Founding Account Executive - NYC
Exa Labs
Founding Account Executive
Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn't been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike.
We recently raised an $85M Series B from Benchmark, and we are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We're high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.
Now, we're looking for a Founding Account Executive to help us bring Exa to new verticals & to the world (aka New York City)!

- Work closely with SDRs to keep the pipeline strong and moving
- Negotiate contracts, hit targets, and drive revenue growth
What You'll Need
- 2+ years in a sales role, ideally in SaaS or AI/tech products
- Experience managing a full sales cycle, from lead generation to close
- Strong communication skillsyou can tell a great story and sell a vision
- A consultative approachhelp customers see the business value, not just the features
