Magic is a leading modern outsourcing platform that connects SMBs to high-quality remote workers, from SDRs to virtual assistants and more. With roots in Silicon Valley and backing from top venture capitalists, our workers are supercharged with a combination of the latest AI technology and training. We came out of Y Combinator in 2015, have grown to 1,000+ remote workers, and are backed by Sequoia Capital with over $30M in funding.
Background
Our company came out of Y Combinator in 2015. Since then we've grown to 1000+ remote workers, with strong venture-backing (including Sequoia Capital) and over $30M in funding to date. We are fully remote across Asia and US time zones.
We are seeking experienced and driven Account Executives (Business Development Managers) who are passionate about helping fast-growing businesses achieve their goals. As an Account Executive, you will own the end-to-end sales cycle—from initial outreach and discovery to closing and onboarding—while consistently creating value and fostering lasting client relationships.
We will give you 50+ warm inbound leads per month. Your job? Own them. All the way. From discovery to close, from “not now” to “let’s revisit,” your success will come from your grit, discipline, curiosity, and accountability. We’re looking for high-performing Account Executives who are obsessed with results, coachable to the core, and treat every lead like gold.
This role requires a consultative, relationship-first selling approach with a horizontal, client-expansion mindset. We are not looking for aggressive, transactional closers. Success at Magic comes from deeply understanding client needs, positioning value across multiple stakeholders, and building long-term partnerships—not from high-pressure tactics.

Job Offer
What Winning Looks Like
You handle 2 to 8 discovery calls per day and never drop the ball
You don’t let soft “no’s” die—you work the deal until the answer is final
You actively ask, “What could I do better?” and apply the feedback fast
You own your pipeline like you personally paid for the lead—every lead, every stage, is tracked and followed up on
You’re not waiting for opportunities—you’re creating them in your pipeline
You can clearly articulate Magic’s human-powered value proposition and why it differs from AI-only solutions
You bring evidence and specifics to every conversation—not just rapport and generalizations, but concrete examples, data, and detailed problem-solving
Client executives trust your recommendations and view you as a consultative partner, not just a sales rep
When a deal stalls or a prospect pushes back, you’re back with a creative strategy within hours—not waiting for direction
Your HubSpot is immaculate—pipeline stages are current, next steps are clear, and no lead falls through the cracks
Who This Role Is NOT For
You blame the leads, the tools, or the process rather than asking what you could do better
You need a manager to tell you what to do every day
You think leads manage themselves and don’t believe in persistent, proactive follow-up
You don’t take the initiative to improve—you wait for someone to tell you what to fix
You treat “bad timing” or “not now” as dead ends instead of future wins to nurture
You approach sales with aggressive, transactional tactics rather than a consultative, relationship-building mindset
You are looking for an AI-only or pure SaaS product to sell—Magic is a human-powered service enhanced by AI, and this distinction matters
You only follow established sequences and tools without developing your own creative approaches to pipeline management
You focus on company-level questions (size, funding, clients) without showing genuine curiosity about the role itself, the product, or how you’d contribute
You have a pattern of short tenures (under 1 year) without clear, substantiated reasons for each transition
You don’t have strong English proficiency for daily C-level and Director-level calls with U.S.-based prospects
You don’t have a professional home office setup right now with high-speed internet (50+ Mbps), a professional headset, and a quiet environment

Engage prospects with a consultative, relationship-first approach—diagnose business needs, position value across multiple stakeholders, and build long-term partnerships
Clearly articulate why Magic’s human-powered model is different from (and better than) AI-only alternatives for the client’s specific use case

Own your pipeline like a pro—keep HubSpot clean, prioritize outreach, and maintain deal velocity at all times
Demonstrate resourcefulness and independent problem-solving—don’t just follow prescribed sequences or tools; develop your own creative strategies to move deals forward
Maintain impeccable CRM hygiene—every deal stage, next step, and client interaction is tracked and up to date
Collaborate with Sales, Support, and Ops Teams to ensure clients start strong and are set up for long-term success

Continuously learn and improve—seek feedback, apply it fast, and treat personal growth like part of the job
What You Bring
Required Experience (Non-Negotiable)
2+ years of B2B sales experience (SMB/Mid-Market, U.S. or Canada), with a proven track record selling SaaS, subscription services, AI, or outsourcing to executive-level buyers
Demonstrated tenure stability—we value candidates who show commitment and growth within their roles rather than frequent lateral moves
Prior experience in consultative or solution-based selling is strongly preferred over purely transactional or aggressive outbound sales backgrounds
Experience selling services or human-powered solutions (not just software) is a strong advantage
Communication & Executive Presence
Strong English proficiency is required—both written and spoken—at a level sufficient for daily high-quality discovery calls and presentations with U.S.-based C-level and Director-level prospects
Ability to articulate complex value propositions clearly, concisely, and persuasively
Able to provide specific, evidence-based examples when discussing past performance and sales strategies—not just high-level generalizations
Interviews exceptionally well—demonstrates professionalism, preparation, and executive presence from the very first interaction
Technical Requirements
Strong with HubSpot, AI tools, and modern sales platforms, using technology to go faster
Comfortable leveraging CRM data to prioritize pipeline and inform strategy
Resourceful in creating your own workflows and approaches, not solely dependent on prescribed tools or sequences

Before You Apply — Ask Yourself
Do I have 2+ years of B2B sales experience selling to executive-level buyers in North America?
Have I sold services, outsourcing, or human-powered solutions (not just SaaS)?
Am I genuinely excited about a human-powered outsourcing model, not just looking for an AI product to sell?
Do I sell consultatively—diagnosing needs and building partnerships—rather than relying on transactional, high-pressure tactics?
Is my English proficiency strong enough for daily discovery calls with U.S.-based C-level executives?
Am I genuinely curious about this specific role and product, or am I just looking for any AE position?
Do I have a track record of tenure stability, or can I clearly explain my career transitions?
Can I provide specific, evidence-based examples of my sales achievements—not just generalizations?
Am I resourceful enough to create my own strategies, or do I depend on someone handing me sequences and scripts?
Do I have a professional home office setup with high-speed internet, a headset, and a quiet environment right now?
If you answered yes to all ten, we want to hear from you. If you answered “maybe” or “I’ll figure it out” to any of them, the timing might not be right yet, and that’s okay.
