About Zeller

At Zeller, we’re champions for businesses of all sizes, and proud to be a fast-growing Australian scale-up taking on the ambitious goal of reimagining business banking and payments.

We believe in a level playing field, where all businesses benefit from access to smarter payments and financial services solutions that accelerate their cash flow, help them get paid faster, and give them a better understanding of their finances. So we’re hard at work building the tools to make it happen.

Zeller is growing fast, backed by leading VCs, and brings together a global team of passionate payment and tech industry professionals. With an exciting roadmap of innovative new products under development, we are building a high performing team to take on the outdated banking solutions. If you are passionate about innovation, thrive in fast-paced environments, embrace a challenge, hate bureaucracy, and can’t think of anything more exciting than disrupting the status-quo, then read on to learn more.

About the role

As an SMB Account Executive, we’ll challenge you to bring a hands-on approach, creative problem solving skills, natural business-development and commercial acumen, self-starter experience and competitive fire to help us close deals with SMEs in Melbourne and greater Victoria. You will build strong and lasting relationship with small and medium-sized business owners, by understanding their payments and financial services requirements and pitching a solution to exceed their expectations. Every day will be different, and you'll thrive on going above-and-beyond to support a variety of merchants, by being a champion for their needs and a supporter of their growth.

This position is hands-on — you'll hit the streets to meet business owners, conduct email and cold-call phone outreach, pitch and win deals by positioning Zeller as the optimal solution to supercharge their cash flow, and help to implement Zeller's product in their business. This role is ideal for a junior Sales Account Executive or SBDR who is positioned to take their first step in a fast-paced closing role, and is ready to roll-up their sleeves to win deals in a fun and dynamic team and workplace.

Translate complex merchant business banking and payments requirements into a succinct, simple and beautiful solution.

Deliver an outstanding first impression for Zeller’s merchants by using storytelling, case studies, pitch decks and industry news to inspire them about how we are the right business banking partner for them.

Develop commercially sound deals across a wide variety of customer use cases, verticals, and complex economics.

Stay up-to-date with SME, technology, fintech, payments, competitor and industry trends that are relevant to your merchants.

Collaborate with your Zeller team members across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product and Operations to relay customer feedback.

Qualifications and experience
