Role Overview
As a Founding Account Executive, you’ll own the full sales cycle — from first touch to close.
You’ll work directly with the founders to close high-value deals, shape the sales motion, and define how this category is sold.
This is a builder role, not just an executor role.
What You’ll Do
- Own the full sales cycle: outbound → discovery → demo → close
- Close mid-market and enterprise deals ($20K–$100K+ ACV)
- Build and manage your own pipeline (inbound + outbound)
- Partner with SDRs and founders to drive pipeline generation
- Run consultative sales processes around SEO, content, and AI search
- Help define messaging, positioning, and sales playbooks
- Work closely with product to provide customer feedback and influence roadmap
- Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline in CRM
- Consistently hit and exceed quota
What We’re Looking For
- 2–6 years of SaaS sales experience (MarTech, SEO, or growth tooling a plus)
- Proven track record closing $20K–$100K+ ACV deals
- Strong closer mentality — you know how to create urgency and drive decisions
- Comfortable selling a new, non-obvious category
- Highly competitive and motivated by revenue and commission
- Strong communication and storytelling ability
- Thrive in ambiguity and move fast without perfect structure
Nice to Have
- Experience selling to marketing, growth, or content teams
- Experience in SEO, content marketing, or analytics tools
- Startup or early-stage company experience
- Experience working closely with founders or building GTM motions
Why Relixir
- Own revenue at a category-defining company
- Work directly with founders — no layers, high autonomy
- Real traction with leading B2B companies
- Equity in a high-growth, YC-backed startup
- Fast path to leadership (build the sales team)
- Sell into one of the fastest-growing markets: AI search
Who This Is For
This role is for someone who wants to:
- Close meaningful deals, not just run demos
- Help define how a new category is sold
- Work directly with founders and influence strategy
- Be early and own a meaningful piece of the company
If you want a highly structured sales org, this isn’t it.
If you want to build, close, and win, this is.
