Founding Account Director – Generative AI Scale-up

I am currently partnering with the founders of a high-growth, 10-person startup re-imagining the marketing function for the AI-native era. They are moving upmarket and require a high-performing commercial leadto own the entire customer relationship—from the first demo to long-term expansion.

This is not a traditional "close and hand-over" role. My client is looking for a strategic advisor who treats every account with extreme care—meticulously protecting it through onboarding and ensuring the product is deeply adopted.

The Mission:

• End-to-End Ownership: You own the full lifecycle: from the initial conversation through to onboarding, adoption, and multi-seat expansion.
• Strategic Advisory: You will not just "sell features." You will advise VPs of Marketing and Founders on content strategy, LinkedIn presence, and executive positioning.
• Build the Playbook: As a foundational hire, you will establish the KPI frameworks and sales processes that future team members will follow.
• Product Influence: You will be forward-deployed, visiting customer offices and feeding insights directly to the founders to shape the product roadmap.

The Package:

• Base Salary: $75,000 – $165,000 (Based on experience)
• OTE: $150,000 – $330,000 (50/50 Split)
• Equity: Meaningful founding-team share options
• Benefits: 401k, Health, Vision, Dental, and a company credit card for work expenses.

Profile:

• 5+ Years B2B SaaS Experience: Ideally within an early-stage startup (Seed to Series A) where you found the path to revenue without a manual.
• Proactive & Reliable: You are self-motivated to source deals or check on customers even when the calendar is empty. You follow through 100% of the time.
• Marketing Taste: You understand content strategy and "what good looks like" on social platforms.
• Technical Aptitude: You can demo a technical product clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

If you are a builder who is ready to move away from corporate bureaucracy to own a category-defining product, please Apply
