Account Executive (English-speaking)

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding Account Executive position at a seed-stage AI communications SaaS company, sitting at the center of its US go-to-market effort.

- Turn early learnings into a repeatable sales playbook for the US market.

- Identify partner channels, pitch potential partners, and enable co-selling programs.

- Own customer success for initial accounts: onboard, support, and capture feedback to sharpen product and positioning.

- Work cross-functionally with marketing, product, and engineering to execute quickly and iterate.

- Scale the role over 6 to 12 months to become the main US owner and potentially build and lead a local team.

- Strong strategic planning ability paired with a bias for tactical execution.

- Self-starter mindset with an ownership mentality and clear communication style.

- Familiarity with CRM tools such as Salesforce or HubSpot and basic sales analytics.

- Experience selling AI or SaaS solutions to SMBs, and domain knowledge in AI-powered communications, is a plus.

- Willingness to be based in Vienna, Austria for an initial 3 to 6 month onboarding period, with relocation or remote setup possible afterward.
