## About the role

Reporting at first directly to the CEO, Pursuit is seeking an entrepreneurial, hands-on Founding Account Executive for our AI Talent Placement team to manage and land placements of Pursuit’s AI Trained builders into full-time roles at a wide range of employer accounts. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years closing B2B business — sales, business development, strategic partnerships, staffing and recruiting, or professional services
- A track record against a number: quota, placement targets, revenue goals, or comparable measurable outcomes
- Comfortable with an offering that changes shape per account. You've sold something where the answer to "what exactly am I buying" had to be built during the conversation
- Strong discovery skills with the ability to uncover and shape real business and hiring needs rather than defaulting to a standard pitch
- You've owned a full cycle or led complex partnership conversations from first contact through close
- Pipeline discipline as a habit, not a chore. You can explain your conversion rates by stage and know where your deals actually die
