Full Job Description
Tasks

We're seeking an exceptional Founding Account Executive to help launch our New York office:

  • Own a greenfield territory end-to-end. You manage every deal from outbound to close - prospecting, discovery, demo, negotiation - with no hand-offs and full accountability.
  • Work inbound and outbound deals. We build a strong inbound engine (LinkedIn, Ads, Podcast, AEO, Events), but require you to self-source many deals as well based on warm signals, events, partners, and more.
  • Self-source 50% of your pipeline. Continuously refine outbound messaging and prospecting strategies that you can eventually share with the team and scale across the org.
  • Run genuinely great demos. Especially with technical stakeholders - RevOps, Salesforce admins - who can sniff out a shallow pitch from a mile away.
  • Build relationships that compound. Understand your customers' business goals deeply enough to become a trusted advisor, not just a vendor. Retention starts in the sales cycle.
  • Develop precise account plans. Map decision-makers, buying processes, current tech investments, regional nuances, and new revenue opportunities for every account you work.
  • Educate and evangelize. Engage senior executives - CROs, VPs of Sales, RevOps leaders - on the emerging Revenue Intelligence category and why Weflow is the right bet.
  • Help us build the machine. As a founding AE, your feedback shapes our ICP definition, messaging, and hiring - a genuine seat at the table.


Requirements

Requirements

  • 5+ years closing complex SaaS deals with Mid-Market and Enterprise clients who know what multi-threaded looks like and how to run it
  • Consistent track record of overachieving a $1M+ quota and closing six-figure deals ($100K+) in long-cycle, high-scrutiny sales processes (9+ months)
  • Comfortable and credible selling to C-Suite, CROs, and RevOps leaders inside large organizations (1,000+ employees). You don't get intimidated by a room full of VPs
  • True hunter. You've broken into new categories, opened new logos, and you'd rather build pipeline than work warm leads
  • MEDDPICC practitioner (or equivalent). You use a methodology because it makes you better, not because your manager told you to
  • Proven experience selling SaaS or enterprise software in competitive, high-stakes environments
  • Exceptional communicator. You can take a technically complex product and make a CRO care about it in under five minutes
  • Experience selling to RevOps or Sales leaders is a strong plus
  • Familiarity with revenue intelligence or sales execution tools (Gong, Clari, or similar) is a plus. Weflow experience is a bonus


Benefits

  • Real PMF, real traction. 300+ customers are renewing, expanding, and referring. You'll walk into deals with proof points.
  • Earning potential that actually means something. Uncapped commission, an accelerator above quota, and equity priced at a moment where the upside is still very real.
  • Inbound that works for you. The largest RevOps podcast, LinkedIn profile, community, and newsletter in the industry paired with ads and AEO.
  • Category moment. Revenue AI is the fastest-moving layer in the GTM stack right now. You're not selling into a crowded market with ten established players. You're defining the category alongside us.
  • The best tools, no questions asked. Top-of-the-line equipment and the full sales tech stack from day one. No fighting for licenses, no clunky workarounds.
  • A career inflection point. Founding AE roles at companies with real traction don't come around often. The reps who join early and win become VPs, RVPs, and CROs.
  • A team that takes sales seriously. Founded by repeat entrepreneurs who've scaled and exited before. You'll have executive air cover, a sharp product team that ships fast, and colleagues who respect the craft.


If you're passionate about AI and want to sell a product you'd genuinely recommend to your peers, we'd love to hear from you.
