Job description
### About the Role A fast-growing, early-stage B2B SaaS company in the **AI-native pricing optimization** space is hiring its first Enterprise Account Executive. This is a founding role — you'll partner directly with the founders to build and own the enterprise sales motion from the ground up, shaping GTM strategy, creating repeatable playbooks, and closing high-ACV deals that directly influence both product direction and commercial success. The platform helps businesses transform pricing from a static exercise into a continuously improving, AI-driven system — spanning packaging design, willingness-to-pay analysis, deal quoting, discount governance, and more. ### What You'll Do - Own the full enterprise sales cycle end-to-end: self-sourced prospecting, discovery, negotiation, and close. - Run consultative discovery with senior pricing and growth stakeholders — CFOs, CROs, CPOs, and Heads of Monetization. - Carry and accurately forecast an ambitious revenue target while maintaining healthy pipeline week to week. - Design, document, and iterate the enterprise sales playbook: outreach, qualification, deal structure, commercial terms, and close mechanics. - Partner with founders on GTM strategy, ICP definition, and positioning; feed real market insight back into product and sales strategy. - Establish CRM discipline and a consistent operating rhythm for pipeline hygiene, prioritization, and forecasting. - Sell AI-natively — leverage AI agents and workflows to automate repeatable buyer-journey tasks while focusing human judgment on critical deal moments. - Act as a trusted advisor to customers and deliver actionable product feedback from live deals to engineering and product teams. - **First 90 days:** ramp on the product and ICP, build pipeline via 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 strong track record of closing high-ACV deals end-to-end. - Proven history of self-sourcing pipeline and consistently carrying and exceeding revenue targets. - Experience running multi-stakeholder enterprise deals and building consensus up to the C-level. - Proficiency with CRM and sales-engagement tooling (e.g., Salesforce, Gong) and building automations for repeatable sales tasks. - Comfort working with AI-driven workflows and directing AI tools in a sales context. - Strategic and analytical approach to market assessment paired with creative, tactical execution. - Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity startup environment. - Professional fluency in English. **Nice to Have:** - Experience with pricing, monetization, CPQ, or billing solutions. ### Compensation & Benefits - **Base salary range:** $200,000 – $250,000 USD annually (plus commission/variable; structure to be discussed) - Early-stage equity participation - **Visa sponsorship:** Not available ### Location - **Primary location:** San Francisco, CA, USA - **Work arrangement:** On-site
