Strategic Account Executive

Strategic Account Executive (New Business)

Location:

New York (On-site / Commutable)

$250K–$350K OTE + Meaningful Equity + High Upside

We’re partnering with a high-growth, venture-backed AI company building a category-defining platform used by enterprise brands to transform how products are designed and brought to market.

Already trusted by globally recognised fashion, retail, and luxury brands, the business has seen rapid revenue growth and strong enterprise adoption
. With product-market fit firmly established, the next phase is scaling a world-class sales team
.

New York is a critical market, with the majority of customers based there. This hire will play a key role in building that presence.

This is a pure new business role
.

You will be responsible for building pipeline, opening enterprise accounts, and closing high-value deals across a market that is still early in its adoption of AI.

This is not a role where you inherit pipeline.

This is a role where you create it
.

If you want:

• a high-ownership, high-impact seat
• direct exposure to enterprise customers
• a product with real traction and low competition

this is a genuine opportunity to build something meaningful.

• Own the full sales cycle from outbound prospecting through to close
• Build a net-new pipeline across enterprise fashion, retail, and design-led organisations
• Drive new logo acquisition in a greenfield territory
• Engage senior stakeholders including:
  Chief Design Officers, Heads of Design, C-suite, Procurement, and IT

• Experience selling into large enterprise organisations with complex stakeholder groups
• Success in emerging or category-defining products
• Ability to stay composed, ask the right questions, and navigate ambiguity in deals
• High ownership mindset and strong internal drive

• Not an account management or expansion-focused role
• Not reliant on inbound pipeline or SDR-heavy support

• Not for scripted sellers who struggle in unstructured conversations

• Sell a category-defining AI product with strong enterprise traction
• Join at a point where sales is the biggest growth lever
