About Clearing
Clearing is an AI-powered trust accounting and financial operations platform built specifically for Short-Term Rental (STR) property managers.

We help operators replace spreadsheets, manual reconciliations, and error-prone workflows with automated trust accounting, booking-level financials, clean owner statements, and streamlined payouts. Our customers manage money on behalf of others: accuracy, compliance, and clarity are non-negotiable.

Clearing is experiencing strong momentum as demand grows for purpose-built financial infrastructure in the Short-Term Rental industry.

About the Role
We’re hiring an Account Executive (AE) to drive new revenue and help scale our go-to-market motion.

This is a hands-on, full-cycle sales role where you will:

• Own pipeline generation across both outbound and inbound channels
• Partner closely with a BDR on prospecting and qualification
• Lead discovery, position the product effectively, and close new business
• Collaborate with sales leadership on larger or more complex opportunities

Clearing operates with strong cross-functional alignment across sales, marketing, partnerships, and leadership. In this role, you’ll contribute beyond just closing — helping refine messaging, improve sales processes, and shape how we scale revenue as a team.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on ownership, is comfortable carrying a quota, and enjoys hunting for new opportunities while closing high-quality deals in a fast-moving SaaS environment.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting through close
• Generate pipeline through outbound (email, LinkedIn, phone) and inbound channels
• Partner with a BDR to drive top-of-funnel activity and conversion
• Lead structured discovery and demos to uncover financial workflows and operational pain points
• Clearly position Clearing’s value and tie it to measurable business outcomes
• Close SMB and mid-market deals, and support larger opportunities as you grow domain expertise
• Manage pipeline, forecasting, and deal progression in Salesforce
• Navigate objections and guide prospects through complex decision-making processes
• Collaborate with sales leadership on messaging, ICP refinement, and overall sales strategy
• Develop deep expertise in trust accounting, STR operations, and Clearing’s platform

Who You Are

• Experienced in closing new business in a SaaS environment, ideally in a full-cycle role
• Comfortable generating your own pipeline and operating with a high degree of ownership
• Strong at discovery, qualification, and running a consultative sales process
• Confident handling objections and asking for the close
• Competitive, driven, and motivated to consistently hit and exceed targets
• Organized and disciplined in managing pipeline, forecasting, and sales processes
• Clear, effective communicator with strong written and outbound messaging skills
• Coachable, self-aware, and committed to continuous improvement
• Curious and interested in learning complex products, workflows, and industries

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech, SaaS, AI tools, or financial/accounting workflows
• Familiarity with the short-term rental, property management, or hospitality space
• Experience working in startup, high-growth, or remote environments
• Proficiency with Salesforce or similar CRM tools
• Strong business acumen or relevant academic background
• Creative outbound or strong copywriting skills

Why Clearing

• Meaningful product, real impact - Help operators manage millions in owner funds with accuracy and confidence
• Challenging, high-impact sales - Sell into complex, high-stakes financial workflows where the value is clear
• Ownership and influence - Play a key role in shaping outbound as the company scales
• Career growth - Clear progression paths into AE and broader go-to-market roles
• Strong team and culture - Work alongside experienced operators and builders who move fast and support each other

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently meet or exceed quota across pipeline generation and closed revenue
• Build and convert a high-quality pipeline through outbound and inbound efforts
• Run effective discovery and sales processes that uncover real business needs and drive strong close rates
• Create urgency and align multiple stakeholders to move deals forward efficiently
• Maintain accurate pipeline hygiene, forecasting, and deal progression in CRM
• Operate with a high degree of ownership in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Ramp quickly on product, market, and tools, while continuously improving performance through feedback
