Role overviewWe're hiring an Account Executive to own and close deals across the markets PistonPay serves, including fleets and fuel station networks. You'll carry opportunities from first demo through signed contract, working shoulder-to-shoulder with our founders, SDRs, and marketing team to build and close pipeline, sharpen our pitch, and define how we sell.
Key Responsibilities- Own the full sales cycle for your prospects, from discovery call and demo through negotiation and close.
- Run a high-volume, high-quality outbound motion alongside your SDRs, including direct prospecting when needed (100+ calls per day).
- Build relationships with operators, owners, and decision-makers that generate referrals and expansion opportunities over time.
- Partner with marketing on campaign development, messaging testing, and ongoing refinement of our ideal customer profile.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in Salesforce and Outreach, and bring a clear point of view on what's working and what isn't.
- Travel occasionally for 2-3 day trips to support in-market pushes and events.

- You are a trusted partner to marketing and SDRs, actively shaping campaigns and ICP refinement.
- You have helped document or improve our sales playbook.
Qualifications & RequirementsMust-have:- A genuine desire to build a long-term career in sales. This is a builder's role, not a corporate seat.

- Comfort operating at high intensity in short, focused windows and thriving under competitive pressure.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with SDRs, marketing, and leadership.
- Coachable, competitive, and energized by building something from the ground up.

- Competitive athletics or sports background.
- Immersive, high-discipline experience such as a religious mission, military service, or similar.
- Curiosity about or prior exposure to fintech, payments, or trucking/logistics.
- Familiarity with Salesforce, Outreach, Slack, or G-Suite.
Reporting StructureThis role reports to Sales Leadership, with close day-to-day collaboration alongside our SDRs, fellow Account Executives, and Marketing team. You'll have direct input into how the AE function is structured and run as we scale.
Compensation & Benefits- $75,000 to $100,000 OTE
- Meaningful early-stage equity
- Medical insurance
- All hardware and software needed to do your best work
- A front-row seat to building a category-defining payments company from its earliest days
Working ConditionsThis is a full-time, on-site role based in our Lehi, Utah office, five days per week.

Occasional travel is required to support market pushes and events.
