Harbor Compliance is hiring an Account Executive, Tech Partnerships to open and close one of our largest distribution opportunities: tech integration partnerships with the platforms small and mid-sized businesses already run on. You'll run sophisticated, multi-stakeholder partnership deals from first conversation through embedded go-live, working closely with a dedicated PoC (proof-of-concept) engineer to bring integrations to life during the sales cycle. This is a senior individual contributor role with full ownership of a partnership pipeline and real influence over how Harbor connects with the broader ecosystem our customers already use.
Responsibilities
- Own the tech-integration pipeline. Source, qualify, and close partnership agreements with platform companies across ERP, accounting, HR/payroll, and vertical SaaS.
- Lead the full deal cycle: identifying executive sponsors, driving technical fit conversations, aligning on business model (referral, OEM, embedded, or resell), and managing through legal and signature.
- Partner closely with our product and engineering teams to build, and demo integration proofs of concept during the sales cycle.
- Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene and keep deal strategy and next steps clearly documented.
- Run regular forecast and pipeline reviews with sales leadership.
- Partner with Product to surface partner-driven roadmap input and feature requests, backed by a clear business case.
- Represent Harbor at platform partner events and conferences.
Requirements
- 6+ years of closing experience in B2B SaaS, including at least 3 years focused on tech/platform/integration partnerships, with a track record of larger embedded and OEM type deals.
- Strong understanding of API economics, deal registration, revenue-share models, and OEM vs. embedded vs. referral partnership structures.
- Fluency in a modern sales methodology (MEDDPICC, Force Management, Challenger, or similar).
- Strong technical acumen — comfortable reading API documentation and integration architecture, and translating between engineering and partner stakeholders without hand-holding.
- Advanced CRM proficiency (HubSpot or Salesforce), comfortable with technical sales tooling and using AI tools for research, deal review, and content drafting.
- Excellent written and verbal communication — able to write a clean partner-facing proposal or exec summary, and run confident conversations with a partner's CEO or CTO.
Nice to have
- Experience in compliance, legal services, financial services, or another regulated B2B industry.
- Experience selling into or partnering with major SaaS platforms.
- Experience working directly with Product and Engineering teams on API/integration roadmap decisions.
