Account Executive Software Sales Jobs in Decatur, GA

Engagifii is a modern association management and government affairs platform built specifically for professional associations and nonprofits. For more than 25 years, we have partnered with associations across the U.S. to support membership, operations, advocacy, and professional development.

Our customers are mission-driven organizations with complex structures and thoughtful decision-making processes. We sell through trust, credibility, and long-term partnership, not pressure.

Engagifii is hiring a Senior Software Account Executive to lead new business relationships with professional associations and nonprofits.

Success in this role depends on emotional intelligence, executive presence, adaptability, and the ability to build trust across an organization, from staff-level users to executive leadership. Internally, this role requires a strong team mindset, extreme discipline, pipeline management rigor and a willingness to collaborate closely across departments.

• Demonstrate strong judgment in prioritizing high-probability opportunities and advancing them systematically toward closure
• Coordinate prospect meetings, follow-ups, and next steps to keep multiple stakeholders aligned
• Collaborate internally with marketing, customer success, and leadership to ensure alignment and smooth handoffs

• Take full ownership of deal closure, including aligning stakeholders, addressing concerns, and driving toward a clear and timely decision
• Engage Engagifii leadership selectively to accelerate alignment, not to compensate for gaps in ownership
• Attend industry conferences and events to build relationships and represent Engagifii
• Lead development of a clear, quantified business case for Engagifii, including operational efficiency, staff time savings, and strategic value creation
• Translate discovery insights into a compelling ROI narrative tailored to each organization

• Proactively pursue and deliver thought leadership opportunities at prospect conferences; position Engagifii as a strategic partner through insights that support pipeline creation and deal progression
• Manage opportunities from first conversation through contract execution with professionalism and clarity
• Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasting information in CRM
