Executive Remote Salesforce Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

Senior Account Executive, Strategic Partnerships & Affiliates
Location: Remote (required to live in one of the following states: AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MI, MN, NY, NC, TX, UT,VT)

Qualifications:

• 4+ years of sales or partnership experience, ideally in a role where you had to build a book of business from scratch.
• A "Hunter-Farmer" Hybrid: You are fearless when cold calling potential partners to pitch a revenue-share opportunity, but you also possess the empathy and organization to nurture those relationships into a productive community over time.
• Thrives in Ambiguity: You don't need a playbook—you want to write it. You are comfortable testing new pitches, identifying new vertical targets (e.g., insurance, logistics consultants), and pivoting quickly based on what works.
• Creative & Scrappy: You can see the angle that others miss. You understand how to frame a value proposition not just to a user, but to a partner looking to monetize their influence.
• Community Builder Mindset: You understand that signing a partner is just day one. You know how to keep affiliates engaged, excited, and producing leads through constant communication and value-add interactions.
• Genuinely Curious about Business Models: You need to understand how our partners make money (e.g., how a Credit Card Points Consultant operates) to effectively pitch how Melio fits into their ecosystem.
• Proficiency in SalesForce, Outreach.io, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

A day in the life and how you'll make an impact:

Identify & Recruit (The Hunt)

• Prospect and Cold Call: You will aggressively hunt for high-leverage affiliates—think Credit Card Points Consultants, Insurance Brokers who don't accept cards, or Industry-Specific Consultants.
• Pitch the "Business in a Box": You aren't just selling software; you are selling a revenue stream. You will convince these partners that referring their high-spend clients to Melio is a lucrative way to monetize their existing relationships through our Gross Profit revenue share model.
• Creative Sourcing: You will experiment with different verticals to find the "hidden gems"—partners who have trusted access to UHV companies but haven't monetized that influence yet.

Onboard & Enable (The Setup)

• White-Glove Onboarding: Once a partner says "yes," you ensure they (and their clients) are set up for success. You will help them identify the low-hanging fruit in their book of business to get their first wins on the board quickly.
• Technical & Sales Enablement: Teach partners how to spot a Melio opportunity and how to pitch it to their clients.

Community Management & Nurture (The Flywheel)

• Drive Portfolio Adoption: You will manage your book of affiliates like a community manager. Your goal is to keep them active, sending leads, and viewing Melio as a significant revenue driver for their business.
• Relationship Moats: Build deep, personal relationships with your partners so that Melio remains their exclusive referral of choice.

Feedback Loop: Since this is a new motion, you will constantly feed insights back to growth and marketing teams. What segments provide deep opportunities for UHV? What incentives drive the most behavior?

About the team:

Melio is on a mission to keep small businesses in business. We simplify B2B payables and receivables so business owners—and the professionals who support them—can focus on what they do best. You will be joining the Ultra High Value team but operating as the spearhead for this specific Affiliate/Partnership motion. This is a role for a pioneer—someone who wants to look back in a year and say, "I built that channel." You will have high visibility and the autonomy to experiment with creative strategies to drive volume.
