Full-time | In-Person - New York City
Salary range: $120K - 150k OTE (100% OTE guaranteed for first 2 months). OTE is split 70/30 base and commission, with
uncapped upside for over-performance. You will also receive an equity grant.
This role is designed for sellers who want to bet on themselves-exceptional performance (200%+ of quota) is meaningfully rewarded, and top performers can materially outperform their stated OTE.
Job DescriptionWe're looking for an Account Executive that
knows they can sell. That may be because you've been a closing AE before, or you have applicable experience from your previous role.
The best AEs know and run the full sales cycle. We give our AEs latitude to run deals their way, with support where it meaningfully helps close.
We're looking for someone highly driven, because the opportunity in EdTech is very much greenfield. We don't face the same saturation you may find in FinTech or Martech, and you also have the benefit of working with a less technical product. In return, we expect intensity, ownership, and a bias toward action-and we back high performers with real autonomy and upside. Get those deals, and you'll be commensurately rewarded.
If you're sick of feeling like there's a limit to how good you can become in your career, we want to hear from you. This role is not a fit if you prefer a highly structured, mature sales org with rigid playbooks and narrowly defined responsibilities.
What you'll do- Own the full-cycle sales process: prospect, run discovery, run demos, and close deals
- Manage pipeline with precision and consistently hit/exceed SMB quotas
- Collaborate with our BDRs to progress qualified leads while also sourcing your own opportunities directly
- Build strong relationships with school leaders and technology administrators
- Provide disciplined, detail oriented feedback from the field to improve Flint's messaging, GTM strategy, and product development
- Help establish Flint's NYC sales culture and playbook as one of our first closing reps
Career Growth & TrajectoryThis role is designed to be a launchpad for rapid career advancement. There's a lot to do between
1 → 10, and we want to take you along for the ride.
- Upward mobility: High performers who consistently exceed quota will have a clear path to Mid-Market or Enterprise roles as the team scales
- Founding impact: Shape our SMB motion and influence how Flint continues to build its sales engine
- Exposure: Direct visibility into every part of our business
- Momentum: Flint is scaling fast, and you'll be part of the team that takes us from $XM to $10M+ ARR
