About the Role

A fast-growing, early-stage B2B SaaS company building an AI-native pricing optimization platform is looking for a Founding Enterprise Account Executive to own and scale enterprise sales from the ground up. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team to define GTM strategy, build repeatable playbooks, and land high-ACV enterprise customers β€” deals that will directly shape both product direction and commercial trajectory.

This is a rare opportunity to be the first enterprise sales hire at a company with a differentiated product in a high-value, underserved category. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building, and want your fingerprints on every aspect of a growing sales org, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full enterprise sales cycle β€” from self-sourced prospecting through discovery, negotiation, and close.

  • Run consultative discovery with senior economic buyers including CFOs, CROs, CPOs, and Heads of Monetization.

  • Carry and accurately forecast an ambitious revenue target while maintaining week-to-week pipeline health.

  • Design, document, and iterate the enterprise playbook covering outreach, qualification, deal structure, commercial terms, and close mechanics.

  • Partner directly with founders on GTM strategy, ICP refinement, and positioning β€” feeding market insight back into product and sales.

  • Establish CRM discipline and operating rhythms for pipeline hygiene, prioritization, and clean forecasting.

  • Sell AI-natively by leveraging and improving AI agents and workflows to automate repeatable buyer-journey tasks, reserving human judgment for key deal moments.

  • Act as a trusted advisor to customers and deliver actionable feedback to product and engineering from live deals.

  • In your first 90 days: learn the product and ICP deeply, build pipeline through outbound and inbound, close initial deals end-to-end, and begin codifying a repeatable playbook.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • 5–8+ years of enterprise B2B tech sales experience with a proven track record of closing high-ACV deals end-to-end.

  • Demonstrated success self-sourcing pipeline and consistently carrying and exceeding revenue targets.

  • Strong experience running multi-stakeholder enterprise deals and building consensus up to the C-suite.

  • Proficiency with CRM and sales-engagement tooling (e.g., Salesforce, Gong) and experience building automations for repeatable sales tasks.

  • Comfort working with AI-driven workflows and directing AI tools in a sales context.

  • Strategic, analytical approach to market assessment paired with creative, tactical execution.

  • High tolerance for ambiguity and ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.

  • Professional fluency in English.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with pricing, monetization, CPQ, or billing solutions.

  • Background at a high-growth B2B SaaS or AI startup in a founding or early sales role.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $200,000 – $250,000 USD annually (on-target or base; please confirm with hiring team)

  • Early-stage equity opportunity

  • High-impact, high-ownership founding role with direct founder access
