Job Description

About the Company

Our client is a venture-backed, 14-person company supplying proprietary enterprise data to frontier AI labs. Based in Dumbo, Brooklyn, the team acquires business data, transforms it into de-identified datasets and licenses it for AI model development. The company has grown to a multi-eight-figure run rate in a matter of months.

About the Role

Own the full sales cycle for startup wind-downs and data acquisition as an Account Executive.

What You Will Do

• Run end-to-end conversations with founders winding down their startups, close wind-down deals and acquire datasets for AI training.
• Build at least 25% of your own pipeline through outbound prospecting and identify companies showing distress signals.
• Negotiate data pricing and legal terms, and walk away from poor-fit deals.
• Improve the sales playbook and target 10 or more datasets acquired per month with 40% or higher close rates on qualified deals.

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

• Approximately 2 to 4 years in client-facing sales, consulting, investment banking or partnerships at high-growth, talent-dense startups.

• A concrete record of hitting or exceeding quota and independently building outbound pipeline.
• Strong negotiation, communication and judgment with founders and business leaders.
• Evidence of sustained performance in fast-moving startup environments.
• Ability to work onsite five days a week in Brooklyn.
