Posted Updated
Description
- We are seeking a proactive, highly driven Account Executive with a passion for early-stage startup growth
- In this role, you manage inbound interest and take complete ownership of your territory as a true builder and self-sourcer
- If you excel at identifying high-value target accounts, prospecting into VP and C-Suite leaders, and systematically generating your own pipeline from scratch, you will thrive here
- This is a great chance to join an early sales team at a company with real product-market fit
- You’ll be closing real deals, with a focus on Mid-Market accounts, while helping shape the sales motion, the pitch, and the culture of a team that will grow significantly over the next 12–24 months
- You won’t be fighting over scraps
- AEs at Vantage operate with large territories
- The financial upside (salary, uncapped commission, and equity) reflects the early-stage opportunity this is
- Systematically research, identify, and prospect key decision-makers across target accounts using creative outbound strategies, cold outreach, and multi-channel sequencing to maintain a high-volume, healthy sales pipeline
- Own the full sales cycle from discovery through close for mid-market accounts
- Run structured, consultative discovery to understand how prospects think about cloud costs and map Vantage’s capabilities to their specific pain
- Partner with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to deliver compelling demos and smooth handoffs
- Proactively sourcing new opportunities without your territory
- Contribute to playbook development; you’ll be one of the first AEs, and what you learn will shape how the team operates
- Provide market feedback to Product and Marketing based on what you’re hearing in the field
Benefits
- Flexible PTO
- Tools needed to get the job done
- Meaningful equity
- Remote friendly
- Health, dental and vision
- Strong discovery instincts: you ask good questions and know how to surface real pain, not just surface-level interest
- Track record of hitting or exceeding quota in a closing role
- Startup mentality: you thrive with autonomy, don’t wait for a perfect playbook, and treat ambiguity as opportunity
- A kind person
- Curiosity about cloud infrastructure
- Comfort selling to a dual persona: engineers who care about product quality and finance/ops leaders who care about ROI
- 3–6 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in developer tools, infrastructure, or fintech
- Experience selling to FinOps, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure teams
- Familiarity with tools like AWS Cost Explorer, Datadog, Snowflake, or Kubernetes
- Prior experience at a company that went from early-stage to scale
