Join an early-stage AI-focused HR technology company as its first Account Executive. You will own the sales cycle from prospecting through close and help shape the company's go-to-market approach.

What You'll Do

* Manage sales from outbound prospecting and discovery through product demonstrations, negotiation, and close.

* Research target accounts, run outbound campaigns, and build pipeline independently.

* Navigate sales cycles with HR leaders, finance executives, and IT procurement teams.

* Share customer needs and pain points with product and engineering teams.

What We're Looking For

* Evidence of pursuing sales through employment, internships, campus sales roles, SDR work, or self-directed outreach.

* Experience building pipeline or sales processes from scratch in a startup, small business, or similarly lean environment.

* A hunter mindset, strong communication skills, sound judgment, and comfort working independently in an ambiguous, fast-paced setting.

* Interest in or exposure to HR, finance, or AI is a plus. HR technology, direct sales, and enterprise deal experience are also helpful.

* Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
