Account Executive, Midmarket

Steer offers a suite of software tools for today's automotive repair shop. We combine a mix of software tools that a repair shop needs to run a highly profitable shop, in one user-friendly, cost-effective platform. Through the Steer suite, we allow the shop owner to get back to focusing on what matters, and to stop worrying about marketing and customer retention.

Steer began as an online directory for drivers to find a local mechanic. Fast forward to today, Steer has launched a complete Customer Relationship Management (CRM) marketing suite, complete with text messaging, email automation, direct mail integration, reputation management, appointment reminders, declined/recommended services, and many other features. We are always innovating and we are proud to be a leader in the automotive repair industry. In August 2024 Steer acquired AutoOps - the leader in modern, intelligent, and fully integrated scheduling software for auto repair shops.

Steer is building one of the fastest-growing GTM engines in automotive SaaS, and we’re launching a dedicated Mid-Market segment. We’re looking for a Mid-Market Account Executive to own a new business with full-service auto repair groups running 4–10 locations.

These are serious operators. They’ve built multi-million-dollar businesses, they’ve seen plenty of vendors, and they buy on results. You’ll run consultative, multi-stakeholder deals with owners, operations leaders, and finance, and you’ll win them with sharp discovery and a business case that holds up.

This is a builder role. You’ll carry a number while helping shape the Mid-Market playbook, and you’ll work directly with our CRO on how this segment grows.

We measure success three ways: MRR added, rooftops added, and how well you build the foundation for the team that follows.
