It’s a chance to help build an entirely new business inside a category-defining company.</p> <p>Checkr Trust is accelerating solutions into various verticals that detect bad actors prior to them impacting businesses. We have early traction, strong product-market pull, and the backing of Checkr — but we are still building the plane while flying it.</p> <p>We are looking for a <strong>Senior Account Executive</strong> who wants:</p> <ul> <li>A difficult, high-ownership role</li> <li>Ambiguity over predictability</li> <li>Accountability over excuses</li> <li>Long-term impact over short-term comfort</li> </ul> <p>This is not a “manage a book of inbound” job.

You will operate like a founder inside a startup — except you have the resources of an established company behind you.</p> <p>If you want something safe and structured, this won’t be the right fit.<br>If you want to build something enduring — and are willing to do the hard work required — keep reading.</p> <h3><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Build your territory from scratch: define ICPs, refine messaging, test approaches, and create repeatable motion where none exists yet</li> <li>Own the entire deal lifecycle — from cold outreach to multi-threaded enterprise close.</li> <li>Drive new business pipeline via traditional and creative cold outreach</li> <li>Educate the market on a category that is still forming</li> <li>Navigate ambiguity, push through rejection, and maintain conviction when deals stall or timelines stretch</li> <li>Experiment with AI to find efficiencies across your work</li> <li>Partner cross-functionally with product, legal, operations, and leadership to shape how we win.</li> <
