Ecommerce Account Executive – Hunter (Outbound)

At Pipe17, our values aren’t just words on a wall. They’re how we operate every day.

We are a high-performance team built around ownership, urgency, curiosity, and a strong bias for action.

We set bold goals, hold ourselves accountable, and move fast to solve customer problems. Every team member owns their decisions and drives outcomes. No one waits for permission.

We operate with urgency, but not recklessly. We focus on what matters most, take initiative, and course-correct quickly when needed. We value people who speak up, follow through, and take pride in their work.

• →Identify and research high-value target accounts - omnichannel brands replatforming onto Shopify, scaling into new channels, or drowning in post-checkout complexity across multiple 3PLs, marketplaces, and trading partners
• →Develop creative, multi-channel outbound strategies. Cold calls, targeted emails, LinkedIn, events, industry communities - whatever works. You’ll figure it out because that’s what you do
• →Map accounts and find the right buyers - VP of Operations, VP of Ecommerce, VP of Supply Chain, CTO, CFO - and get meetings that nobody else can get

• Own the deal from first touch to closed-won
• Partner with Sales Engineering to run discovery and demos that show prospects how Pipe17 replaces their entire iPaaS + OMS stack with one platform
• Work complex buying committees across Operations, IT, and Finance - and build business cases that make the ROI obvious (our customers are seeing 85% operational cost reduction and 99% fewer fulfillment errors)
• Sell the vision of Order Operations as a category - not just a product swap, but a fundamentally different approach to running post-checkout commerce

• Bring ideas to the table. If a vertical is underserved, tell us - then go after it. If a new outreach angle is working, share the playbook. If an event or community is full of our ICP, show up
• Identify patterns in the market - replatforming waves, Shopify migrations, brands outgrowing their middleware - and turn those patterns into pipeline
• Work with Marketing and Partnerships to amplify what’s working in the field, and provide real-time market intelligence back to Product and Leadership

Your quota is deliberately lower than a typical AE carrying a mixed inbound/outbound book. We’re not going to pretend that building pipeline from zero and closing it is the same workload as qualifying warm leads. It’s dramatically harder. We know that.

Our expectations for what you build, however, are through the roof. We’re measuring you on more than bookings. We’re looking at accounts opened, pipeline created, deal velocity, competitive wins, and the kind of strategic territory development that compounds over quarters.

The comp plan is built to reward hunting. The accelerators reflect that this is the hardest job in sales. The right person in this seat will out-earn most AEs at companies twice our size.

• 5–10+ years in B2B SaaS sales with a track record of outbound-sourced pipeline and closed revenue. You’ve hunted before. You have the scars and the wins to prove it
• A self-starter in the truest sense. You don’t wait for playbooks. You write them. You don’t need leads. You create them. Monday morning, you know exactly what you’re doing because you planned it yourself
• Creative and resourceful. You find ways in. Warm intros through your network, clever sequences that actually get replies, event plays, partnership angles - you’ve done it all and you’ll do more here
• Comfortable selling into complex organizations. Multi-threaded deals with VP and C-level buyers across Operations, IT, and Finance are your natural habitat
• A student of commerce. You understand the post-checkout problem. You know what happens when brands scale channels without operational infrastructure. You can talk to a VP of Operations about order routing logic and to a CFO about total cost of ownership
• Hungry. Not hungry because you have to be - hungry because you want to be. You’re energized by the challenge of building something from nothing

• Experience selling into commerce operations - OMS, ERP, order management, fulfillment, or supply chain software
• Familiarity with the Shopify ecosystem and the challenges brands face when replatforming or scaling on Shopify
• Understanding of NetSuite, iPaaS, EDI, or the middleware landscape that Pipe17 replaces
• Experience at a Series A–C stage company where you had to build, not just execute
• A network of contacts in ecommerce operations, retail technology, or supply chain

• A massive market in motion. Thousands of brands are replatforming onto Shopify right now. Every single one of them needs to solve post-checkout operations. The timing for this role is ridiculously good
• A product that sells. When prospects see Pipe17 replace their entire stack of middleware, custom integrations, and legacy OMS with one platform - and go live in weeks instead of quarters - they get it. The problem is real, the pain is acute, and the ROI is obvious. Your job is to get in the room
• Category creation. We’re defining “Order Operations” as a category. You won’t be selling into a crowded market with 15 competitors running the same playbook. You’ll be educating buyers and owning the narrative
• An incredible customer roster. Estée Lauder, Allbirds, e.l.f. Beauty, Made In Cookware, Black Rifle Coffee Company, Wyze, Dude Wipes - these are the reference accounts you’ll be selling alongside. The social proof is already there
• Direct access to leadership. You’ll work directly with the CEO and founding team. Your feedback shapes strategy. Your wins shape the company
• A comp plan designed for hunters. Lower base-to-quota ratio, higher accelerators, and real upside for the person who proves this motion works. If you’re the one who cracks it, you’ll be building a team under you

• You need inbound leads to hit quota
• You’d rather follow a playbook than build one
• You think outbound is “just cold calling”
• You want a predictable, low-effort path to OTE
• You’d rather manage a book of existing accounts than open new ones
