About Scrunch
Scrunch, a Sitecore company, is on a mission to bring brands to an AI-first future—where people increasingly rely on LLMs to discover, understand, and act on information that matters to them.

As AI search and conversational agents replace traditional web search and browsing, Scrunch helps marketing teams rethink how their products and services are discovered and surfaced on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and more—working with AI platforms, not against them. This shift represents the biggest change to marketing since the dawn of the internet.

Today, more than 500 paying brands—including Fortune 500 companies like Lenovo, category-defining brands like Akamai, ADP, Lenovo and breakout startups like Clerk—use the platform.

About the Role
As an Account Executive, Agency at Scrunch, you’ll own new business with digital, SEO, content, and performance marketing agencies who are navigating one of the biggest shifts in their industry: how brands show up in an AI-first discovery world.

You’ll sell directly to agency leaders—Founders, Managing Directors, Heads of SEO, Content, and Strategy—helping them understand how Scrunch enables better client outcomes, differentiation, and retention in an increasingly algorithm-driven ecosystem. You’ll run the full sales cycle end to end, from first conversation through close, partnering closely with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to build a repeatable agency motion.

This role is ideal for a seller who understands agency economics, services-led motions, and partner-style selling, and who thrives in fast-moving, early-stage environments.
