About the Role
This is a founding Account Executive position at an early-stage AI startup operating in the HR technology space.

Your results will have a direct and visible impact on company revenue and growth trajectory.
What You'll Do

- Act as your own SDR by researching target accounts and executing outbound campaigns to build enterprise pipeline from scratch.
- Manage complex, multi-stakeholder deals involving HR leaders, CFOs, and IT procurement teams.
- Partner with founders to refine the ideal customer profile, sharpen messaging, and build out the foundational sales playbook.
- Serve as the voice of the customer, translating 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.
- Demonstrated success generating pipeline from scratch with a true hunter-and-closer mentality.
- Experience managing multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles involving C-suite and procurement teams.
- Comfort operating independently in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments without established infrastructure.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the grit to problem-solve on the fly.
- Background selling into HR technology, Finance, AI, compensation, or closely adjacent enterprise software is a strong plus.
