    About AutoTime

    AutoTime Software is a trusted leader in Aerospace & Defense workforce compliance solutions, delivering timekeeping, labor tracking, and payroll accuracy software trusted by top-tier A&D contractors for over 20 years.

    Now part of Solen's growing software portfolio, AutoTime is in an exciting transformation phase — scaling its next-generation software platform and expanding partnerships across ERP, MES, and payroll ecosystems.

    This is a high-impact role for a true account executive — someone who can connect customer need with consultative selling to drive growth in a growing industry.

    Role Summary

    The Account Executive is responsible for driving new business and expanding relationships with customers in aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing. This role requires a consultative seller who can understand complex operational, compliance, financial, and workflow challenges and position AutoTime as a strategic partner.

    This position is ideal for someone who not only excels at closing business, but also wants to help shape go-to-market strategy, improve customer outcomes, and contribute to the long-term growth of the company.

    Responsibilities

    • Prospect, qualify, and close new business opportunities within target markets.
    • Build and manage a healthy pipeline through outbound outreach, networking, referrals, and marketing collaboration.
    • Lead discovery conversations to understand customer needs around labor tracking, compliance, costing, workflow automation, and operational performance.
    • Partner with the Product and Services team to deliver tailored product demonstrations and articulate AutoTime's value proposition to executive, operational, finance, and technical stakeholders.
    • Navigate multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving operations, finance, IT, compliance, and program management teams.
    • Prepare and present proposals, pricing, and business cases.
    • Collaborate closely with marketing, product, services, and leadership teams to ensure strong customer outcomes.
    • Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline management in the CRM.
    • Track market trends, competitive activity, and customer feedback, and translate insights into actionable recommendations.
    • Help refine messaging, sales process, pricing strategy, and account planning practices as the business scales. **

    • 5+ years of experience in B2B software, enterprise software, or complex solution sales.

    • Strong ability to communicate value to both technical and business audiences.
    • Comfort selling into long sales cycles with multiple decision-makers.
    • Excellent presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
    • Strong commercial judgment and the ability to balance growth, customer needs, and operational realities.
    • Track record of working cross-functionally with marketing, product, operations, implementation, or customer success.
    • Ability to operate with high ownership, accountability, and resourcefulness in a scaling organization.

    Preferred Experience
    • Familiarity with timekeeping, labor tracking, compliance, ERP, or MES software.
    • Experience selling into government contractors or organizations with DCAA-related requirements.
    • Understanding of 9/80 schedules, shift-based labor, project costing, or audit-ready timekeeping workflows.
    • Experience contributing to sales process design, pricing discussions, territory planning, or revenue forecasting.
    • Exposure to account expansion, renewals, or customer retention strategy.
    • Interest in broader business leadership, including go-to-market execution, operational improvement, and strategic planning.

    Success Metrics
    • Qualified opportunities created.
    • Closed-won revenue.
    • Forecast accuracy.
    • Conversion rates across stages of the sales cycle.
    • Contribution to improved sales process, customer retention, and cross-functional execution.

    What We're Not Looking For

    Let's save everyone time — this is not the right fit if you:

    • Focus primarily on IT, system configuration, or implementation consulting.
    • Have limited engagement with Aerospace and Defense companies.
    • Default to buzzwords instead of clear sales outcomes.
    • Have experience that's mostly internal or pre-sales
    • Lack experience in selling large enterprise contracts in a regulated space.

    Career Path & Growth

    This role is positioned for advancement into VP, COO, or General Manager roles within Solen's expanding A&D software portfolio.
    Top performers will help lead AutoTime's evolution from a legacy compliance platform into a next-generation software leader.
