Software Acceleration Associate; Entry Level Sales - Paramus

Position: Software Acceleration Associate (Entry Level Sales) - Paramus, New Jersey
At Thryv, we are a team that lives by teamwork. However, it's not the work that drives us, it's the respect, trust, and care for each other that defines us as a team. We're a diverse community of trendsetters who do our best work in a fun, relaxed environment. Technology never stops evolving and neither do we. We're always looking for the best and brightest team players to join us.

About the position:

If you have 1-2 years of outbound sales experience and want to break into software account management, this program is built for you.

We're launching a 6‑Month Software Acceleration Program designed to identify, develop, and evaluate high‑potential talent for our Software Account Management (SAM) team. This is your chance to transition from prospecting to really closing roles. It is designed to prepare and evaluate talent for placement into our Software Account Representative (SAR) or Senior SAR roles.

This is a program role with full benefits and a clear outcome at the end of six months:

* Top performers will advance directly into a Software Account Representative (SAR) role

* Exceptional performers may be considered for Senior Software Account Representative (Sr SAR) placement

* Those who do not meet performance expectations may conclude participation at the end of the program

If you want a true pathway into Software Account Management, you will want to take a close look at this role.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll work in a high energy, outbound sales environment built to demonstrate your existing outbound selling skills while accelerating your ability to advance deals, influence buying decisions, and drive SaaS revenue.

* Drive outbound outreach and actively create qualified sales opportunities

* Deliver compelling, value-driven messaging to SMB and mid-market prospects

* Execute structured call, email, and Linked In engagement strategies

* Partner closely with SAM leaders and sales partners to refine conversion tactics

* Strengthen your SaaS sales acumen through ongoing coaching, training, and hands-on platform experience

* Demonstrate consistent performance within a structured evaluation framework

You'll gain exposure to real selling, not just booking meetings-setting you up for success as you transition into the SAM family.

* 1-2 years of outbound sales experience (SaaS preferred but not required)

This isn't just another outbound role-it's a career advancement program.
