Founding Account Executive
Voicepanel, California, MO, United States
Voicepanel is building the next era of customer-centric product development. Today, companies ship products without truly knowing if customers understand or want them. Traditional research methods—surveys, focus groups, manual interviews—power a $140B industry that hasn’t kept pace with how modern teams operate in an AI-first world.
Voicepanel changes this with customizable AI agents that recruit participants, collect feedback, and synthesize clear, actionable recommendations. Teams move from open questions to confident, customer-driven decisions in days, not quarters. We’re already partnering with leading global brands and hypergrowth startups to unlock a fundamentally new way of building products with customers at the center.
We’re a veteran team of product builders and operators (formerly Google, Microsoft, and Apple). Our business is growing quickly, and we’re backed by leading investors including Y Combinator and founders of Dropbox, Instacart, Optimizely, and Gusto.
About the role: This is an opportunity to join a high-velocity startup at the ground floor. As our first GTM hire, you’ll help design and execute our sales motion, scaling the business from $XM to $XXM+ in ARR.
Own the end-to-end pipeline, including outbound strategy, systems, and messaging
Turn early enterprise wins into repeatable, scalable GTM playbooks
Lead weekly deal reviews with full visibility into product roadmap and P&L
Help define the GTM culture and operating cadence for the company’s next decade
Competitive salary, performance-based variable comp, and meaningful early-stage equity
This role reports directly to the CEO and is a career-defining opportunity for someone hungry to build.
What you’ll own:
Pipeline & outbound
Research ICPs, generate target account & lead lists
Maintain & improve our automated outbound stack (Apollo, HubSpot, Clay, Heyreach, etc.)
Manage cold outbound with a focus on product & marketing leadership (e.g. CPO, CMO, CEO)

Negotiate 6 figure multi-year contracts
Expand existing accounts into multi-team deployments
GTM strategy
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO on pricing, positioning, and sales assets

Help hire and mentor the future sales team
Required qualifications:
5+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, including 2+ years of enterprise sales
Have sold 6+ figure, multi-team contracts to large enterprises
Comfortable doing SDR work directly (you won’t be handed pipeline)
Technical enough to build outbound automations & learn the product deeply
Hungry, competitive, and excited by ownership
Located in the San Francisco Bay Area
Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time
Strongly preferred: experience at a high-velocity early-stage startup
Ideal candidate has previously sold to product, marketing, or research teams
Benefits:
