Founding Account Executive – Technical SaaS | NYC (In-Office, High-Upside Role)

New York, NY
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    We’re representing a venture-backed SaaS company with real product-market fit and a deeply technical offering in the B2C martech space. The business has hundreds of paying customers, strong recurring revenue, and a lean, proven team that’s now hiring its first sales hire to unlock the next phase of growth.

    This is a foundational sales role for a smart, technical, and hungry Account Executive ready to own pipeline, close meaningful deals, and build alongside a high-velocity product team. You’ll be joining post-traction, pre-scale—when the upside is real and the work is high impact.

    What You’ll Own
    • Run full-cycle sales across SMB and Mid-Market segments: outbound, inbound, demos, close

    • Lead deeply consultative discovery calls with both marketing and technical stakeholders

    • Deliver high-impact product demos with technical fluency

    • Influence GTM strategy, sales motion, and early process as the first AE

    • Collaborate directly with founders, engineers, and early customers

    • Act as a domain expert—learning and solving complex problems, not just pitching features

    What We’re Looking For
    • 2–5 years in a quota-carrying AE role at a SaaS company

    • Experience selling technical software (martech, analytics, data tools, APIs, or similar)

    • Proven success in SMB/Mid-Market sales motions

    • Strong discovery, objection handling, and technical demo skills

    • Bachelor’s degree in a technical or quantitative field preferred

    • Based in NYC or willing to relocate; this is a fully in-office role

    • You’re not looking to manage a team yet—you want to close deals and build your name

    Compensation & Benefits
    • Base Salary: $115K–$125K

    • OTE: $175K–$245K+ (uncapped, with aggressive accelerators post-quota)

    • Equity: Significant early-stage grant—founding AE level

    • Commission Plan: Quota is highly attainable, with top-tier upside for overperformance

    • Work Schedule: Monday–Thursday: 8am–9pm, Friday: 8am–6pm (NYC, Hudson Square)

    • Visibility: Work directly with the founding team and shape the revenue engine

    • Trajectory: Path to leadership as the team grows—based on success, not tenure

    What This Role Is Not
    • This is not a lifestyle sales role—it's a high-commitment, high-reward opportunity

    • Not a fit for candidates focused on people management or team-building out of the gate

    • Not for generalists—this role requires curiosity, technical rigor, and ownership

    Interview Process
    • Step 1: Intro call — motivations, background, performance highlights

    • Step 2: Culture interview — past behavior and track record (topgrading)

    • Step 3: Case interview — mock discovery, technical objection handling, demo fluency

    If you're looking for a career-defining role where your input matters, your results are rewarded, and your impact is visible every single day—this is it.
