Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money’.
Our Partner Sales team is growing and we are looking for a Senior Account Executive who thrives on championing the success of small businesses. If you’re fueled by the passion to make a difference, have a proven track record of sales excellence, and are committed to building trusting relationships with business owners and their accountants and bookkeepers, then Relay is the place for you!
Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America. You will play a pivotal role in Relay’s growth journey by prospecting into top 500 accounting firms and then building strategic relationships with these firms to onboard their book of business.
