Account Executive

Account Executive to Alva Labs
Ever applied for a job that suited you perfectly, but you didn’t even get a call-back for a first interview? Yeah, it has happened to most of us. But sadly, it often happens for the wrong reasons. For instance, you have a 60% less chance to get a callback if you have an Arabic-sounding name. If it was for a leadership role, you are less likely to get it if you are a woman, or if you are short (yes, you read that correctly, short!).

But it doesn’t have to be like this. There are alternatives to hire based on the stuff that really matters, based on who the person behind the CV is. Alva is one of those alternatives. We are now looking for an Account Executive that can help us drive growth, and help our customers to start implementing the future of hiring, today! 🚀

Alva in a nutshell
Ever stumbled upon a personality test in a recruitment process? Alva Labs is a SaaS scale-up that offers a unique candidate assessment platform. We help companies build their organizations with the right people in the right place, in a fair, accurate, and automated way. By combining state-of-the-art psychometrics, data science, and an obsession with candidate experience, we provide the needed tool for data-driven talent acquisition.

We are growing 2-3x per year and are in the exciting phase to launch Alva in new markets.

What will you do
The Account Executive is a quota-carrying role and your primary responsibility will be to drive, develop and close sales opportunities that are qualified by the Sales Development team.

You will be part of a tight-working team and work closely together with our Head of Sales to build and scale the sales team. We are currently expanding to new markets and need people that, at some point, can own those markets. Prove your capacity and not even the sky is the limit.

A little more about the role, and what’s expected

- Quota carrying with clear goals and milestones
- You will be driving clients through the sales funnel, from qualified prospects/ meetings booked by our SDRs to signed deals
- Over time, we want you to grow and expand into a senior role within sales.
- Spread Alva to new international markets
- We are constantly growing and improving, we need to own your targets and help iterate on our ways of working


Life at Alva

We are a diverse team of 45 people, representing 15 different nationalities. Your closest colleagues will come from a wide range of professional backgrounds, how about partnering up with an ex-professional dancer, a psychologist, a former interior designer, an acro-yoga instructor, or why not the former Swedish champion in boccia?

At Alva, you will work in an exciting, fast-past environment, where you will have the opportunity to grow every day. Mixing business with pleasure is our secret weapon. So don’t be surprised when someone drags you along on a “run n talk” instead of an ordinary meeting, if your boss starts dancing in a monkey suit (yes, that happened), if you have a session of mindfulness or yoga in between meetings, or if the after-work ends up on a rooftop doing gymnastics (again, speaking from experience). Simply put, you will work hard, and you will play hard! And you will do so surrounded by incredible, supportive people.

Why you should join our team:

- How about 7 weeks of vacation? If that doesn’t do it for you, check out the rest of our benefits (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/Benefits-1abeeb8de8004f6ab915f2fced70f057)

- You will join a value-driven company, check out our values (https://www.notion.so/alvalabs/Alva-Values-630a69c6c72642f2b1caab5dab55b953)
