SalesAccount Executive

Proper AI is the first AI-native accounting and operations platform built exclusively for the property management industry. We are growing fast, and expanding our sales team with people who want to be part of building something significant.

This is a full-cycle closing role. You will own deals from first call to signed contract, selling into property management and real estate leadership: CEOs, CFOs, Controllers, Owners, and COOs. The product is complex, the buyers are sharp, and the sales cycle is short. That is by design.

This is the kind of role that defines careers. If you want to sharpen your craft, close deals that matter, and help set the standard for how a high-performance sales team operates, this is the place.

What You Are Selling Into

Property management companies are sitting on a $20B accounting and operations problem. The traditional solution has always been in-house accounting staff, but that model is breaking down. Accounting talent is expensive, hard to hire, harder to retain, and increasingly difficult to train and manage at scale. Most operators are stretched thin and know it.

Proper AI is a fundamentally different answer. We are not a staffing firm, not a bookkeeping vendor, and not a point solution bolted onto existing software. We pair top-tier accounting talent with purpose-built AI technology to deliver a level of accuracy, consistency, and scalability that in-house teams simply cannot match. Our service is geared directly with the property management systems our clients already use (Yardi, AppFolio, RealPage) and takes on the full scope of their accounting operations.

There is no real competitor category here. You are not going up against other software companies. You are making the case for a new model entirely, one built for this era of AI, against the status quo of hiring, managing, and hoping your accounting department holds together. That is a compelling sell for the right person.

The Sale

This is a consultative, complex sale, not a transactional one. Prospects are executives and operators who think fast and ask detailed questions. They want to understand how the product actually works, how their team interacts with ours, and why this is different from what they have tried before.

Many prospects have been burned by outsourced accounting vendors in the past. Others do not yet see us as anything more than a bookkeeper. Your job is to change that perception through genuine discovery, operational fluency, and a clear-eyed case for why Proper AI is a better path forward.

You will not be starting from zero. Pipeline is generated through inbound leads and SDR-sourced outbound, and you will have support from day one. That said, this is not a role where everything is handed to you. The best AEs here bring their own instincts, help sharpen what is working, and occasionally build new ground when the opportunity is there. Sales cycles run approximately 30 days.

What Success Looks Like at 6 Months

Achieving monthly quota of $30K to $40K MRR (roughly 5 to 6 deals per month at full ramp)
25 to 35% sustained close rate
Average sales cycle under 30 days
Forecast accuracy within 10% of committed pipeline
Clean, accurate HubSpot records with documented next steps at all times
Holds complex conversations with CFOs and Controllers without escalating
Drives next steps consistently -- the buyer is never the one deciding what happens next
Can articulate the AI-first differentiation clearly and confidently in any live conversation

OTE: $250,000

Base Salary: $100,000 to $110,000

Variable Commission: $140,000 to $150,000

Uncapped upside with no earnings ceiling

Top performers significantly exceed OTE

How You Earn It. Your monthly quota is $30K to $40K MRR. At an average deal size of $60,000 ACV and growing, that works out to roughly 5 to 6 deals per month to hit plan. That is a real number. It requires consistent execution across a full pipeline, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

What makes it achievable: pipeline is provided. Inbound leads come in through paid media and SDRs are sourcing outbound on your behalf. You are not cold-calling your way to quota from a blank spreadsheet. You are closing a steady flow of qualified opportunities with a short sales cycle and a product that solves a problem prospects already know they have.

Hit your number and you earn your full variable. Exceed it and there is no ceiling. The structure rewards the reps who show up every month and close, not the ones who swing for a single big deal and coast.

4 to 8 years of full-cycle closing experience in tech-enabled services, complex services, or financial services

Experience selling where the product has a meaningful service layer, implementation complexity, or operational depth -- this is not a pure software demo sale

SaaS experience is relevant if the sale involved multithreading across stakeholders and a complex, consultative buying process

Comfortable selling to CEOs, Owners, CFOs, Controllers, and COOs

Proven ability to run fast sales cycles (approximately 30 days) or compress longer ones

Minimum 1 year of HubSpot experience

Track record of contributing to and improving sales process, not just executing it

Background in FinTech, Accounting Tech, Property Management SaaS, or Vertical SaaS

Experience selling outsourced or tech-enabled services where trust and skepticism are central to the win

Startup or high-growth company experience -- you know what it looks like to build while operating

Familiarity with MEDDIC, Challenger, or SPICED

Fast learner who makes complex things simple. You will need to get up to speed on the product and hold detailed conversations with skeptical CFOs and Controllers. If you cannot make hard things sound clear, you will lose credibility fast.

Active listener with controlled, confident communication. The best reps here are not high-energy pitchers. They are measured, sharp communicators who make buyers feel heard and run tight, purposeful conversations.

Creative pain discovery. Prospects will not always volunteer their problems. You know how to find the real pain through layered questions, genuine curiosity, and a working understanding of what operational dysfunction looks like in a property management business.

Quick on your feet. Buyers here are founders and executives who think fast and speak directly. You need to keep up, handle unexpected questions without defaulting to 'let me get back to you,' and keep deals on track when conversations shift.

Urgency without pressure. You move deals forward through timelines and business consequences, not desperation or discounting. When a deal goes quiet, you re-engage in a way that feels genuinely useful, not pushy.

Process discipline. You follow the sales process consistently and contribute to making it better. Clean CRM hygiene and accurate forecasting are not administrative tasks to you -- they are how a high-performance team operates.
