The Opportunity

This is a founding-stage Account Executive seat with an unusually clear path to earnings and growth. You will primarily take qualified demos and close deals, with the product doing a lot of the selling thanks to obvious ROI and very happy customers. As the company moves upmarket, you will have the opportunity to grow into larger, more complex deals and significantly higher earnings.

You will report directly to the go-to-market co-founder and work in a flat, fast-moving org where strong individual contributors are rewarded generously for winning.

  • Listen and stay current on the evolving product to sell slightly ahead of where it is
  • Bring customer feedback back to the product and engineering teams
Requirements
  • 1+ years of closing experience, ideally having sold deals around $50K ACV
  • Strong mid-market sales instincts with the ability to elevate into larger deals
  • Adaptability to sell a product that is still being built and rapidly improving
  • Gravitas and composure with senior, sophisticated buyers
  • Intellectual curiosity and the range to hold wide-ranging conversations
  • Bonus: experience selling into law firms or a similar industry, or a background of being promoted from SDR to AE at an early-stage company
