The Opportunity
Carrot is expanding its reach into small and mid-size employers across the Southeast, and we’re looking for a driven Account Executive to help lead that charge. In this role, you’ll own the full sales cycle for SMB accounts in your territory — from initial outreach and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close. You’ll work with HR leaders and benefits decision-makers to understand their workforce needs and position Carrot’s platform as a meaningful solution for their employees. This is a high-impact, quota-carrying role on a growing commercial team. You’ll be part of a mission-driven company that is genuinely changing outcomes for people navigating one of the most personal and often underserved areas of healthcare. The Southeast territory represents a real growth opportunity for Carrot, and the person who steps into this role will have the chance to shape it.

- Lead discovery conversations with HR leaders, benefits managers, and People Operations teams to understand workforce needs and position Carrot’s value
- Develop and present tailored proposals that tie Carrot’s platform to the prospect’s business outcomes, benefits strategy, and employee experience goals
- Build and maintain accurate pipeline forecasting in Salesforce; consistently update records, activities, and deal stages
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Customer Success, Solutions Consulting, and Marketing to support deal progression and smooth handoffs
- Represent Carrot at regional events, conferences, and broker/consultant meetings to build brand awareness and develop relationships across the Southeast market
