Location(s)

We are hiring for this role to be based in the United States or Canada. This is a remote role unless you fall within the following parameters. If you live within approximately 50 miles of our San Mateo, CA or Provo, UT office, the position follows a hybrid schedule with in-office days on Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

About The Role

As an Strategic Account Executive, you'll set the stage for how legal teams of the future work. Your impact will be direct and measurable. The best part? Our product has clear, deep product-market fit: 97.5% of teams see value before month one. You're selling the only legal AI built end-to-end for in-house counsel, and customers see that difference immediately.

We have a strong, proven inbound engine, but the real opportunity is how much whitespace remains. The global in-house legal market represents a massive, largely untapped opportunity, and we're looking for an AE who can work both sides: converting a strong inbound pipeline while building outbound motion to reach the thousands of legal teams who don't yet know what they're missing. You'll qualify prospects, run demos, manage trials, navigate procurement, and close deals, all while driving AI adoption across legal teams worldwide.

What You'll Do

• Own inbound pipeline quality: assess and prioritize leads with a sharp eye for fit, urgency, and expansion potential
• Build and manage your territory: develop a proactive outbound strategy to identify and penetrate high-value accounts across your book
• Hunt and open new logos: prospect outbound through personalized outreach, leveraging GC AI's strong brand and proven ROI story to create pipeline from scratch
• Execute world-class discovery: lead needs-based conversations that uncover real pain, quantify business impact, and position GC AI as the solution
• Strategize and follow through relentlessly: build account plans, align stakeholders, move deals forward, and follow up with the speed and precision that wins competitive deals
• Land and expand: close initial contracts and identify opportunities to grow accounts across teams, departments, and use cases
• Collaborate cross-functionally: partner with marketing, product, customer success, and leadership to deliver a seamless prospect and customer experience
• Keep CRM clean and forecasts honest: maintain rigorous HubSpot/Gong hygiene and deliver accurate, consistent pipeline visibility that the business can plan against

Required Experience

• 5-10 years of quota-carrying SaaS sales experience, with at least 3 years closing enterprise/strategic deals ($100k–$1M+).
• Self-starter with a proactive approach to identifying and solving problems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft clear and compelling emails
• Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple deals simultaneously
• Demonstrated success in achieving sales goals (President’s Club, Rep of the Year, Accolades.)
• Keen attention to detail
• Nice to have: Experience selling to legal, HR, finance, or related departments of tech companies

Nice to Have

• You have experience in legal tech or have previously sold technology solutions to legal professionals.
• You use AI in business yourself and/or are AI native yourself (you use Fathom, Gong, or other AI tools)
• Familiar with compliance-related aspects of selling software, like SOC II, vendor qualification, and other items that need to be completed to get to launch/close.

A Note On Pace

We’re building something new in a once-in-a-generation shift in technology and the legal industry, so we move at a relentless pace. We expect urgency, ownership, and good judgment even when things aren’t perfectly clear. If you need structure and consensus to do your best work, this isn’t the right place for you. If you thrive in ambiguity and growth, work with intensity, and want real responsibility, keep reading. We’re excited to meet you.
