Enterprise Account Executive

About the role

We're looking for an Enterprise Account Executive with a self-starter mindset and a builder's mentality to join our GTM Sales Team.

Responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle. Manage enterprise accounts end to end, from self-sourced lead generation and qualification through negotiation, closing, and renewals.
• Generate pipeline from ICP accounts through value-driven outbounding: research, networking, and disciplined prospecting that open new enterprise relationships and expand deployment capacity.
• Negotiate and close complex deals. Lead negotiations, handle objections, and move contracts forward quickly and effectively, partnering closely with legal and finance stakeholders.
• Manage executive relationships. Build and maintain trusted relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders, including C-suite executives. Serve as their primary point of contact, drive measurable ROI, and turn deals into long-term partnerships.
• Develop a sales strategy. Build and execute account strategies to meet or exceed targets. Craft tailored presentations and proposals that map Tavus's capabilities to each customer's business goals, and partner with Marketing on campaigns that convert.
• Help define our sales motion. We're an early team, so your work will directly shape how our GTM function operates, iterates, and wins.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Work closely with Solutions Engineering, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to ensure customers succeed and to feed real-world signals back into our roadmap.
• Leverage the executive team. Bring in our leadership to accelerate deal cycles and secure buy-in from top-level client decision-makers.
• Represent Tavus at industry events. Be the face of the company at various in-person events to help build the brand and drive top-of-funnel.

Requirements

• 4+ years in an enterprise, customer-facing sales role, with a strong track record of identifying and closing large, net-new accounts.
• Experience in complex solution sales, including managing a $1M+ quota and consistently closing six- and seven-figure deals.
• Consistent performance against pipeline-generation targets for net-new business.
• Prominent prospecting and lead-generation skills: research, networking, and outbound that reliably build enterprise pipeline.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
• An analytical mindset able to read market trends, spot opportunities, and make data-driven decisions.

Better if you have

• Experience selling Conversational AI.
• Experience as an early sales hire at a fast-growing startup, including building GTM strategies, sales teams, and sales motions from scratch or from early-stage growth.
• Familiarity with the AI landscape, the key players, the emerging trends, and where the category is headed.
