Account Executive

Axial connects professionals who run, advise, finance and acquire private companies. Our mission is to connect every private company with the capital necessary to finance or exit their company. The network allows providers of capital to private companies, including lenders, equity investors, and strategic buyers, to find and be found by the right opportunities from the right entrepreneurs and the right bankers at the right time.

An Account Executive is responsible for identifying and recruiting new investment banks and private equity firms onto Axial’s Network. Account Executives are highly effective communicators and able to correspond with senior level executives at various types of large, medium, and small firms. While most of our outbound efforts are via phone, we also spend a fair amount of time at conferences, events, and the home offices of prospective Members. We are passionate about finding unique solutions to help M&A advisors and investors bridge relationship gaps in their respective networks.

As an Account Executive, your day will be composed of three primary activities. First is prospecting and engaging in new conversations with firms that do not yet participate in the Axial Network. Second is managing an active sales pipeline of up to 30 prospective Members. Third is providing new Members with a smooth and value-added transition to our Account Management Team. You will achieve success by generating high levels of new conversations, discovering core value propositions for different types of firms, and demonstrating how these firms can reach their goals faster by engaging other deal professionals via the Axial Network. Our team is highly metrics driven and values collaboration and transparency.
