About Us
Very is a fully-distributed IoT engineering firm, partnering with our clients to build systems for smart manufacturing, smart energy & utilities, consumer electronics, and connected wellness. Learn more at verypossible.com

Why Work at Very?
The health, happiness, and long-term career growth of our team are a top priority. What does that mean in practice? We give stipends for internet and telephone. We offer up to 21 weeks of maternity leave, 12 weeks of paternity leave, and 12 weeks for adoption or surrogacy. We have a $1,000 office stipend that allows you to make your battle station somewhere you’re excited to work. Each employee gets a professional development stipend to use on conference registration, continuing education, professional memberships, etc... We're a remote-first company, so you can work where you want (in a hammock on the beach, anyone?). But a healthy company culture isn't just about perks. It's about creating an environment where our employees can lead fulfilling lives, both at work and at home. Working overtime for extended periods indicates a fundamental failure in planning or communication. If this happens at Very, it’s a sign that something needs to be reevaluated and corrected. If you’re looking around wondering why people aren’t in “crunch mode,” the answer’s pretty simple. The thing we work hardest at is hiring good people, so we want them to stick around and have a good balance between work and the rest of the important stuff in life.

About This Role
As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will work with medium to large brands to develop and deliver a strategy for their high-impact IoT product ideas. You will work with engineers and designers across our four practice areas to create custom solutions that win for our clients and us. After the initial close, you will work with Account Management on a smooth transition for the client’s support and identify the expansion opportunities.

About You
This role is for highly-experienced Senior/Enterprise Account Executives who know how to manage complex deals and close them effectively.

We address the IoT space through our four practice areas: Hardware, Software, UI/UX, and Data Science. Our projects in this domain have ranged from data acquisition and alerting for industrial power systems to automated self-pour beer taps.

- You’ll be expected to be on the road meeting with clients. This will adjust to the number of clients you have in your pipeline but expect a couple of client visits per month within North America to support a successful outcome. You’ll have a generous Travel & Entertainment budget to do so.
