Senior Account Executive

Verdant Bridge Group is looking for our first dedicated commercial hire for the Verdant Intelligence Platform (VIP), our AI-driven leadership intelligence system. VIP tracks executive flight risk, availability signals, and competitive talent movement for private equity firms, venture capital firms, and mid-to-large enterprises, giving them visibility into leadership change before it becomes public.

This is a zero-to-one role. There is no existing sales playbook, no established pipeline, and no prior commercial hire to hand this off from. You will build the go-to-market motion for VIP from the ground up, working directly with firm leadership.

VIP is not a transactional SaaS product. It is a high-touch intelligence subscription delivered through flight risk assessments, competitive talent landscape reports, and executive opportunity alerts, typically sold into deal teams, portfolio operations, boards, and senior HR and talent leadership. Expect a consultative, multi-stakeholder sales cycle, not a short self-serve motion.

• Own the full sales cycle for VIP, from first outreach to closed subscription, targeting PE firms, VC firms, and enterprise leadership and HR buyers
• Build outbound strategy and messaging from scratch, there is no existing demand-gen engine to rely on
• Identify and engage buyers across deal teams, portfolio operations, boards, and talent/HR leadership at target accounts
• Partner directly with firm leadership to shape pricing, packaging, and positioning as the business's first commercial hire
• Translate platform capabilities (flight risk detection, availability signals, competitive talent mapping) into business value for non-technical, executive-level buyers
• Represent VIP at industry events and in direct outreach to build the initial customer base

• 5+ years of B2B sales experience in consultative, long-cycle environments; subscription research, intelligence, or data platforms (e.g. Gartner, CB Insights, Pitch Book, Alpha Sense) are a strong fit, traditional short-cycle SaaS is not
• Experience selling to private equity, venture capital, or enterprise executive/HR buyers
• Demonstrated success building a sales motion without an established playbook, team, or pipeline
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and reporting directly to firm leadership rather than a sales management layer
• Based in or willing to work hybrid out of the Jacksonville, FL area

Competitive, commensurate with experience.
