Account Executive
Description
About the Role
Join a team working at the intersection of startup wind-downs and data licensing for AI. You will guide founders through wind-down deals while helping acquire datasets that can support the development of AI models.
What You'll Do
Manage the full sales cycle with founders winding down their startups, including closing wind-down deals and acquiring company datasets for AI training.
Build at least 25% of your pipeline through outbound prospecting and identify companies showing signs of distress.
Negotiate data pricing and legal terms, and assess when a deal is not a fit.
Adapt and improve the sales playbook as you learn what works in this emerging category.
Work toward acquiring 10 or more datasets per month while maintaining a 40% or higher close rate on qualified deals.
What We're Looking For
Two to four or more years of client-facing sales, consulting, investment banking, or partnerships experience, preferably at early-stage startups.
A demonstrated record of meeting or exceeding quota and building outbound pipeline, not only managing inbound leads.
Recent, active work experience and at least one role lasting longer than a year.
Experience with data licensing, data sourcing, or data sales is relevant.
Familiarity with Salesforce or HubSpot, sales engagement tools, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and AI prospecting tools.
Comfort working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment and handling sensitive conversations with empathy and sound judgment.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $125,000 to $150,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
