Founding Account Executive

Account Executive

We're looking for our first Account Executive to help shape our outbound motion. This is a rare opportunity to join early, work directly with the founders, and have a visible impact on the Blaze, the future of autonomous marketing. You'll be joining at the precipice of scale — right as inbound demand, product maturity, and brand momentum are converging. The foundation is built, the market signal is strong, and now we're ready to turn that traction into predictable revenue. This isn't your average AE role: High impact: You'll define how we sell and who we sell to. Direct access: Work side-by-side with the founders every day. Upside: Competitive base salary + meaningful equity. Timing: Join right as we shift from early traction to rapid growth — when your work will shape the entire go-to-market engine. Speed: We move fast, iterate quickly, and back ideas that drive results. Specifically you'll: Own the full sales cycle — from qualifying inbound leads to closing new customers. Build and manage a healthy pipeline, experimenting with outbound where it makes sense. Partner directly with our CEO and COO on pricing, positioning, and deal strategy. Work closely with our Growth team to refine messaging and surface patterns from the field. Develop a repeatable sales process — how we demo, follow up, and convert. Capture and relay product feedback to help shape the roadmap.

You set bold timelines, crush them, and move faster than anyone - never letting process slow you down. Have professional maturity. You stay calm, assume good intent, and keep work fun - while building strong, easy relationships.
