Checkr Trust is not a typical sales role. It’s a chance to help build an entirely new business inside a category-defining company.
Checkr Trust is accelerating solutions into various verticals that detect bad actors prior to them impacting businesses. We have early traction, strong product-market pull, and the backing of Checkr — but we are still building the plane while flying it.
We are looking for a Senior Account Executive who wants:
This is not a “manage a book of inbound” job. This is a territory-building, market-educating, first-call-to-close ownership role. You will operate like a founder inside a startup — except you have the resources of an established company behind you.

More importantly:

Pay Transparency Disclosure
One of Checkr’s core values is Transparency. To live by that value, we’ve made the decision to disclose salary ranges in all of our job postings. We use geographic cost of labor as an input to develop ranges for our roles and as such, each location where we hire may have a different range. If this role is remote, we have listed the top to the bottom of the possible range, but we will specify the target range for an exact location when you are selected for a recruiting discussion. For more information on our compensation philosophy, see our website.
At Checkr, we believe a hybrid work environment strengthens collaboration, drives innovation, and encourages connection. Our hub locations are Denver, CO, San Francisco, CA, Nashville, TN, and Santiago, Chile. Individuals are expected to work from the office 3 days a week. In-office perks are provided, such as lunch five times a week, a commuter stipend, and an abundance of snacks and beverages. A relocation stipend may be available for those willing to relocate to a Checkr hub location.
