Account Executive - SMS
Klaviyo is one of the fastest growing tech companies in Boston right now. Our sales team is poised to grow close to 100% in 2021, which will bring incredible opportunities for both new and existing employees. As part of our expansion plans, we’re investing heavily in the SMS market. Klaviyo launched a game-changing new product in early 2020 that is taking the SMS market by storm. We’re on a mission to help creators truly own their destiny, and a big part of the recipe is providing them with the tools, expertise, and data required to create amazing customer experiences through the channels they own (Email, Website, Mobile/SMS). SMS has proven to be an incredibly effective marketing channel for D2C brands and we’re super excited to bring this to all of our customers!
A significant part of this role is educating our customers on how they can grow their businesses faster by leveraging SMS. Customers lean on us to uncover additional revenue opportunities, and they’re constantly looking for ways to increase AOV, capture more abandoned carts, and get closer to their customers. SMS gives them an opportunity to further extend their reach and create hyper-personalized experiences in conjunction with their email campaigns.
The SMS Account Executive will report directly into the Manager, SMS Sales. This person will be responsible for selling our SMS product into our base of 60k+ customers. This is an incredibly exciting time to join the Klaviyo sales team given that you’ll be an early contributor on a team responsible for growing one of Klaviyo’s newest and most lucrative lines of business.
