As the Account Executive, New Business for our SMB segment, you will drive new MRR by turning inbound interest from restaurant operators into loyal, long-term customers.

What you’ll do:
- Be the reason restaurants choose 7shifts, running consultative demos that connect our product to what operators care about, and winning their business
- Turn demos into revenue by leading meetings with confidence and running a sales process that keeps your deals on track with a clean pipeline to drive consistent wins
- Hit and exceed your target to power our collective revenue goals, focusing on the KPIs you control and the lag measures that validate it’s working
- Work smarter with AI by leaning on tools to sharpen demo prep, discovery, and follow up so you can spend your time selling and making an impact
- Shape the product and the playbook by sharing insights and feedback to help improve how we sell and inform what we build next
What you bring:
- A proven track record of hitting and exceeding MRR/ARR sales targets in a quota carrying SMB tech sales role
- Curiosity that powers thoughtful discovery. You ask strategic questions, uncovering what truly matters to each customer, and connecting it to value they can’t ignore
- The confidence to lead a conversation, read what each prospect needs, and guide SMB operators to a genuine “yes” they feel great about
- Fluency in sales engagement platforms & CRM, like Gong and Salesforce
- An appetite for working smarter with AI, using best in class tools to move faster and work more effectively
- An appreciation for the learning curve, leaning into coaching and feedback and treating each conversation as a chance to get even better
- A team player’s instinct: showing up with energy, sharing what’s working (and what’s not), and lifting up those around you to win together
It’d be even cooler if you had:
- Experience in restaurant tech (POS, payroll, online ordering, reservations, or tip management) or a working knowledge of restaurant operations, tip pooling, and labor compliance
- A track record selling in high-volume inbound environments where speed and pipeline discipline matter
- Availability in PST or MST business hours

Whether you’re honing your craft or exploring new paths, you’ll be supported and empowered to own your growth and impact a product shaping the future of the restaurant industry.

- Culture: We’re proud to be recognized among the best workplaces in North America. Guided by our mission and values, we move fast to solve meaningful problems and celebrate wins together. Whether through in-office and remote events, team offsites like Sparks, or everyday moments of connection, we create space for shared growth, collaboration, and fun.
- Equity: We’re a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company, and we believe everyone should share in the success they help create. When we build together, we grow together.

We prioritize candidates who thrive in a hybrid work environment with offices in Saskatoon and Toronto, ensuring in-person collaboration and connection when possible. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when needed. Oh, and our ‘90 Day Shift’ program lets Shift work from (almost) anywhere because who wouldn’t want to trade their desk for a beach view once in a while?
- Support: We set Shifties up for success with the tools they need, like the latest Apple tech, a home office setup, and some 7shifts swag to make it official. But support goes beyond day one. We’re serious about professional growth, offering coaching, feedback, development planning, and opportunities to grow from within.
We know you might not check every box, and that’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, inspired to contribute to a meaningful product, and eager to share ideas that drive real change, we’d love to hear from you. We’re building an inclusive team that reflects the diverse industry we serve, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
We thank you for your interest in joining the 7shifts team!
