Enterprise Account Executive

We're hiring an Enterprise Account Executive to own the full sales cycle for mid-market and enterprise wholesale-distribution companies in Italy — from prospecting through negotiation and close. You'll run independent, multi-stakeholder deals worth €50k+ ARR on 60–90 day cycles, build lasting relationships with C-level executives and industry key opinion leaders, and help shape what enterprise sales looks like at a fast-growing, early-stage AI company.

Relationships & growth

• Build and maintain relationships with C-level executives and industry key opinion leaders to fuel referrals and expansion
