AE - Contractor Fleet

Piston Pay is a payments company starting by revolutionizing how fleets manage their fuel payments. We're a Series A company backed by some of the best investors in the world, including Pear, Spark, and FPV (the same firms behind Anthropic, Dropbox, Door Dash, and Canva). We're building the financial backbone for the trucks and fleets that move the economy, and we're just getting started.

We're hiring an Account Executive to own and close deals with ground contractor fleets: independent service providers and contracted delivery operators running their own trucks. You'll carry opportunities from first demo through signed contract, working shoulder-to-shoulder with our founders, SDRs, and marketing team to build and close pipeline, sharpen our pitch, and define how we sell into this segment.

• Own the full sales cycle for Ground contractor fleet prospects, from discovery call and demo through negotiation and close.
• Run a high-volume, high-quality outbound motion alongside your SDRs, including direct prospecting when needed (100+ calls per day).
• Build relationships across the contractor community that generate referrals and expansion opportunities over time.
• Partner with marketing on campaign development, messaging testing, and ongoing refinement of the fleet ideal customer profile.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in Salesforce and Outreach, and bring a clear point of view on what's working and what isn't.
• Travel occasionally (2 - 3 day) to support in-market pushes and events.
