Account Executive

Suppli · Austin, TX, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Suppli is going after a generational opportunity: becoming the AI-native AR and credit operating layer for the physical economy. Every manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, and dealer that moves physical goods on trade credit. That's a multi-trillion-dollar working capital system still being run on 30-year-old ERPs, homegrown spreadsheets, and small, overlooked credit teams. No company has established itself as the category leader yet. That window is open right now and it will not stay open forever.

The product side of that equation is already working at a level most Series A/B companies never see:

~$100k ACV
~90-day average sales cycle - fast for a system-adjacent platform
~35% close rate from Stage 2 to closed-won
Net Dollar Retention well north of 120%, with a meaningful number of customers more than doubling ACV between month 12 and 24
$7B+ in open AR flowing through the platform, producing a compounding data advantage that deepens with every account
Proven outcomes: 15% avg DSO reduction, 16% avg past-due AR reduction, 90-day time to value

The macro tailwinds are landing at the same time. In a recent CFO survey, 79% already have AI in production or piloting, 57% are under moderate-to-strong board pressure to move on AI, 92% are willing to shift labor budget to AI tools, and AR automation is the 3rd-highest AI investment priority in finance. We don't need to convince CFOs AI matters. We need to get in front of more of them, faster.

Our sales team has been incredibly lean to-date but our traction (and recent investments in a proprietary AI GTM system, partnerships and marketing) requires us to add elite, full-cycle closers to triple down and take advantage of this momentum.

How we work
Suppli's culture is intense, empathetic, high stakes, and genuinely fun. We move with velocity because the opportunity to build a multi-billion dollar company is up for grabs. But velocity without direction is just chaos, so every fast decision is anchored to impact. We're direct and rigorous in how we evaluate the business and give feedback, and we do it with real care for the people on the other side of the conversation. We hire people who treat their work as a craft, ship things that make the company incrementally better every day, and hold themselves to outcomes, not just effort.

We work 5 days per week in-person at our Austin HQ (E 6th and Comal) and firmly believe this gives us a competitive advantage in terms of speed and collaboration. The opportunity in front of us is truly generational so we’re looking for teammates who are in a place where they can prioritize work the next few years in exchange for building a massive company (and the financial gains that come with doing so) and accelerating their career development. If you’re looking for a comfortable 9-5, order taking role, we won’t be a fit.

Compensation
Top-of-market salary and equity package
Uncapped commission (with accelerators)
Full medical, dental & vision insurance coverage
