About the role

This is a relationship-driven Senior Account Executive role, not a traditional SaaS sales seat. You will drive new client acquisition primarily through in-person networking, building relationships with founders, investors, and operators at dinners, events, and community gatherings. Deals come from warm relationships and referrals rather than cold sequences, and you will own the full arc from relationship to close, working closely with implementation and account management teams on onboarding.

Responsibilities

  • Drive new client acquisition through in-person networking with founders, investors, and operators
  • Build relationships across VCs, accelerators, and founder communities to generate warm referrals
  • Deliver presentations and demos that speak the language of founders and financiers
  • Identify upsell and expansion opportunities within existing client relationships
  • Own deals through close, partnering with implementation and client services on onboarding
  • Share market and competitive intelligence to inform go-to-market strategy

Requirements

  • Around 3 years of relevant experience (sweet spot)
  • A background that lets you credibly speak the language of founders and investors, such as tech investing, VC, founding a company, investment banking, or the broader startup ecosystem
  • Coachability and adaptability to a non-traditional, relationship-led sales motion
  • Hustle, grit, and a money-motivated mindset, with comfort attending frequent evening networking events
  • Ability to thrive in a high-ambiguity, fast-changing environment
