Founding Account Executive (B2B SaaS | Early-Stage)

Location: Hybrid (1–2 days/week in office)

Type: Full-Time

Comp: Base + Uncapped Commission


The Opportunity

We’re partnering with an early-stage B2B SaaS company building a modern platform that helps technical and product-led organizations operate more effectively using workflow intelligence, real usage data, and AI-driven insights.

This is a founding sales hire — a true ground-floor role for someone who wants ownership, influence, and upside. You’ll help define the go-to-market motion while owning revenue end-to-end.


What You’ll Do

Build & Close Revenue

  • Generate pipeline through outbound and inbound efforts
  • Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, discovery, demos, negotiation, and close
  • Consistently hit and exceed quarterly revenue targets


Sell to Technical & Executive Buyers

  • Run discovery with engineering, product, and executive stakeholders
  • Translate technical workflows into clear business value and ROI
  • Navigate multi-stakeholder, mid-market and enterprise sales cycles


Help Shape the GTM Playbook

  • Refine ICP, personas, pricing assumptions, and deal structure
  • Provide direct market feedback to product and leadership
  • Build early sales processes that can scale


Operate Like an Owner

  • Maintain clean forecasting and pipeline hygiene in CRM
  • Identify gaps, test solutions, and execute independently
  • Support hiring and onboarding of future sales talent as the team grows


Who You Are

  • 3–7+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience
  • Proven full-cycle closer (outbound + inbound)
  • Comfortable selling technical or data-driven products
  • Experience with mid-market and/or enterprise buyers
  • Thrives in early-stage, fast-moving environments
  • Willing to be in the office 1–2 days per week for collaboration


Why This Role Stands Out

  • True founding AE seat with real influence
  • Direct access to leadership and product teams
  • Ability to shape comp plans, sales motion, and future hires
  • Clear path to senior sales leadership
  • Equity tied to long-term value creation


Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary
  • Uncapped commission with accelerators
  • Hybrid work environment
  • Early-stage upside with ownership
