Job Summary
We are seeking a strategic, target-driven Account Executive to fuel the next phase of our commercial growth. You will own the end-to-end sales cycle — from lead qualification through closing high-value deals with mid-market and enterprise customers — and help bring transformative AI solutions to sophisticated innovation and R&D teams.
This role offers the chance to work at the forefront of building category-defining software in a rapidly expanding market. You'll collaborate with cross-functional rocket-ship teams across Marketing, Product and Customer Success to convert demand into revenue, expand strategic accounts, and deliver tailored engagements that speak to the evolving needs of modern IP, R&D, and legal organisations.
Key Responsibilities:
- Drive full sales cycle ownership, including pipeline development, discovery calls, demos, negotiation and closing
- Build and maintain strong relationships with senior stakeholders (e.g., Head of R&D, General Counsel, VP of Innovation)
- Understand customer business challenges and champion tailored, value-led solutions
- Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene
- Partner with team functions to refine messaging, positioning, and approach for key verticals
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of sales processes and go-to-market strategies
Why This Role Matters:
Our platform unifies previously fragmented patent and innovation workflows into a secure, AI-driven system that saves teams time and increases defensibility of intellectual property — a crucial differentiator in today's innovation economy. With recent funding and strong market adoption (including enterprise logos and high customer NPS), we're poised for explosive commercial growth — and you'll be at the heart of that journey.
