About the Role
We’re hiring a Founding Account Executive to help build Meera AI’s go-to-market engine from the ground up. This is a high impact, hands-on role for someone who thrives in early stage environments and enjoys building as much as selling. This is not a plug-and-play AE role. You will actively shape how we sell, expand on our ICP, refining discovery, pressure-testing messaging, and contributing directly to our repeatable sales processes. You’ll work closely with the VP of Sales and the rest of the leadership team to help expand on a scalable, predictable revenue motion.
What You’ll Do
Own the full sales cycle
- Prospect, engage, and close new business from both inbound leads and cold outbound, founder-led pipeline, tradeshows
- Run end-to-end sales motions from first touch to close
- Occasional travel to trade shows across the country
Build and refine the sales motion
- Partner with the VP of Sales to define and iterate on:
- Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
- Discovery and qualification frameworks
- Deal stages and close processes
- Apply structured sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC, SPICED) to complex, consultative deals
Pressure-test the market
- Test messaging, pricing, and packaging in real customer conversations
- Identify patterns in objections, deal blockers, and buyer behavior
Create early sales infrastructure
- Provide structured feedback on:
- Buyer personas
- Competitive landscape
- Objections and lost deals
- Contribute to the first sales playbooks, outbound motions, and repeatable processes
Required Experience
- 5+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience
- Proven ability to close complex, consultative SaaS deals
- Prior experience sourcing your own pipeline through cold outbound
- Experience operating in ambiguity (early-stage product, evolving playbook)
- Strong discovery, qualification, and objection-handling skills
Required Skills & Tools
- Hands-on experience with structured sales frameworks (MEDDIC, SPICED, or similar)
- CRM fluency (Salesforce, HubSpot, or equivalent)
- Experience using sequencing and outbound tools (Apollo, Lemlist, or similar)
Nice to Have
- Experience as a first or second AE at an early-stage startup
- Experience influencing pricing or packaging decisions
- Experience with data enrichment tools such as Clay
- SaaS experience in insurance, banking, or healthcare
Interview Process
- Round 1: Introduction with HR & VP of Sales (Hiring Manager)
- Round 2: Interview with CEO and/or COO
- Round 3: Final interview with VP of Sales, including a business case
