Strategic Account Executive, Retail

Sales · Full-time · Remote; San Francisco; New York

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

About the Role

You'll be a Strategic AE selling Cursor into consumer-facing enterprises where engineering velocity impacts revenue and customer experience (ecommerce, marketplaces, hospitality platforms, media/streaming, entertainment brands). You'll win by proving real-world impact and scaling adoption across large product engineering orgs.

You May Be a Fit If

• Strong outbound + account planning chops; you create pipeline consistently
• You're a true hunter - you proactively build pipeline from scratch through outbound prospecting, creative sourcing, and relentless follow-up, rather than relying on inbound demand
• High ownership IC who moves fast and communicates crisply
