The Opportunity

This is the company's second Account Executive and a true founding sales role. You will drive outbound prospecting, generate leads at industry events, and run full sales cycles from opportunity to close, with deal sizes ranging from roughly $144K to $500K per year and 4-5 month cycles typical of selling into public infrastructure, universities, and health systems. Beyond closing, you will help build the go-to-market function itself, shaping content, sales collateral, and target-market strategy. You will receive the same strong distribution of inbound and referral opportunities as the current rep, with clear upside toward becoming a top performer and a path to sales leadership.

This role suits someone with a gritty startup mentality who wants ownership over process, not just a list of accounts to work.
