About the role
Pursuit is seeking an entrepreneurial, hands-on Founding Account Executive to drive job placements by building new employer demand for Pursuit AI-Native Builders. This is not a traditional SaaS Account Executive role with a defined sales playbook. What we bring to market is talent, not a software product. Success requires understanding an employer's business and hiring needs, identifying where Pursuit talent adds concrete value, and creating opportunities even when the need is not obvious at the start.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of experience in B2B sales, business development, strategic partnerships, or another client-facing growth role
- Proven track record of hitting quotas, placement targets, revenue goals, or other measurable business outcomes
- A hands-on prospector who is comfortable personally generating pipeline through a variety of outbound approaches
- Strong discovery skills with the ability to uncover and shape real business and hiring needs rather than defaulting to a standard pitch
- Experience owning a full sales cycle or leading complex partnership conversations from initial outreach through successful close
- Able to translate talent, services, or complex solutions into concrete value for different buyer types, experience selling talent, recruiting, staffing, services, marketplaces, or other non-software offerings is a plus
