Founding Account Executive

What We Do

Conduct is reinventing how enterprises run their legacy software, solving a multi-billion-dollar problem at the core of global business and manufacturing. While the world’s largest enterprises still rely on decades-old systems, we bring them back to the technological frontier.

Our AI platform transforms weeks of manual system analysis into instant insights, turning customization chaos into clarity. We help industry leaders such as Daimler Truck ($40bn+ revenue) and Rittal ($3bn+ revenue) cut millions in IT costs, accelerate ERP project timelines by months, and unlock revenue faster with smarter systems.

We’re beginning with SAP, but that’s only the start. At Conduct, we are pioneering a new era of Enterprise System Intelligence and are on a mission to transform the entire enterprise stack.

As one of Conduct’s first Account Executive (AE) hires
, you won’t just carry a number: you’ll help shape how we sell as a company
. You’ll be the driving force behind winning new business and expanding our footprint with some of the world’s largest enterprises. You will not just join meetings — you will own relationships, create momentum, and push deals forward
. Specifically, you will:

• Build pipeline: Proactively generate opportunities through relentless outreach, networking, and leveraging founder networks. No waiting around for inbound.
• Run high-stakes conversations: Drive first meetings with the CEO, then carry the opportunity forward through follow-ups, multi-stakeholder discussions, and deep qualification.
• Navigate complexity: Work with founders and Deployment Strategists on technical deep dives and pilot setup, ensuring deals stay on track.
• Convert pilots into deals: Prepare and lead Steering Committees, articulate value clearly, and take command of procurement and commercial negotiations to close.
• Grow accounts post-sale: Stay operationally in charge, ensuring adoption, spotting expansion opportunities, and turning accounts into multi-year partnerships.
• Build the playbook: Design and refine our 0→1 sales processes, from pipeline generation to closing motions.
• Future team building: If you prove yourself, there’s an opportunity to build out a sales team around you
  .
• Feedback loop: Channel customer insights back into our product and GTM strategy.

When not on the road, you will be in person with the team in our Fitzrovia, London office by default.

We are only looking for proven top performers
