Job Description

About the Role

This Account Executive role sits at the heart of a fast-growing go-to-market team at an early-stage B2B marketplace startup. You'll own the full sales cycle and play a defining role in expanding the company's footprint with public-sector and commercial customers in the specialized vehicles and equipment space.

What You'll Do

  • Own end-to-end sales cycles — from sourcing and discovery through to close — for new logo acquisition.

  • Balance a roughly 50/50 inbound and outbound motion, building pipeline while converting warm opportunities.

  • Travel regularly to meet customers in person, including fire chiefs, fleet managers, and municipal procurement stakeholders.

  • Represent the company at industry conferences and customer-facing events.

  • Maintain a disciplined, organized book of business using CRM tools.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in a full-cycle Account Executive role, including outbound prospecting, qualification, and closing.

  • Proven track record building and managing customer relationships through direct, in-person engagement.

  • Experience balancing inbound and outbound sales motions simultaneously.

  • Hands-on CRM proficiency for pipeline and account management.

  • Prior experience at an early-stage, venture-backed startup.

  • Willingness and ability to travel regularly to meet customers.

  • Experience selling to government or public-sector organizations (e.g., municipalities, emergency services) is a strong plus.

  • Based in or willing to work from the Midwest, US South, West Coast, or Southeast is preferred.

  • No visa sponsorship available — must be authorized to work in the US.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: $93,000 – $118,000 USD annually. No visa sponsorship is available for this role.

Location

Fully remote (United States). Primary location anchor is Los Angeles, CA, though candidates across the US are welcome.
