Account Executive

Enterprise Account Executive

Agentic AI Startup

London (Hybrid, 3 days office)

£120k-£150k base (£240k-£300k OTE, uncapped) + equity & benefits

At Hired By Startups, we're working with a Series B agentic AI startup, hiring an Enterprise Account Executive as one of their early commercial hires.

This startup has a genuinely differentiated technical product, with a strong technical moat, in a category that's still being defined. They have household name enterprise clients already signed, and backing from prominent European VCs. This isn't another wrapper, it's a deeply technical product, built on proprietary AI, which will revolutionise the way enterprises operate.

Reporting to the CRO, you'll own the full enterprise sales cycle from origination to close, landing new accounts with six-figure deals, before expanding accounts to reach seven/eight-figures annually.

If you're looking for a new role where you can sell a deeply technical product to enterprise customers, this could be for you. Keep reading...
