Account Executive

Founding Account Executive - AI-Native Hotel Tech Start-up

Up to $100-120k base + x2 OTE + equity (flex for the right candidate)

Based in Brooklyn, New York – in the office 4 days a week

Company

This company is building an AI-native operating system for independent hotels.

Hotels have historically run on large back-office teams and a patchwork of clunky, dated tech – this company automates as much of that work as possible.

They've started with everything around revenue optimisation – dynamic pricing, Google Ads and digital marketing – and their USPs fall into three categories:

1. Automation, not headcount - they're replacing work hotels currently pay agencies and marketing managers to do
2. Pay when you earn - outcome-based pricing, they only make money when the hotel does, which makes it a very easy yes
3. Almost no software competition - they're competing with agencies and labour, not other tech

Exciting Bits

• $1m+ in revenue in their first 10 months - with the founder only selling c.5 hours a week
• Targeting $3m by the end of Q1 next year and $8–10m by the end of 2027
• Most deals close in one call
• Your meetings are booked for you - a 10% outbound reply rate, with half of those positive (still be prepared to generate pipe)
• Uncapped earning potential and meaningful equity
• Backed by a top-tier VC
• One of the first sales hires - get in early and grow with the team

The Role

• 100% new business, selling to independent hotel owners and operators
• High volume, short sales cycle - managing dozens of live deals at once
• Own the full cycle - discovery, demo, objections, negotiation and close
• Feed what you hear back into messaging, product and GTM

The Requirements

• 2–6 years closing in SMB, mid-market SMB or another high-volume environment
• Consistently beat quota on a short sales cycle
• Very personable and relatable - you win on warmth and credibility, not pressure
• Tech-savvy, sharp and highly organised - you'll be working in their own in-house systems
• SaaS isn't essential - a great SMB seller from any background will be considered
• Hospitality / hotel tech or selling to owner-operated businesses (restaurants, fitness, local services) is a big plus
• Not for you if your background is mainly six-figure enterprise deals with six-month sales cycles
