Remote SaaS Sales AE at Yelp - US-Based Role — Columbus

Please note that while this role will operate remotely, it is required that the candidate resides in the United States (EXCLUDING THE BAY AREA).

Do you love to dine out? Are you passionate about helping restaurant owners succeed? Our mission at Yelp is to connect people with great local businesses, and that starts with people like you. Yelp Reservations and Yelp Waitlist are powerful tools that reach and engage diners with an unforgettable experience on the largest restaurant discovery platform in the world.

The Yelp Restaurants division is growing, and we'd love to have you join us. As a Strategic Account Executive, you will help lay the groundwork and foundation that will lead to the long-term success of this department. You'll have the opportunity to run the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing, and everything in between. At Yelp, you chart the course, and we'll guide you there. As you progress in your career, you will unlock increased compensation, title, and responsibilities to keep you moving in the right direction.

Yelp is a remote workplace where your work makes a difference, where you are seen as a whole person, and where you will grow with our support and guidance. If you're looking for a career (not a job) with a company that is invested in you as a whole person — from personal development, compensation, training, and more — we know just the place.

• Stay knowledgeable about other restaurant solutions available in the market that help restaurant owners grow their business
• Adapt product recommendations quickly to suit client needs — asking probing questions and handling objections will be critical to your success
• Achieve and consistently exceed monthly sales goals

• Excellent listener, assertive, persistent, and persuasive — show us your grit!
• Genuinely curious about people and local restaurants, with the innate ability to inspire passion in others

What You'll Get
