Account Executive
True Talent Solutions Partners · New York · onsite
ABOUT THE ROLE
A data infrastructure and analytics company is seeking an Account Executive to manage the full sales cycle for startup wind-downs and data acquisition. You will work directly with founders navigating a company closure and negotiate data licensing deals that support AI model development.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead sales conversations with founders, closing wind-down agreements and acquiring company data sets for AI training.
- Build at least 25% of your own pipeline through outbound prospecting and identifying companies showing signs of distress.
- Negotiate data pricing and legal terms, and assess when an opportunity is not a good fit.
- Apply and improve the sales playbook as you learn what works in this emerging market.
- Work toward acquiring 10 or more data sets per month while maintaining a close rate of at least 40% on qualified deals.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Two to four or more years of experience in client-facing sales, consulting, investment banking, partnerships, or a related role at an early-stage, high-growth startup.
- A documented record of meeting or exceeding quota and building outbound pipeline, not only handling inbound leads.
- Experience with data licensing, data sourcing, or data sales is helpful.
- Familiarity with Salesforce or HubSpot, sales engagement tools, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and AI prospecting tools.
- Recent professional experience, a sustained tenure of at least one year, and experience as a full-time employee at an established company.
- Comfort working in person five days per week in a fast-moving environment.
