Aligned is hiring a Mid-Market Account Executive (Remote, North America) to join their Sales & Business team. The biggest reason deals stall isn’t bad sales execution: it’s buyer friction.
About Aligned:
Aligned is the buyer enablement platform that helps modern B2B revenue teams close deals faster by solving the real problem: buying complexity.
The biggest reason deals stall isn’t bad sales execution: it’s buyer friction. More stakeholders, longer sales cycles, and greater budget scrutiny mean buyers struggle to evaluate, gain internal buy-in, and get a deal approved.
Aligned removes these roadblocks by giving sellers and buyers a single shared space – one link with every decision resource, stakeholder, and next step in one place.
With real-time signals, mutual action plans, and embedded deal playbooks, Aligned helps AEs drive deal momentum, reduce ghosting, and close with confidence – all while enabling their buyers to win.
