About the Role

This is a high-impact Account Executive opportunity for someone who wants to join an early-stage company with strong momentum and real demand in the market. You'll own a mix of inbound and self-sourced pipeline, work directly with leadership, and help shape the go-to-market motion as the team scales.

This is not a step-up role for someone coming directly from an SDR seat. The team is looking for a true closer who can operate in a fast-paced startup environment, present professionally to senior legal buyers, and thrive in a high-ownership culture.

  • Own full-cycle sales responsibilities from initial engagement through close
  • Manage a mix of inbound demand and outbound prospecting
  • Build pipeline through outbound channels, primarily LinkedIn and other targeted outreach
  • Run a polished, consultative sales process with legal and executive stakeholders
  • Partner closely with leadership and cross-functional teammates on feedback, messaging, and customer insights
  • Travel as needed for client meetings, conferences, and other in-person opportunities
  • Contribute to the development of the company's early sales playbook and go-to-market motion
Requirements
  • Prior Account Executive closing experience
  • Proven ability to manage and close deals in a B2B SaaS environment
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Ability to sell credibly and professionally to attorneys and law firm stakeholders
  • Experience in a fast-paced startup environment or strong sales training from a high-performing sales organization
  • Desire to work hard, move quickly, and take ownership in an early-stage setting
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in legal tech or selling into the legal market
  • Background at high-performing sales organizations such as PitchBook, Grafana, Gong, MongoDB, or similar
  • Strong track record of promotion and upward trajectory
  • Experience in earlier-stage startup environments
  • Comfortable balancing both closing and pipeline generation responsibilities
Location and Travel
  • Based in New York City
  • 5 days per week in office
  • Sporadic travel expected, likely around once per month depending on customer and company needs
  • Relocation support available
  • Visa sponsorship or transfer may be supported
Compensation and Benefits
  • $250,000+ OTE
  • Competitive compensation structure
  • Opportunity to join a fast-growing team early and take on meaningful ownership
