Understand their challenges and position PeakMetrics’ AI-driven narrative intelligence as the answer, using value-based selling. - Partnership with an SDR. Work closely with a dedicated SDR, who has a dotted-line relationship to you, to build and qualify pipeline together. Help them sharpen their craft. - Events and conferences.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR You are a proven closer who builds your own pipeline and does not wait for a process to be handed to you. You are energized by complex, high-value deals, and you are comfortable in a company where the sales motion is still taking shape. - 3+ years in a closing role. You have carried a quota as an Account Executive or similar role, with a consistent record of meeting or exceeding your targets. - Proven ability to create your own pipeline. You have a track record of sourcing, qualifying, and closing opportunities you generated yourself. - A self-starter. You set your own priorities and move deals forward without close direction. - Adaptability. You thrive when priorities shift, processes are still being defined, and you are expected to help figure out what works. - Startup experience. Strongly preferred. You understand the pace, ambiguity, and ownership that come with selling for an early-stage company. - Complex B2B sales skill. You have a strong command of consultative, value-based selling to senior decision-makers, with multiple stakeholders and longer sales cycles. - Clear, confident communication. You can explain a sophisticated AI product concisely, in terms of business outcomes. - Nice to have: Enterprise selling experience; experience leading or mentoring other sellers; experience selling to communications, PR, or crisis management leaders; and familiarity with narrative intelligence, threat intelligence, media monitoring, or reputation risk. BENEFITS - Remote-first. Do your best work from wherever you are in the U.S. Remote is how we operate by default, not an exception. - Health and retirement. Health insurance, a 401(k), and other benefits that support you beyond the workday. - Flexible schedule and unlimited time off.

Real opportunities for professional growth and development, starting with the chance to build a new function from the ground up. - A culture worth joining.
