Founding Account Executive

OverviewApplication

About the Role

This is the first dedicated sales role at SolZero. You'll own the full new-business motion for AI agent deployments inside operationally complex companies: finding the right accounts, diagnosing where manual work is slowing teams down, building the commercial case, and closing the engagement.

The role is consultative, technical, and founder-adjacent. You're not selling seats or generic software. You're helping executives understand where AI agents can remove operating cost, reduce coordination drag, and ship into production without forcing a systems migration.

What You'll Do

  • Build and own outbound pipeline across operations-heavy companies in finance, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and B2B services
  • Run discovery with COOs, CFOs, revenue leaders, and operations teams to identify workflows worth automating
  • Translate workflow pain into clear business cases, ROI models, pilots, and mutual close plans
  • Lead demos and executive conversations with support from SolZero strategists and engineers
  • Navigate multi-stakeholder sales cycles from first conversation through signed deployment
  • Feed objections, buying patterns, and vertical insights back into the product, delivery, and marketing playbooks

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years in B2B sales, consulting sales, enterprise SaaS, automation, AI, or technical services
  • Evidence that you can create pipeline from scratch and turn ambiguous interest into qualified opportunities
  • Strong executive presence - you can run a room with operators, finance leaders, and technical stakeholders
  • Comfort selling value before there is a rigid playbook, with the judgment to know when a deal is real
  • Ability to quantify operational pain, build simple ROI cases, and explain complex AI capabilities in plain business terms
  • Based in Atlanta, Georgia or willing to relocate. Willingness to travel to client sites.

Helpful Experience

  • Experience selling AI, automation, data, workflow, or integration-heavy products
  • Background selling into finance operations, revenue operations, supply chain, healthcare operations, or procurement teams
  • Familiarity with MEDDICC, Command of the Message, Challenger, SPICED, or another value-based sales framework
  • Experience in a founder-led or early-stage GTM motion
  • Consulting, solutions engineering, or business operations experience before moving into sales

Why SolZero

  • You get to define the first repeatable SolZero sales motion instead of inheriting one.
  • Every deal you close turns into a real production deployment, not shelfware or an internal experiment.
  • You'll work directly with founders, strategists, and engineers to shape packaging, pricing, ICP, and vertical playbooks.
  • The best customer insights will become new SolZero agent patterns and deployment offers.
