Job description
About the Role
This is a rare founding sales opportunity at a seed-stage AI SaaS company that is transforming how global, regulated enterprises handle marketing and packaging content reviews. Manual approval workflows that once took a week are being replaced by AI agents that let teams launch in under an hour — without adding headcount.
As one of only two founding Account Executives, you will report directly to the CEO and founding team. You will own the full sales cycle and help write the go-to-market playbook from the ground up. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role for someone who wants to build, not just execute.
What You'll Do
Own the complete sales cycle: outbound prospecting, discovery, demos, negotiation, and close
Build and manage a pipeline of enterprise customers, with a focus on CPG brands and their marketing, creative, legal, and compliance teams
Convert pilots into long-term contracts in close collaboration with product and customer success
Tailor demos and conversations to reflect real customer workflows and measurable ROI
Test and iterate on outbound campaigns and messaging
Partner directly with the founding team to shape the sales playbook and overall go-to-market strategy
Represent the company at key customer meetings and targeted industry events (occasional travel required)
What We're Looking For
Required
7+ years of professional experience overall
Minimum 2 years average tenure across roles, with a clear track record of promotions and career progression
Experience in a full-cycle Account Executive role, ideally at an early-stage startup (strong candidates from CPG or regulated industries will also be considered)
Demonstrated ability to sell outcomes and ROI, not just features
Comfort with ambiguity; ability to take ownership and move fast without waiting for direction
Willingness to travel occasionally for customer meetings and industry events
Must be authorized to work in the US — visa sponsorship is not available
Bonus Points
Experience in law (JD or paralegal background), CPG, or an MBA
Prior experience selling into marketing, legal, or compliance personas
Track record closing $50K–$200K+ ACV deals involving multiple stakeholders
Familiarity with outbound tooling such as Apollo, Clay, or similar platforms
Compensation & Benefits
OTE: $140,000–$160,000 USD (base $70,000–$80,000 depending on experience, plus uncapped commission)
Meaningful early-stage equity
Hybrid work environment with WFH flexibility
Location
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA (Campbell / SF metro). This is a hybrid role with in-office presence expected and flexibility to work from home. Occasional travel required for customer meetings and industry events.
