Account Executive

Remote

*This opportunity is presented by Shift Group on behalf of a fast-growing education and credentialing company.

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a fast-growing company that helps financial professionals earn the credentials and education that move their careers forward. Demand is strong, the team is expanding, and they're hiring an Account Executive to win new mid-market business.

They hire for the person, not just the résumé. If you've closed deals as an AE or managed and grown accounts as an Account Manager, this is your chance to own a bigger book with real upside. We back this expectation with an $80,000 Base and a $120,000 OTE. If you're ready to sell something that genuinely changes careers, let's talk.

Key Responsibilities

• Win New Business: Prospect, qualify and close mid-market accounts.
• Run a Tight Process: Move deals from discovery to signature with discipline and speed.
• Build Relationships: Become a trusted partner to the organizations you serve.
• Ramp Fast: Learn the product quickly and put it to work in your deals from the first weeks.

Qualifications

• The Experience: Prior closing experience as an Account Executive or Account Manager.
• Competitive Background: Former collegiate or professional athletes and military veterans thrive here. Your discipline and drive to win are your resume.
• The Execution: Organized and comfortable owning a full sales cycle.
• The Mindset: Honest, direct, coachable and hungry to grow.

What is Shift Group?

Shift Group is a career platform built specifically for elite former athletes and military veterans. We help experienced professionals translate the traits that made them successful in uniform—discipline, resilience, and leadership—into high-impact business roles.

Through our platform and coaching resources, candidates showcase their track record, connect directly with companies seeking proven talent, and position themselves for leadership and strategic opportunities across business development, strategy, operations, and more.

Why Shift Group?

We’ve navigated this transition ourselves. As former athletes and veterans, we know the value of experience, leadership, and performance, and how to translate that into meaningful business impact.

• Strategic coaching and guidance to refine your leadership approach and accelerate team impact.
• Tools to showcase your achievements and story in ways that make you stand out to decision-makers.

• The ability to position yourself for leadership and high-visibility opportunities.

The result: experienced professionals who don’t just apply, they get noticed, connected, and hired.

Why isn’t the company name listed?

The companies we partner with do not publicly post these roles. Instead, they work directly with Shift Group to identify and hire from our network.

They come to Shift Group with a clear focus on hiring former athletes and veterans, trusting the caliber of talent we develop and building their teams from this community.

This role represents just one of many opportunities available through our platform. By joining Shift Group, you’ll gain access to a curated set of opportunities you won’t find on traditional job boards.
