About The Company

This role is with a fast-growing company revolutionizing the eyewear industry through customizable, affordable, and fun frames. With exceptionally high customer retention and a loyal customer base, the company is expanding into the B2B wholesale eyewear space, targeting thousands of independent optical practices across the country. This is your chance to be part of a product-led, high-growth business redefining how eyewear is sold and experienced.

The Role

We’re seeking our first Inside Account Executive to help launch and scale the company’s B2B wholesale channel. This is a hybrid role that combines sales, account management, and business development—perfect for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and wants real ownership.

You’ll be a cornerstone member of the go-to-market team, partnering with leadership to define outbound strategies, manage a portfolio of accounts, and co-create systems and playbooks that can scale to thousands of clients.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and grow a portfolio of independent B2B accounts (optometrists, opticians, and ophthalmologists)
  • Build strong virtual relationships with clients—driving performance, retention, and upsell opportunities
  • Design and execute outreach strategies via telesales, email, and digital engagement
  • Develop and manage an inside sales cycle based on customer value and growth potential
  • Establish KPIs, dashboards, and scalable account management processes
  • Partner with marketing and operations to align offers and campaigns with account needs
  • Gather feedback from clients to inform product and operational improvements
  • Assist in onboarding and training support roles (SDRs, lead researchers, outbound reps)
  • Help manage product returns and warranty inquiries in a professional manner
  • Collaborate with leadership to shape scalable sales and support frameworks

What We're Looking For

  • 3-6 years of experience in sales, account management, or business development
  • Background in B2B sales targeting small businesses or independent professionals
  • Comfortable working in D2C-adjacent industries (optical, dental, veterinary, pharma, healthcare)
  • Proven success in hitting targets and managing account growth
  • Skilled in using digital tools, CRM systems, and virtual communication
  • Able to proactively support clients across marketing, education, and customer service
  • A clear, confident communicator who builds trust quickly and solves problems effectively
  • Strategic thinker with experience in building or optimizing sales processes
  • Self-starter who’s resourceful, adaptable, and thrives in early-stage environments

Bonus Points

  • Experience in the optical, dental, or healthcare retail industries
  • Familiarity with CRM platforms, telesales tools, and lifecycle marketing strategies
  • Previous experience in startup or early GTM team environments

Why You’ll Love This Role

  • Be part of a high-retention, product-led brand disrupting an outdated industry
  • Own a foundational role in a fast-scaling B2B channel
  • Work remotely with high autonomy and impact
  • Influence sales strategy and account operations from the ground up
  • Grow into a leadership position as the team and business expand
  • Competitive pay and benefits
