About the Opportunity

In this role, you’ll work as a founding member of Worldly’s Account Executive team to help us strategically expand our offerings into new markets. Through our longstanding partnership with Cascale, Worldly is deeply entrenched in the apparel and footwear industry. Our flagship product, the Higg Index, is the industry standard for supply chain sustainability reporting. This is unique in the global sustainability landscape. Few, if any, other industries have aligned around a singular standard. That presents a huge opportunity.

As Worldly’s first Account Executive for new markets, you will spearhead our efforts to bring our solutions to new audiences. We have conducted extensive research to confirm that these audiences have a need for the solutions we provide, and are currently underserved by alternatives. We are looking for a savvy seller to turn this opportunity into real traction.

What You'll Do

Strategy

  • Achieve revenue targets. This is a quota-carrying role. The more you sell, the more you earn.

  • Build relationships. Relentlessly. Often from scratch. Use every tactic available to connect with prospects and inform them of the value we can bring to their business.

  • Evangelize. We have a proven message that resonates in our core industry. But with new territory comes new tactics. We are looking for someone endlessly experimental, with a genuine belief and passion for the solutions we provide. Your challenge will be to inspire others to share in that belief.

  • Learn, fast. Develop and maintain an expertise in the Worldly suite of solutions, corporate sustainability best practices, and evolving industry regulations.

  • Maintain a meticulously well-organized pipeline of sales opportunities, diligently tracking deal dynamics, and strategically progressing towards a mutually beneficial outcome. You should care about sales process, with a bias for action and a sense of ownership on each opportunity.

  • Collaborate. Work seamlessly with all internal departments to improve the efficiency of your own work and to diligently find solutions for client/prospect problems.

  • Ideate. You will be the eyes and ears of the company in unfamiliar territory. You will be expected to document the needs of your prospects and liaise with Worldly R&D teams to make sure the demands of the market are reflected in our product roadmap.

We'd Like to See

The successful candidate will have the following minimum qualifications:

  • Experience carrying a quota. This role is accountable to outcomes.

  • 5+ years of experience selling something, anything. The bigger and more complex the transaction, the more relevant. Experience in a technology/SaaS organization or related context is preferred.

  • Committed to sustainability as evidenced by your professional or life experience.

  • This is a critical factor: Enthusiastic about fast-paced environments and comfortable navigating ambiguity in your role, always scrappy looking for solutions.

  • Mental grit and innate empathy: When the going gets tough, you bring a sense of levity and perspective to the table. You’re an empathetic human who values the same in others.

What We Can Offer You

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance are offered through multiple PPO options. Worldly covers 90% employee premium and 60% spouse/dependent premium.

  • Company-sponsored 401k with up to 4% match.

  • Incentive Stock Options.

  • 100% Parental Paid Leave.

  • Unlimited PTO.

  • 12 company holidays.

Life at Worldly

Benefits and Perks

  • Earn a competitive salary and performance-based bonuses. Get healthcare, retirement matching, and equity for US employees.

  • Use the office stipend to get the supplies you need—combat Zoom fatigue with no-meeting Fridays.

  • Flexible time off. Take the time you need to recharge. Our culture encourages team members to explore and rest to be their best selves.

  • We're remote, not lonely. Join the culture committee, coffee chats, or a variety of other interest groups.

Equity Statement

We believe reflecting the diversity of those we strive to serve is essential. True innovation happens when everyone has room at the table, including the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel. We’re dedicated to building a culturally and experientially diverse team that leads and works with empathy and respect.
