ABOUT THE ROLE

This is the first Account Executive position at an early-stage AI startup, meaning you will own the full sales cycle and play a direct role in shaping go-to-market strategy alongside the founding team.

Partner with founders to refine the ideal customer profile, test messaging, and build the foundational sales playbook.
Serve as the voice of the customer by translating prospect pain points into actionable insights for Product and Engineering.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

5+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience with a proven track record closing complex enterprise deals.
Strong hunter mentality with demonstrated success generating leads and building pipeline independently.
Experience managing multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles involving C-suite and procurement teams.
Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments with minimal structure or support.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the grit to figure things out on the fly.
Experience selling into HR, Finance, or AI domains is a strong plus.
Background in building or refining sales playbooks and ICP frameworks is a plus.
Must be authorized to work in the United States; visa sponsorship is not available.
