Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Our Hiring Partner is building the next generation of AI-powered solutions for legal, compliance, and regulatory workflows, and they're looking for 2-3 Founding Account Executives to join their team in New York City.

What You'll Be Doing:
Owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close
Building pipeline through outbound, networking, events, and creative GTM initiatives
Experimenting across enterprise and mid-market customer segments
Partnering directly with Founders on sales strategy and market feedback
Helping create the playbook that future sales hires will follow
What We're Looking For:
3-6 years of B2B SaaS sales experience
At least 1 year as a full-cycle AE at a high-growth or early-stage startup
Proven history of exceeding quota (150%+ attainment preferred)
Strong outbound prospecting and hunting mentality
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building from zero-to-one
Demonstrated drive through rapid promotions, entrepreneurship, athletics, academics, or other high-achievement environments
Bonus Points For: Experience selling into regulated industries or life sciences
Technical or engineering background
Previous founding or early GTM experience
0.1%-0.5% Equity
