Senior Account Executive - Texas

About The Role

Apartment List is hiring a Senior Account Executive (Sr AE) to lead growth within an assigned territory. This is a true hunter role – you will source, open, and close new business with property management companies that are not yet on our platform. You will own outbound prospecting, build pipeline, run full-cycle deals, and partner cross‑functionally to ensure long-term success.

This Austin, San Antonio or Houston area-based role requires occasional (25‑40% travel) within your assigned territory.

• Own your territory by strategically targeting high-opportunity accounts, generating pipeline, and establishing yourself as a trusted marketing and AI-leasing expert.
• Run consistent, high-volume outbound activity (calls, emails, in-person visits) to generate new opportunities, aligned with defined activity expectations.
• Conduct full-cycle sales – prospecting, discovery, custom pitching, multithreading, negotiation, and closing.
• Build strong relationships with marketing directors, RPMs, IT/system teams, and other decision makers.
• Educate partners on the full Apartment List platform, including A-List Market, A-List Nurture, and our AI leasing solutions.
• Collaborate with Solutions Consultants, Account Managers, Marketing, and Enablement to support deals and ensure a frictionless onboarding experience.
• Maintain excellent pipeline hygiene and forecasting accuracy in Salesforce, Gong, and other sales tools.
• Assist with account implementation immediately after close to ensure a successful go-live and smooth handoff to Account Management.

• 5+ years of full-cycle sales experience, with at least 3 years in a field, territory, or outside-sales function.
• Understanding of the multifamily industry and experience selling into regional/national portfolios is highly preferred.
• Experience selling SaaS or AI products, with the ability to articulate value, drive adoption, and simplify complex solutions.
• Proven success hitting and exceeding quota in a high-activity, pipeline-driven environment.
• Strong consultative selling skills – discovery, objection handling, multithreading, and negotiation.
• Detail-oriented, competitive, proactive, and able to operate with an “own your business” mindset.
• Experience with Salesforce and Salesloft is a plus, as is the ability to learn our proprietary tools and tech quickly.
• A systematic, disciplined sales approach – you know how to build pipeline, run a structured sales process, and close new business.

OTE: $136,000 – $146,000 (50/50 split, uncapped commissions) + equity. This is a fully remote position within the US, with regional travel as noted above.
