Job Description

About the Role

As the first Account Executive at an early-stage AI/ML company, you will build the sales motion from the ground up. You will own revenue generation from pipeline creation through closing, working directly with the founder to move from founder-led sales to a repeatable process.

What You'll Do

  • Generate pipeline through outbound prospecting and cold outreach, without SDR support or relying on inbound leads.

  • Reach prospective customers and lead substantive sales conversations.

  • Manage deals end to end, from discovery through negotiation and contract signature.

  • Partner with the founder to define the ideal customer profile, messaging, and sales playbook.

  • Close revenue and establish a foundation for a scalable sales process.

What We're Looking For

  • At least one year of experience in account executive, sales development, or enterprise sales roles.

  • Experience in B2B SaaS, with a track record of generating and managing outbound pipeline and closing deals independently.

  • Experience owning the full sales cycle and being accountable for revenue targets.</
