Founding Account Executive (New Vertical)

105k – 105kUnited StatesAccount ExecutiveRemote4+ YOE
Summary

Founding Account Executive owns full-cycle sales for new SMB dental customers in a new vertical, building sales playbook from scratch, prospecting practices, and shaping GTM strategy. Requires 4+ years sales experience with 2+ years full-cycle closing, ideally in startups or new markets.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Own the full sales cycle: qualify, discover, and close new SMB customers in the new vertical
  • Proactively prospect and engage dental practices to drive new client acquisition
  • Serve as a founding voice in shaping the sales motion, messaging, positioning, and processes for this vertical
  • Build and iterate on the playbook in real time — what you figure out becomes the foundation for every AE who comes next
  • Consistently track activity, pipeline, and performance in Salesforce, and help define what "good" looks like in the data
  • Become a student of dentistry and an expert in the product and value proposition
  • Partner closely with senior sales leadership to hit revenue targets and refine KPIs
  • Feed learnings back into product, marketing, and GTM strategy — you're on the front lines and your voice will shape the roadmap
  • Operate with urgency, accountability, and a bias toward action in a fast-moving environment

What We're Looking For

  • 4+ years of sales experience, with 2+ years owning a full-cycle closing role
  • Experience launching a new vertical, new market, or new product — you've been the first or among the first AEs in a seat before and know what it takes to build from nothing
  • Experience in a high-growth startup or scaling environment strongly preferred
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity with limited structure and resources — you write the playbook as you go
  • Strong organizational skills and disciplined pipeline management
  • High proficiency with Salesforce or similar CRMs
  • Demonstrated track record of professional success

Bonus Points For

  • Experience building a founding sales motion at an early-stage company or newly-acquired business unit
  • Background in healthcare, dental, or adjacent verticals
  • Outstanding professional references to share
  • Love of blitz growth environments
  • Relentlessly positive attitude, strong sense of humor, and the ability to have fun at work
