About this role

Note: We are recruiting on behalf of our valued client. This opportunity is for a position with their organization, not with People Culture Talent. We're excited to help connect talented professionals with this exceptional team!

The Role

We're seeking one of our first Account Executives to manage the full sales cycle across enterprise and growth accounts. You'll play a key role in securing new customers and collaborating to build our sales playbook from scratch. This position is ideal for someone who brings a founder's mindset—taking initiative and influencing everything from sales strategy to product feedback. In our small, agile team, everyone takes on multiple roles, so we're looking for someone ready to make a substantial impact on the company's success and future direction.

What You’ll Own

  • Drive revenue growth by managing the entire sales cycle, from initial outreach to contract execution, across both enterprise and growth stage customers.

  • Create and optimize sales processes by developing scalable frameworks for discovery, qualification, technical validation, and procurement.

  • Lead technical conversations by engaging confidently with engineering leaders and technical stakeholders.

  • Cultivate internal champions by navigating complex buying committees and guiding opportunities through security, procurement, and approval processes.

  • Collaborate with leadership by partnering closely with founders and GTM leaders on account planning and strategic deal execution.

  • Shape product direction by serving as a critical voice of the customer, translating market feedback into actionable product insights.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of full-cycle B2B SaaS sales experience, including at least 2 years selling technical products to technical buyers

  • A proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding quota

  • AI fluency—you use AI tools regularly and can speak credibly with buyers building AI-powered products

  • Technically confident with integrations, APIs, OAuth, webhooks, and understanding architectural tradeoffs

  • Excellent communication skills and strong writing ability

  • Possess a builder's mentality—thriving in ambiguity and driven to develop the sales playbook from the ground up.

  • Vertical Fit:

    • GTM stack — HubSpot, CRM platforms, revenue tooling buyers

    • Fintech stack — payments infrastructure, Square ecosystem, ERP/fintech buyers

    Even Better If You:

    • Served as an early AE (one of the first 1–3) at a Seed or Series A company that scaled

    • Have a technical background, such as a CS degree, experience as a former SE, or have launched your own software project

    • Have built or shipped an AI workflow or agent

About Our Client
