
