About the role
Assembly is looking for an Associate Account Executive to join our two-person sales team, reporting directly to Sean, our sales lead. This is a full-cycle role — you'll run discovery, demos, and close deals — and it's designed for someone earlier in their career who is hungry to do the real work of selling, not just set meetings for someone else.
What they're looking for
- You're early in your career and ready to do the work. Maybe you're a recent grad, maybe you've had a BDR or SDR role, maybe you've done something adjacent to sales. You haven't necessarily closed deals yet, but you're ready to
- You're a strong communicator. Your writing is crisp, you don't ramble, and you can hold a room's attention. You can explain something complex in plain language
- You're curious, coachable, and take real ownership. You ask good questions, act on feedback, and when something needs doing, you do it — you don't need a perfect playbook to move fast
- You're competitive and goal-oriented. You set high expectations for yourself and care about your own growth. You like having a clear target and the satisfaction of hitting it
- You're comfortable with technical concepts. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable discussing things like automation workflows, no-code tooling, and modern software without getting lost
- You're hardworking. This is a high-volume, high-velocity sales environment. No task is beneath you, and you thrive when the path isn’t perfectly defined

Run demos and close deals. You'll conduct 5+ demos per day, handle objections, and move deals from first call to close.
Lead discovery and solutioning. You'll ask sharp questions, understand customer workflows, and map them to our product across a wide range of service-based businesses —...
