25,635 active roles, straight from company career pages.
Not all sales jobs are the same, and if you have spent any time in the field you already know that the gap between a pipeline-generation role and a quota-carrying closing role is enormous. JobFerret currently lists 25,635 active sales positions, spanning the full arc from SDR and BDR outbound work through account executive ownership and into the longer-cycle world of account management and renewals. Whether you are early in your career and building prospecting muscle or you are a seasoned AE looking for a bigger territory, those roles live in very different parts of a sales org and require a very different pitch when you apply.
The SDR and BDR layer is where pipeline is born. These roles are measured on activities, meetings booked and qualified opportunities passed, not on closed revenue. If you thrive on outbound sequences, cold calls and the discipline of a structured cadence, this is your lane. Account executives sit one step downstream: they own the full sales cycle, carry a number and are judged on what actually closes. Account management and customer success-adjacent roles shift the focus again, from hunting to expanding and retaining existing revenue. Understanding which motion you are being hired for before you apply saves everyone time and signals genuine commercial awareness to a hiring manager.
Among the companies actively hiring across these roles right now, Alo Yoga leads with 301 open positions, followed by HM Group at 186, EquipmentShare at 175, Datadog at 157, Zscaler at 135 and MongoDB at 102. That mix tells a story: consumer retail, industrial equipment and enterprise SaaS are all competing for sales talent simultaneously, which means your transferable skills in discovery, objection handling and pipeline management travel further than you might expect.
Among listings with a stated location, Remote tops the list with 97 postings, followed by United States broadly at 78, London at 49, Tokyo at 43 and New York City at 41. With 21% of listed roles flagged as remote, there is real flexibility here, though the majority of positions still expect you to be somewhere specific, whether that is a regional office or a defined sales territory.
One thing that sets JobFerret apart for sales candidates is the direct-apply model. Sales hiring moves fast: a strong AE candidate who sits in a multi-step application portal while a recruiter waits for a platform to forward their details often loses ground to someone who got their resume in front of a hiring manager the same day. Every listing on JobFerret links you straight to the employer's own application, cutting out the middleman and putting you in control of your timing.
The titles are often used interchangeably, but in many organisations an SDR (Sales Development Representative) focuses on inbound lead qualification while a BDR (Business Development Representative) is primarily outbound, prospecting into new accounts. Always read the job description carefully to understand which motion the company expects.
Account executives are typically measured on new or expansion revenue closed within a period. Account managers focus on retaining and growing existing customer relationships, often through renewals and upsells. The skills overlap, but the day-to-day priorities and the way performance is measured are quite different.
Sales teams move quickly and hiring managers often interview on a rolling basis, closing a role as soon as the right candidate appears. Applying directly through the employer's own system means your application arrives without delay and you stay in full control of your follow-up.
