About the Company
Our partner is building the first AI-driven go-to-market marketplace serving finance and accounting leaders. The company has raised $3.5M, is cash-flow positive, and is on track to triple revenue this year. It is a lean, fast-moving team of around a dozen people with strong fundamentals and real momentum.
The Opportunity
As the Founding Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle, from working inbound leads through to close. The role is primarily about taking sales calls and closing deals, with some top-of-funnel work and upselling. You will report directly to the founder and play a defining role in shaping how the company sells.
This is a high-ownership seat for someone hungry and ambitious who wants to grow into a leader as the organization scales. You will be selling to finance and accounting leaders, so polish, sharpness, and the ability to speak credibly with that audience matter.

Requirements
