Senior Account Executive: Hardtech & Industrial Frontiers

The Mission

We don't do "lightweight." We build the systems that the physical world runs on. While the rest of the world is busy optimizing ad clicks, we are helping our customers build the future: drones, satellites, nuclear energy, etc.

As our Senior Account Executive, you aren't just managing a pipeline; you are a technical diplomat. You’ll be navigating the intersection of deep engineering and massive capital expenditure, closing deals that move atoms, not just bits.

What You’ll Do

Architect the Deal: Own the full sales cycle for complex, multi-million dollar deployments. This isn't a "demo-and-close" cycle—it’s a "consult-and-conquer" mission.

Bridge the Gap: Translate high-level engineering specs into undeniable business value for C-suite executives and Heads of Engineering.

Navigate the Labyrinth: Master the art of the long-game. You’ll navigate regulatory hurdles, procurement bottlenecks, and technical validation phases with surgical precision.

Drive the Roadmap: Act as the "eyes on the ground," feeding market intelligence back to our product and engineering teams to ensure our tech remains the industry's unfair advantage.

Who You Are

Battle-Tested: You have 6+ years of experience in high-stakes B2B sales (SaaS is fine, but Hardtech/Industrial/DeepTech experience is your "secret sauce").

Technically Literate: You don't need a PhD, but you should be able to hold your own in a room full of engineers without breaking a sweat.

The "Grind" Enthusiast: You understand that hardtech sales take time. You have the patience of a hunter and the persistence of a hydraulic press.

Strategic Navigator: You know how to map a complex organization, identify the "Economic Buyer" vs. the "Technical Champion," and neutralize the "Saboteur."

Minimum Qualifications & Skills

8+ years sales experience selling complex and technical deals

Ability to perform well in a highly dynamic, rapidly changing environment

Excellent communication and presentation skills

Experience with sales tools such as Salesforce, Gong, sequencing tools, Gmail

Ability to win the support of key stakeholders

Proven track record of reaching and exceeding sales goals

Creative, outside-the-box thinker, and strategist

Benefits & Perks

Health Insurance; medical, vision, dental, & life insurance.

Paid Parental Leave.

Employee Stock Option Plan.

Team outings, group lunches, open office, happy hours.

Paid holidays, sick days.

Flexible Friday and PTO.

401K.
