A BIT ABOUT US

Lever was founded seven years ago to tackle the most strategic challenge that companies face: how to recruit and hire top talent. We’re building the next generation of hiring software that companies like Netflix, Yelp, Cirque du Soleil, Shopify, and Eventbrite rely on to grow their teams. We've rethought the talent acquisition paradigm and are the innovation leaders in our space.

We’re extraordinarily proud of the company we’ve built so far (not to mention humbled to be recognized as the #1 place to work in San Francisco, as well as a top workplace in the entire United States.). Our people are Lever’s biggest competitive advantage: we’ll continue investing in our “Leveroos” by bringing our people-first culture to Toronto.

THE CHALLENGE

As a Mid-Market Account Executive you’ll have direct impact to Lever and it’s revenue growth. You will work directly with prospective customers as they evaluate their recruiting technology needs. The Mid-Market team is pivotal in our Sales organization; as one of the largest revenue generators, our team has massive impact on Lever's overall growth.

In addition you’ll be working closely with a dedicated SDR and will play an informal yet vital role in their growth and development. Marketing and Engineering will rely on you for feedback on how the market is responding to our message and our platform.

Last and certainly not least there are a seemingly endless number of companies who's ability to attract top talent will be directly impacted by the work that you do. In doing so, you’ll be helping Lever to continue to grow into an amazing company that achieves impressive goals.

THE OPPORTUNITY

What sets sales at Lever apart? Our industry-defining product and highly collaborative team. We aren’t your normal sales team - our culture of teamwork is unparalleled.

We’re charged with bringing Lever to some of the biggest and most unique companies across all industries: from tech startups to world-famous traveling circuses and global non-profits. Our goal is to set our customers up for success and help them make hiring more strategic, collaborative, and human.
