Account Executive (English-speaking)

About the Role

This is a founding Account Executive position at a seed-stage AI communications startup, where you will own the US go-to-market effort from the ground up. Working directly alongside the founding team, you will build early demand, close the first US customers, and establish a repeatable sales motion that proves product-market fit in the American market.

What You'll Do

Drive the initial US launch by building localized landing pages, messaging, and basic tracking with marketing support.

Run discovery calls, demos, and close early deals to win the first US customers.

Turn early learnings into a documented, repeatable sales motion and playbook for the US market.

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

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

Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing and engineering to launch and iterate quickly.

Scale the role over 6 to 12 months to become the primary US owner, with potential to hire and lead a local team.

Proven ability to build and execute early-stage GTM, including discovery, demos, and closing deals.

Experience creating localized messaging, landing pages, and basic demand-generation tracking.

Experience building and activating partner channels and co-selling programs.

Comfortable with CRM platforms such as Salesforce or HubSpot and sales funnel analytics.

Background selling AI or SaaS solutions to SMBs is a strong plus, particularly in AI-powered communications.

Ownership mentality, self-starter mindset, and a clear, direct communication style.

Willingness to be based in Vienna, Austria for 3 to 6 months for onboarding and team kickoff , with remote or relocation options available afterward.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: $100,000 to $150,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

Primary location: United States. This role requires on-site presence in Vienna, Austria for an initial onboarding period of 3 to 6 months, after which remote or relocated arrangements can be discussed.
