Senior Account Executive

BrightHire is a category-creating, high-growth, Series B software company with a mission to give everyone the hiring experience they deserve.

We deliver on this mission by transforming the way many of the world’s leading companies build exceptional teams. We created the Interview Intelligence category, and our clients include some of the world’s most innovative companies—Canva, OpenAI, Ramp, Hubspot—up to the Fortune 500.

BrightHire is now a part of Zoom, and while we continue to operate independently, we benefit from Zoom's broad technology platform and deep customer base.

As an Account Executive joining the BrightHire team, you have a unique opportunity to run at both greenfield and cross-sell opportunities within Zoom's install base. You get the flexibility of working within a startup tech stack, with the stability of being part of a publicly traded, globally respected technology brand. And you get double the swag. :)
