Who we are
Hi there 👋 . We’re Ethena – the compliance platform for modern teams. Ethena’s suite of admin- and employee-friendly training and compliance tools help you check all the boxes and build a better workplace. Our training isn’t just a thing people get through, it’s something they actually enjoy (we got the stats to prove it—over 90% positive ratings). We are proud to be a part of the culture at companies like Zendesk, Pinterest, Figma, and Notion. In 2020, Ethena announced our $15.5 million Series A, and in 2022 we raised an additional $30 million Series B to build out Ethena’s best-in-class training solution, further invest in data and analytics, and continue launching impactful compliance products. Ethena’s Series B was led by Lachy Groom, with participation from existing investors including Felicis, Neo, Homebrew, and others. It’s a great time to join our team!
How we work
We’re a team of people who value diversity in all its forms. We love adding new perspectives and appreciate those who ask questions that help us challenge assumptions, explore new directions, and improve what we’ve already built. We believe it’s our responsibility to create an environment in which every person can bring their full, authentic selves to work. We push each other to be our best and do our training proud. We love feedback, practice empathy, and embrace humor. Seriously, we’re not shy about puns. If you brought us to a picnic, we’d be compli-ants. If we were shoes in London, we’d be trainers. If we were--you get it. Humor is welcome here. Read more about us on our careers page and follow our team on our Instagram!
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for an ambitious Mid-Market Account Executive to join our growing new business sales team.
Virtually every company needs compliance training, but most are still using clunky legacy providers that just barely check the box. Ethena is disrupting the space with a truly innovative AI-native platform – as an AE on our team, you’ll be on the front lines of this paradigm shift, partnering with customers to take their compliance programs further than they previously thought possible.
As a Mid-Market Account Executive at Ethena, you’ll manage the sales process end to end to acquire new business and create strong Ethena customer champions. Your curiosity, communication and relationship building skills, and thoughtful pipeline management will help you drive deals forward and get wins on the board.
We’re a small team, so your contributions will have a meaningful impact on Ethena’s success as a company. We’re also committed to your success as a seller – we’re a team that invests heavily in coaching and skill development. If you’re looking to make an impact and hone your craft as an AE, we look forward to meeting you!
You may notice that we have an HQ in Brooklyn, but our workforce is fully remote and your personal working hours can be based on your own timezone. All team-wide meetings are scheduled to be inclusive of all U.S. time zones.
