Founding Account Executive

I’m hiring a founding AE at Maintouch.

The basics

• Maintouch builds AI agents to automate the trillion-dollar marketing agency industry.
• We’ve grown insanely fast in the last 9 months (can share numbers privately), and power the growth systems for nearly 50+ of the fastest-growing companies in the world.
• Marketing is a series of micro-decisions based on responses to data. Maintouch connects to all your marketing data sources to plan and execute growth strategies like an expert would.
• I (founder) grew up working at my family’s marketing agency. We’re taking those learnings to automate all that work.
• Lean team of 8. Ex-founders and experts working in person in SoHo, NYC.

Why join?

• You're selling a product people genuinely love. Customers come in skeptical and leave telling their friends.
• We're transitioning out of founder-led sales. The motions are working, the pipeline is real, and now we need someone to own it and make it theirs.
• You're AE #3. Early enough to shape how we sell, late enough that you're not selling into the void. There's revenue, there's signal, there's momentum.
• Autonomy. This is a full cycle. You source your own leads, run your own deals, and close them. No handoffs, no BDR feeding you pipeline. You eat what you kill.
• 50/50 split. We believe in paying for performance, and we've set comp to reflect that.
• Get to tell your grandkids you helped build a generation-defining company in the LLM boom.

What you'll do:

• Own the full sales cycle end-to-end. Prospecting, outreach, discovery, demo, negotiation, close. The whole thing is yours.
• Build pipeline from scratch. Cold outbound, warm inbound, creative angles — whatever it takes. You're not waiting around for leads to show up.
• Run demos that actually land. You'll understand the product deeply enough to show founders exactly how Maintouch solves their #1 problem.
• Help build the sales machine. Document what works, kill what doesn't. Turn scrappy founder-led selling into a repeatable, scalable motion.
• Work directly with the founder and marketing to sharpen positioning, refine ICP, and figure out what messaging converts.
• Talk to customers constantly. You're the closest person to the market. Feed insights back into product, marketing, and everything we do.
• Close deals that directly generate millions in pipeline a month. This isn't a "build relationships and check in quarterly" role. You will be closing a lot.

What we’re looking for

• Has sold into startups or SMBs and knows how to move fast with founders who don't have time to waste.
• Proven closer. You have a track record of hitting and exceeding quota, and you can show it.
• Comfortable sourcing your own pipeline. You don't need a BDR team or a marketing machine to hit your number.
• Genuinely curious about AI and what it's doing to marketing. You don't need to be technical, but you need to get it and get excited about it.
• Absolute grinder.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.
• Has worked at a high-growth startup and thrived in the chaos.
