Account Executive (Singapore)

About TaloTrace

TaloTrace is an AI-powered QA platform that autonomously tests web and mobile applications, discovers issues, and delivers evidence-backed findings your engineering team can act on immediately.

Unlike traditional automation tools that stop at pass or fail, TaloTrace provides a complete Trace for every issue: recorded video, logs, reproduction steps, severity, and supporting evidence.

• Ask good questions, listen carefully and identify the customer's underlying problems.
• Present TaloTrace clearly and persuasively to technical and business stakeholders.
• Adapt your pitch to different buyers and situations.
• Handle objections without becoming defensive or overly scripted.
• Qualify opportunities and decide where to spend your time.
• Navigate multiple stakeholders, evaluations, negotiations and procurement.

What We're Looking For

We are less interested in impressive job titles and more interested in evidence that you can sell. You may come from an Account Executive, Business Development, Sales Development, Sales Manager, Account Management, Solutions Sales, Technical Sales or similar background. What matters is what you have actually done.

Proven Sales Ability

• Revenue or quota attainment.
• Deals you personally helped close.
• Pipeline you personally generated.
• Successful outbound campaigns.
• Customer expansion or retention.
• Recovery from difficult sales periods.
• Sales processes or strategies you improved or created.

We value people who can explain their personal contribution, not just what their team achieved.

Strong Commercial Judgment

• Identify a real customer problem.
• Recognise whether an opportunity is genuinely qualified.
• Understand buyer motivation.
• Prioritise the right accounts and opportunities.
• Recognise buying signals and warning signs.
• Know when to push, when to adapt and when to walk away.
• Connect customer pain to business value.

Communication & Persuasion

You must be highly fluent and persuasive in Vietnamese. Fluency in both English & Vietnamese is preferred but not required.

• Build trust quickly.
• Ask thoughtful questions.
• Listen.
• Explain complex ideas simply.
• Persuade without sounding robotic.
• Handle difficult conversations.
• Communicate confidently with customers.

Technical Curiosity

You do not need to be an engineer. But you should be comfortable learning technical products and speaking with technical buyers.

Experience selling products such as SaaS, AI, developer tools, cybersecurity, cloud/infrastructure, QA/testing, data or enterprise software is highly relevant.

You should enjoy understanding how the product actually works, not just memorising a pitch.

Strong Outbound Instincts

You should be comfortable creating pipeline rather than relying entirely on inbound.

• ICP and account research.
• Contact selection.
• Personalisation.
• Outreach and follow-up.
• Lead nurturing and re-engagement.
• Conversion measurement and iteration.

Most importantly, you should have evidence of having done this yourself.

CRM Discipline

• Leads.
• Opportunities.
• Activities.
• Follow-ups.
• Pipeline stages.
• Forecasting.
• Reporting.

You should see CRM as part of your sales operating system, not administrative work that someone else should handle.

The Kind of Person Who Will Do Well Here

• Take ownership — you see a problem and work out how to solve it.
• Move quickly — you do not need a perfectly documented playbook before taking action.
• Learn aggressively — you can learn a technical product, understand the market and improve your approach quickly.
• Think independently — you are comfortable challenging assumptions and proposing a better way.
• Stay close to the customer — you listen carefully and use what customers tell you to improve your selling.
• Stay resilient — you can recover from a bad month, a lost deal or a difficult customer without losing momentum.
• Care about results — you enjoy being measured by outcomes.

What Makes This Role Different

You will not be joining a mature sales organisation with everything figured out. You will help us figure it out.

Your responsibilities may evolve as we learn more about which customers benefit most from TaloTrace, which buying signals matter, which sales approaches work, which messages resonate, how we structure our pipeline, how we expand accounts and how we build a repeatable sales process.

We want someone who sees that ambiguity as an opportunity.

You won't just be operating the sales machine. You'll help build it.

Compensation

Competitive base salary + uncapped commission.

Your earning potential will be directly connected to the revenue you create. We are open to calibrating the package based on your experience, track record and level of responsibility.

How We Assess Candidates

We care about what you have actually done.

• Previous sales achievements.
• Sales strategies you have personally used.
• Outbound pipeline generation.
• Qualification and sales frameworks.
• Buyer signals.
• Sales pitches.
• Objection handling.
• Customer retention and expansion.
• CRM experience.
• Sales process improvement.
• A practical TaloTrace sales case.

We may ask you to explain and defend your answers in the interview.

We are far more interested in a real sales story than a perfect CV.

You Do Not Need to Tick Every Box

We are looking for exceptional people, not perfect resumes.

Maybe you have sold a highly technical product but never worked in QA. Maybe you are an outstanding Vietnamese-speaking salesperson with strong commercial instincts, but your English is still developing. Maybe you have only a few years of experience but an unusually strong record of building pipeline and closing difficult deals.

What matters is whether you can learn, sell, take ownership and produce results.

If you think you can do that, we'd like to meet you.
