About the Role
Our client is a fast-growing developer infrastructure platform that sells authentication APIs to companies like OpenAI, Cursor, and Perplexity. They've hit $20M ARR without hiring a single salesperson. The product sells itself because it solves a real problem: helping SaaS companies add enterprise features (SSO, Directory Sync, Audit Logs) without building them from scratch. Backed by $95M from top investors and valued at $525M, they have the funding to compensate well and the runway to let you build the sales playbook your way.
Our client's mission is to help every application become Enterprise Ready. They're addressing a critical challenge in the B2B SaaS market: the "Enterprise Chasm" that separates small early-adopter users from large enterprise customers. Every B2B SaaS application needs to build a similar feature set with high technical complexity to sell to enterprise customers. They enable development teams to cross this chasm efficiently and quickly, allowing companies to focus on core product development.
As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will drive our clients’ growth by building and scaling an enterprise sales motion from the ground up. You’ll work closely with founders and product teams to sell a modular API platform to technical leaders at top B2B SaaS companies, addressing their most complex technical requirements. This high-impact role is ideal for someone who thrives in entrepreneurial settings, enjoys navigating complex sales cycles and experimentation, and wants to make a direct contribution to the success of fast-growing SaaS innovators.
