Account Executive (Mid-Market) NYC

About the Role
As a Coast AE hire in New York City, you will roll up your sleeves to do the critical work of selling Coast’s product. Coast is built to help businesses with fleets save time and money, and you will identify, develop, and close relationships with prospective clients. At the same time, you’ll help build out the sales strategy and vision for our customer-first sales organization. Your contributions will directly drive revenue for Coast, while enabling the long term success of our future sales colleagues.

What You’ll Do
Own the entire customer sales cycle from prospect to close for businesses that operate between 50 and 1,000 vehicles
Drive revenue for Coast through consultative, customer-first, selling
Develop a sales pipeline through strategic outbound prospecting and closing large inbound leads
Articulate the Coast value proposition to qualified decision makers, finance teams, and C-level executives
Collaborate with marketing to create a holistic customer engagement strategy
Share customer feedback with Coast colleagues in product, finance, and risk to improve the user experience
Achieve and exceed sales targets and projected revenue goals
Provide input into the sales organization strategy to help us scale exponentially
Proactively develop recommendations to improve and optimize our sales engine

What Success Looks Like
In your first year, you’ll be successful if you:

Build and convert a consistent pipeline through your own outbound effort, hitting and exceeding quota quarter after quarter.
Master platform selling by expanding relationships beyond the Fleet and Fuel Card to sell across Coast's full product suite.
Become a trusted advisor to prospects and customers, translating deep product and market knowledge into consultative, customer-first conversations that build lasting trust.
Bring resilience and grit to the job, pushing through setbacks and objections to reliably deliver on your number.
Embrace Coast's AI-native culture by using and building on AI tools and agents to make yourself and the broader sales org faster and sharper.
Partner effectively across departments, recognizing that your success (and Coast's) depends on marketing, product, finance, and risk pulling together with Sales.
