crm forecasting salesforce saas cold outreach

BackerKit is the next-generation crowdfunding platform that empowers creators to bring their biggest ideas to life and live their boldest creative lives.

Built for today’s creative economy, BackerKit turns crowdfunding into a more repeatable, reliable source of funding directly powered by the fans you gain, keep, and grow with each campaign.

After more than a decade offering the most trusted pledge management software in the industry, we launched BackerKit Crowdfunding in 2022. In under three years, it’s hosted some of the

biggest, record-breaking campaigns and creators in crowdfunding history

.

Our crowdfunding platform is now our fastest-growing product, powering the crowdfunding journey from end to end – and back again – through built-in pledge management, email marketing, and more, all in one place.

We’re a founder-led start-up with a diverse, close-knit team that prizes creativity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn. We are hiring multiple

Account Executives

 who will own the full sales motion from cold outreach through post-campaign revenue, helping creators launch successfully while driving BackerKit’s growth. Reporting to the Director of Sales, you will manage a mix of strategic and fast-moving deals and hit ambitious targets.

If this sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you!

How You’ll Contribute

  • Own the full sales motion from cold outreach through post-campaign revenue, driving growth for both creators and BackerKit.
  • Hit and exceed quarterly targets while balancing strategic, high-value deals with faster-moving campaigns.
  • Use a challenger mindset to uncover real goals, reframe challenges, and guide creators to stronger results.
  • Lead sharp discovery calls, engaging demos, and clear proposals that showcase BackerKit’s value.
  • Build pipeline through consistent cold outreach and high activity, always focused on quality conversations.
  • Stay organized and proactive in Salesforce, managing follow-ups and forecasting with precision.
  • Consult with creators on campaign strategy, challenging assumptions and helping them build smarter, more successful campaigns.
  • Partner across teams to ensure campaigns launch smoothly and perform beyond funding.
  • Adapt quickly in a fast-moving environment, taking initiative as priorities shift and new opportunities emerge.
  • Experiment constantly, share what works, and help evolve our sales playbook as we scale.

    • What We’re Looking For

  • You have 3–7+ years of full-cycle sales experience. No direct crowdfunding experience needed, but experience in SaaS, creator economy, or consultative B2B is a plus.
  • You consistently hit and exceed quota and thrive on measurable results.
  • You’re self-directed, resourceful, and motivated to grow your career in a company that values initiative and results.
  • You’re comfortable with multiple sales methodologies and have experience with consultative or challenger approaches.
  • You love the hunt, building pipeline, and managing outreach at scale.
  • You can balance long, complex deal cycles with faster wins without losing focus.
  • You’re organized, proactive, and excel at follow-up, forecasting, and keeping deals moving.
  • You thrive in an iterative, data-driven startup culture and enjoy pivoting strategies based on new insights.
  • You communicate clearly, negotiate effectively, and bring confidence to every conversation.
  • You’re based in the US.

    • Benefits

  • Competitive salary and a great benefits package, including stock options
  • A thoughtful, mission-aligned team building tools for the future of creative work
  • Remote-first position on a distributed team
  • Medical, dental, vision, and FSA benefits
  • 401k plan (with employer match!)
  • Stipends for supporting creators of your choosing
  • Annual Learning and Development stipend to support your professional growth
  • Family-friendly environment focused on maintaining a healthy work/life balance
