JOB FAMILY SUMMARY: 

The ClassPass International team is responsible for growing and strengthening our partner ecosystem across global markets. This includes acquiring high-quality new fitness, wellness, and experiential partners, as well as nurturing and expanding relationships with existing partners. Through a combination of market expertise, strong local relationships, and strategic sales and account management, the team ensures we deliver exceptional value to our members and long-term success for our partners. 

JOB SUMMARY: 

The Field Account Executive is responsible for acquiring high-value net new fitness, wellness or new vertical partners for the ClassPass platform within their assigned market, as well as their broader region as defined. They are embedded within their markets, building strong fitness-wellness industry relationships and being the first to know where the best local studios and spas are, including those newly opened.  

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS: 

• 1-2 years of sales experience primarily focused on fast-paced, B2B transactional sales leveraging both Field and Inside sales tactics 

• Proven sales record of consistent over-performance on monthly quotas and OKRs 

• Familiarity with and/or professional connections within the local fitness, wellness or other applicable industry in your region are a plus 

• Proficiency with Salesforce, Salesloft and Microsoft Suite 

• Based in Abu Dhabi, with travel across the broader region. 

• Fluent in Arabic and English. 

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Engage directly with fitness, wellness or new vertical partners within your assigned area to grow the book of business  

• Consistently hit or exceed monthly quotas based on new venues added to the ClassPass network 

• Lead with a field-first mindset, prioritising in-person outreach through drop-ins, meetings, and events; selectively apply Inside Sales tactics where appropriate to accelerate pipeline momentum. 

• Identify and attend networking opportunities to build strong connections within your regional fitness and wellness community 

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in Salesforce, ensuring reliable forecasting and pipeline visibility. 

• Should be a good negotiator and comfortable in presenting higher-level readouts/pitch decks to prospective new partners 

• Tip of the Spear: Lead the deployment of WorkOS in the field. You will be responsible for understanding a customer's operational "chaos" and architecting an AI-driven solution that fixes it in weeks, not months.
• Rapid-Fire Execution: Build, iterate, and ship. You will write high-quality, full-stack code to create bespoke integrations and augment our platform’s core capabilities and create custom agents. This goes beyond context engineering; you’ll build the connective tissue - integrating bespoke APIs, setting up RAGs and Evals, tuning the E2E system and performance, and architecting multi-agent handoffs.
• Feedback Loop Mastery: You are the eyes and ears of the product team. You will translate field-tested insights into core product requirements, ensuring WorkOS remains grounded in real-world utility.
• Winning Stakeholders: Act as the technical face of WorkOS. You’ll need to win the trust of stakeholders, navigate complex enterprise hierarchies, and persuade skeptics by shipping results that speak for themselves.
• Technical Versatility: One day you’re setting up a RAG pipeline; the next, you’re debugging a legacy enterprise API or designing a custom dashboard. You do whatever is necessary to make the solution land.

• 5–8+ years of high-octane engineering experience. You are likely a senior-level engineer who is "hungrier" than your peers and bored by traditional, slow-moving dev cycles.
• The FDE Pedigree: Experience in forward-deployed, mission-driven environments (e.g., Palantir, high-growth startups, or specialized consultancy) where you worked directly with customers.
• Full-Stack Polyglot: Mastery of the modern stack (React/TS, Python/Node) with the ability to jump into any codebase and be productive on day one.
• AI Fluidity: Strong working knowledge of LLMs, prompt engineering, and agentic frameworks. You don't just know the theory; you know how to make AI work in production.
• Excellent Communication: You are a "social engineer." You can explain complex AI logic to a CEO and then pivot to a deep-dive session with an infrastructure lead without missing a beat.
• Relentless Bias for Action: You are a builder who values shipping over perfection. You have a "founder-level" sense of ownership and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
• Willingness to work on-site full time in UAE, with occasional travel to be embedded with regional partners.

• A Blank Canvas and Live Ammunition: The rare opportunity to build a "0-to-1" product while immediately deploying it into the real-world operations of a regional giant. No "sandbox" projects here, you’ll be shipping code that moves people and goods on day one. This is a huge opportunity to create impact in our region.
• A Special Ops Mission: We’re a lean, impact-obsessed team operating with total autonomy. You’ll be free from corporate bureaucracy and legacy baggage, focused entirely on winning the customer and solving "unsolvable" problems.
• Direct Collaboration with Leadership: Direct engagement with Careem and enterprise client leadership, in addition to working side-by-side with the WorkOS founding team including Magnus Olsson (Careem’s original Co-founder).
