🚀 Founding Account Executive | AI + Data Platform


📍 Norwood, NJ area | 💼 Full-Time



🔥 Looking for a true 0→1 sales role?

This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage AI startup before scale and help build the entire go-to-market engine from scratch.


Our client is building a next-gen AI-powered data platform that’s changing how organizations actually use their data (not another black box AI tool 👀).


They have:

  • Strong early traction
  • Active design partners
  • Real momentum toward product-market fit


➡️ Now they need a founding AE to help take it to the next level.



💼 What You’ll Be Doing

This is not a “walk into pipeline” role.


You will:

  • 🚀 Own the full sales cycle (prospecting → close)
  • 🎯 Build pipeline from scratch (outbound + creative GTM)
  • 🤝 Work directly with the founders on early deals
  • 🧠 Help define messaging, ICP, and how the company sells
  • 📊 Sell into data, analytics, and technical stakeholders



🧱 Who This Is Perfect For

This role is for a builder, not just an executor.


You likely:

  • Have 3–6+ years of B2B SaaS AE experience
  • Own the full cycle and are strong in outbound
  • Have worked at a startup (must-have)
  • Have sold technical / complex solutions (AI, data, analytics = big plus)
  • Thrive in ambiguity and like figuring things out
  • Want to build something—not just hit quota



💰 Comp & Upside

  • 💵 Base Salary
  • 💸 Uncapped commissions
  • 📈 Meaningful early-stage equity
  • 🏥 Benefits + 401(k) with company match
  • 🌴 PTO + holidays



🔥 Why This Role Stands Out

  • True Founding AE (not “early-ish”… actually early)
  • Direct access to founders and real influence
  • Ability to build the playbook from scratch
  • High-growth AI + data space
  • Huge upside (comp + equity + career trajectory)
