Founding AE at Maintouch, a fast-growing AI-powered marketing automation startup focused on SEO and AI SEO. Own full sales cycle, build pipeline from scratch, and help scale a repeatable, founder-led sales motion in a 50/50 comp split environment.
Responsibilities
- Own the full sales cycle end-to-end. Prospecting, outreach, discovery, demo, negotiation, close. The whole thing is yours.
- Build pipeline from scratch. Cold outbound, warm inbound, creative angles — whatever it takes.
- Run demos that actually land. You'll understand the product deeply enough to show founders exactly how Maintouch solves their #1 problem.
- Help build the sales machine. Document what works, kill what doesn't. Turn scrappy founder-led selling into a repeatable, scalable motion.
- Work directly with the founder and marketing to sharpen positioning, refine ICP, and figure out what messaging converts.
- Talk to customers constantly. You're the closest person to the market. Feed insights back into product, marketing, and everything we do.
- Close deals that directly generate millions in pipeline a month.
Qualifications
- Has sold into startups or SMBs and knows how to move fast with founders who don't have time to waste.

- Comfortable sourcing your own pipeline. You don't need a BDR team or a marketing machine to hit your number.
- Genuinely curious about AI and what it's doing to marketing. You don't need to be technical, but you need to get it and get excited about it.
- Absolute grinder.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.
