Enterprise Account Executive (OEM + Enterprise Partnerships)Position OverviewEkho has two powerful go-to-market motions:
- Dealer - our dealer website + checkout platform that replaces incumbent dealer websites and powers end-to-end digital commerce (financing, titling/registration, KYC, insurance verification, fraud protection, signatures, etc.).
- Enterprise - our transaction engine and titling & registration automation infrastructure that enables compliant and dealer-aligned omnichannel commerce for OEMs, big box retailers, aggregators, and other enterprises that need licensure and back-office execution.
We're hiring an
Enterprise Account Executive to own and scale our
enterprise / OEM motion. This is a foundational hire: you'll take a massive pipeline that has formed organically (inbound from industry momentum, shows, partnerships, and founder-led selling) and turn it into a repeatable enterprise revenue engine.
This role is for someone who can run complex, multi-stakeholder deals end-to-end - and who can credibly speak
OEM language and dealer language. You'll sell into OEMs, enterprise retailers, distributors, and strategic partners - and you'll often need to navigate dealer-network incentives, margin structures, floorplan realities, and channel dynamics.
You'll work closely with our CEO (who currently runs these enterprise deals), our GTM engineer (automation + pipeline systems), and a small but growing sales + customer success team. Expect high autonomy, high accountability, and a huge surface area of strategic deal types.
Location: New York City (in-office). Heavy travel to OEMs, dealer groups, and industry events. We can support a short initial ramp period with travel + time in NYC, but this role is ultimately NYC-based.
