Account Manager

What You'll Do

• First Week: You will learn about Column's mission and vision, seek to understand our existing sales and account growth process, and begin meeting other folks on the team. We're a small company that's growing quickly, so interpersonal rapport is essential. 
• First Month: You will learn and practice giving a skilled demonstration of Column's public notice product for publishers. You will begin to partner with Business Development Representatives and Account Managers on existing accounts. You will work to manage multiple stakeholders to close, configure, and implement deals with publishers to grow our total gross transaction volume. 
• First Six Months: You will meet or exceed activity targets for number of new deals configured, implemented, and won (when the publisher processes their first public notice through our platform). You will also takeover and work to grow an existing set of accounts by expanding to affiliate newspapers and increasing the % of public notices they run through Column. 
• First Year: You will be an impactful founding member of a sales team at a rapidly growing tech start-up that believes we have the potential to be a once in a generation company.
