Junior Account Executive


📍 New York City | On-site, 5 days per week

💰 $70,000–$75,000 base | $115,000–$125,000 OTE + equity


💼 The Role

We’re working with a fast-growing, early-stage AI software company looking for an ambitious Junior Account Executive to join its New York team.


This is a high-ownership sales role for someone early in their career who has already proved they can succeed in outbound and now wants the opportunity to develop into a full-cycle seller.


You’ll initially be heavily focused on generating your own pipeline through high-volume cold calling, while also running demos and progressing towards closing your own deals as you ramp.

The product already has a proven, fast-moving sales cycle and strong outbound conversion rates.


🚀 Key Responsibilities

  • Own high-volume outbound prospecting, including 50+ cold calls per day
  • Research target accounts and identify relevant decision-makers
  • Build and test your own targeted outbound sequences
  • Book and increasingly run your own product demos
  • Progress into owning and closing deals directly
  • Track your own activity, conversion and quota metrics
  • Support conferences, events and new go-to-market experiments
  • Work directly with a small founding team to improve the sales motion
  • Take significant ownership rather than relying on an established sales playbook


🌟 What We’re Looking For

  • 1–3 years of B2B outbound sales experience as an SDR, BDR and/or junior AE
  • Experience within an early-stage startup or genuinely high-velocity sales environment
  • Strong cold-calling experience and comfortable making 50+ calls per day
  • Evidence of strong performance, ideally with clear quota attainment or outbound metrics
  • Confident, clear communicator who can quickly build rapport over the phone
  • Hungry, ambitious and comfortable working without extensive sales operations or structure
  • Strong commercial judgement and the ability to learn quickly
  • Comfortable owning both pipeline generation and increasing closing responsibility
  • Able to work from the New York City office five days per week


💰 Package

  • $70,000–$75,000 base salary
  • $115,000–$125,000 OTE
  • Uncapped commission upside
  • Competitive equity
  • Clear progression into full-cycle sales
  • Five days per week in the New York City office
  • Join a small, well-funded team at a major growth stage
