Full Job Description
About the Role

We're launching into a new vertical, and we're hiring our founding Account Executive to lead the charge. This is a 0-to-1 role - not just closing deals, but helping build the playbook from scratch as we break into a brand-new market for the first time. You'll join a high-performing sales org and work closely with senior leadership to establish our presence in this new vertical.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in early-market ambiguity, wants real ownership, and is excited to help shape how we sell into a new segment. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where execution, curiosity, and grit matter.
What You'll Do
  • Own the full sales cycle: qualify, discover, and close new SMB customers in the new vertical
  • Proactively prospect and engage dental practices to drive new client acquisition
  • Serve as a founding voice in shaping the sales motion, messaging, positioning, and processes for this vertical
  • Build and iterate on the playbook in real time - what you figure out becomes the foundation for every AE who comes next
  • Consistently track activity, pipeline, and performance in Salesforce, and help define what "good" looks like in the data
  • Become a student of dentistry and an expert in the product and value proposition
  • Partner closely with senior sales leadership to hit revenue targets and refine KPIs
  • Feed learnings back into product, marketing, and GTM strategy - you're on the front lines and your voice will shape the roadmap
  • Operate with urgency, accountability, and a bias toward action in a fast-moving environment
What We're Looking For
  • 4+ years of sales experience, with 2+ years owning a full-cycle closing role
  • Experience launching a new vertical, new market, or new product - you've been the first or among the first AEs in a seat before and know what it takes to build from nothing
  • Experience in a high-growth startup or scaling environment strongly preferred
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity with limited structure and resources - you write the playbook as you go
  • Strong organizational skills and disciplined pipeline management
  • High proficiency with Salesforce or similar CRMs
  • Demonstrated track record of professional success
Bonus Points For
  • Experience building a founding sales motion at an early-stage company or newly-acquired business unit
  • Background in healthcare, dental, or adjacent verticals
  • Outstanding professional references to share
  • Love of blitz growth environments
  • Relentlessly positive attitude, strong sense of humor, and the ability to have fun at work
