Founding Account Executive

ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage AI communications software team to lead its US go-to-market efforts. You will win initial customers, establish a repeatable sales motion, and work closely with company leadership and cross-functional colleagues as the business expands internationally.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop localized landing pages, messaging, and basic tracking for the US market with marketing support.
- Run discovery calls and product demonstrations, and close early customer deals.
- Turn market feedback into a repeatable sales process and playbook.
- Identify and activate local partners, including enabling co-selling.
- Onboard and support early customers, capturing feedback to improve the product and positioning.
- Collaborate with leadership and marketing and technical teams to launch and iterate quickly.
- Grow into the primary US market owner, with the potential to hire and lead a local team.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Native English fluency and experience selling in the US and UK markets.
- Account Executive experience, with a record of startup or transactional sales rather than an exclusively enterprise sales background.
- Experience building and executing early-stage SaaS go-to-market efforts, including discovery, demos, closing, and repeatable sales processes.
- Background as a founder or operator, or strong experience in sales, business development, partnerships, or growth at a high-growth SaaS startup.
- Experience developing partner channels and co-selling programs, and onboarding and supporting customers.
- Familiarity with CRM tools such as Salesforce or HubSpot and sales funnel analytics.
- Experience with AI or SaaS solutions for small and midsize businesses, ideally in AI-powered communications.
- Comfort working across sales, marketing, product, and engineering, with a hands-on, self-directed approach.
- Willingness to work on-site in Vienna for 3 to 6 months for onboarding and kickoff. A relocation or remote setup may be possible afterward.
