About Ekho

The vehicle commerce platform that closes deals 24/7. AI sales agents, high-converting websites, and a 50-state transaction engine for titled vehicle dealerships. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

You'll be one of the first AEs on the dealer side of the business, working closely with our CEO, Head of Finance/Partnerships, and our engineering and product teams. You'll own deals end-to-end — from first touch to signature — and help refine the playbook as we scale.

What they're looking for

  • Experience at companies like Toast, Square, Stripe, Shopify, ServiceTitan, commerce enablement companies, or similar "software sold to operators" motions
  • Exposure to enterprise or platform sales cycles — multiple stakeholders, longer timelines, procurement — even if your day-to-day has been velocity
  • Comfort creating or adapting simple deal materials (slides/proposals) when needed — without needing a fully staffed sales ops team
  • Ability to quickly craft compelling, well-formatted, and aesthetically pleasing decks in the form of prospect proposals and ROI calculators
  • Familiarity with automotive/powersports/marine dealer dynamics (helpful, but not required if you can learn fast)
  • Previous experience in investment banking and/or consulting where you grinded like a dog and have a relentless work ethic as a result

We're hiring an Account Executive to scale a now-repeatable, high-velocity sales motion selling into dealerships and dealer groups — with the goal of growing into participating meaningfully in selling our full transaction engine platform into enterprise vehicle retailers.

There's real volume and real urgency here. Most of our demand is inbound and we're ready to turn it into signed rooftops, fast. We also have a growing outbound motion that is still being built, and this person will be a thought partner in shaping what it becomes rather than inheriting someone else's playbook. We want someone who brings serious sales craft + serious dog: the person who is last out of the office, makes noise when...
