Founding Account Executive

Merchkit

Founding Account Executive @ Merchkit Own the Commercial Engine at the Start of a Category The Opportunity Ecommerce is going through a structural shift. AI shopping surfaces - ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Amazon Rufus - are changing how products get found and purchased. They don't browse pages. They parse structured data, compare content quality, and recommend based on richness. Products with thin attributes, generic descriptions are invisible. No traditional PIM does what Merchkit does. No feed tool addresses content quality for LLM retrieval. No competitor is positioned around continuous content optimization for agentic commerce. McKinsey projects $3–5 trillion in global retail revenue from agentic commerce by 2030. Merchkit is the product catalog platform built for that world - and the window to own this category is 12–18 months. We have paying customers, strong product-market fit in furniture and home furnishings, and a positioning advantage in a market that's about to get very big very fast. Now we need someone to turn that traction into a scalable sales engine. You'll be the first dedicated sales hire. You'll work directly with the CEO. You'll own how Merchkit gets in front of buyers, opens doors, and builds pipeline. This is a founding role - not a seat on a team. What You'll Do - Own pipeline generation: outbound, partners, events, creative channels - whatever gets qualified meetings on the calendar - Be the first point of contact: run first calls, qualify hard, and set up deals to close - Co-sell with the CEO to progress and close large ACV deals, taking increasing ownership of the full cycle over time - Build partner and referral channels: Shopify agencies, ecommerce consultancies, tech ecosystem - as a pipeline multiplier - Bring market signal back: what resonates, what doesn't, where competitors show up, where deals stall What We're Looking For - 3–7 years in B2B SaaS sales — you've carried a quota and built pipeline where none existed - Early-stage experience — you've been at a company under $5M ARR and know what that actually looks like: building the playbook while running it - Outbound is your native language: cold calling, email, LinkedIn, events, creative plays - you don't wait for inbound - Bias to action that borders on impatience — speed matters more than polish in the early days - Ecommerce, product data, catalog management, or experience selling into merchandising/ops buyers is a plus. Not required, but you'll ramp faster - You want a founding role, not a job — strong equity, ownership, and the chance to build something from scratch What You Walk Into This isn't a cold start. Product — A differentiated AI-powered platform with no direct competitor doing what Merchkit does. Customers — Live, paying customers across furniture, home furnishings, and appliances. Testimonials you can use in outreach on day one. Positioning — A clear narrative built around agentic commerce and AI discoverability — the sharpest hook in the market right now. Sales Assets — An AI-native outbound & GTM stack, messaging frameworks, proposal templates, and a defined ICP already in place. Leadership — Direct access to the CEO, who knows the product and the market cold. You'll have a co-seller, not a manager. Compensation Structure Structure 50% base / 50% variable Variable Split 30% bookings (closed ARR) + 20% pipeline generation Target Deals $30K+ ACV Equity Strong early-stage equity participation What's Next? If you're excited about: - Owning commercial motion at a company with real product-market fit - Selling a narrative that's genuinely ahead of where the market is going - Building a sales function from the ground up — your process, your playbook - Working directly with a founder who will co-sell with you, not manage you …reach out At Merchkit, we believe diverse teams build better products. We welcome applications from everyone, regardless of background.

Founded in 2009, Superhuman empowers over 40 million people, 50,000 organizations, and 3,000 educational institutions worldwide to eliminate busywork and focus on what matters. The Opportunity As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will be responsible for driving net-new sales and expansion of Superhuman within the Enterprise segment, with a focus on named accounts with 5,000+ employees. Your primary motion will be selling our Go platform to large enterprises while partnering with product-specific overlays to drive multi-product bundles and standalone revenue across your assigned book of business, across Coda and Mail. You will pioneer some of our largest and most strategic deals — landing new logos, formalizing enterprise-wide relationships with companies that already have hundreds (or thousands) of employees using Superhuman, and expanding existing customers into multi-product commitments. You will report to the Enterprise Sales Manager. You will also set the standard for what future Enterprise AEs will be expected to do and how they will be supported by Marketing, Product, Sales Engineering, and Legal/Finance. In this role, you will: - Own the full sales cycle from prospecting through close for enterprise accounts (5,000+ employees), with a focus on landing the Go platform as the primary entry point. - Drive multi-product revenue by partnering closely with product-specific overlays to position and sell bundles across Go, Mail, and the broader Superhuman ecosystem within your accounts. - Build and manage pipeline across both net-new prospects and your existing customer base, identifying expansion and upsell opportunities that drive incremental ARR. - Develop executive relationships and multi-thread across buying committees — from end users and department heads to CIOs and procurement — to build enterprise-wide consensus. - Navigate complex deal cycles involving legal reviews, security questionnaires, procurement processes, and multi-stakeholder approval chains. - Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to deliver tailored solutions and drive adoption post-sale. - Pioneer the enterprise playbook — the processes, positioning, and deal structures you establish will become the foundation for every Enterprise AE who follows. - Maintain CRM discipline with accurate forecasting, timely next-step updates, and clean pipeline hygiene in Salesforce. Qualifications - 5+ years of quota-carrying B2B SaaS sales experience, with at least 2 years closing enterprise deals (5,000+ employee companies). - Demonstrated track record of exceeding quota, with experience managing deal sizes of $100K+ ACV. - Experience selling into complex organizations with multi-stakeholder buying committees, long sales cycles, and cross-functional alignment requirements. - Strong multi-product selling instincts — the ability to land with one product and expand into a broader platform conversation with support from overlay partners. - Excellent discovery skills and business acumen — you understand how to map organizational pain to product value and build a compelling business case. - Comfort operating in an early-stage enterprise motion where you are building the playbook, not just following one. - Familiarity with MEDDPICC or similar enterprise sales methodologies. - Outstanding written and verbal communication skills — you will be the face of Superhuman to some of the world’s largest companies. - Has a demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance, proactively manages tasks and priorities across multiple projects, analyzes and executes work efficiently, collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams, and thrives in fast-paced, results-driven environments. Nice to Have - Experience selling AI productivity, collaboration, or communication software to enterprise buyers. - Background working alongside product overlays, specialist sellers, or solutions engineering teams in a multi-product GTM motion. - Familiarity selling into IT, Security, or Procurement stakeholders in regulated industries. - Prior experience at a high-growth company where you helped build the enterprise sales function from the ground up. Compensation and Benefits Superhuman offers all team members competitive pay along with a benefits package encompassing the following and more: - Excellent health care (including a wide range of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and fertility benefits) - Disability and life insurance options - 401(k) and RRSP matching - Paid parental leave - 20 days of paid time off per year, 12 days of paid holidays per year, two floating holidays per year, and flexible sick time - Generous stipends (including those for caregiving, pet care, wellness, your home office, and more) - Annual professional development budget and opportunities Superhuman takes a market-based approach to compensation, so base pay may vary by location.

The expected salary ranges for this position are outlined below by compensation zone and may be modified in the future.
