[Hiring] Senior Account Executive @Funded.club

Role Description

As the first dedicated Senior Account Executive, you will build the entire direct sales motion from the ground up. This is a hunter-first role in the early phase — you'll prospect, pitch, and close — but the real differentiator is what happens next. Every account you close is yours to onboard, expand, and grow. You'll be the full customer relationship, not just the closing signature.

• Build and own the full sales pipeline — prospecting, outreach, demos, negotiation, and close
• Farm every account you close: onboarding, adoption, retention, and expansion
• Set up the sales tech stack — CRM, outreach sequences, playbooks — aligned with the CEO
• Refine the ICP and pitch based on what's winning in the market
• Maintain transparent pipeline and revenue forecasting for the leadership team
• Feed customer insight back into the product roadmap through a structured feedback loop

Qualifications

• 3+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience selling to performance marketing agencies, lead gen companies, affiliate networks, or call centers
• Proven track record as a hunter — opening doors, building pipeline, and closing deals
• Comfortable with 2-month sales cycles and multi-stakeholder deals in the $5k–$30k MRR range
• Genuine willingness to farm and grow accounts — not just close and move on
• Deep understanding of performance marketing metrics: CPL, EPC, ROAS, and how buyers in this space measure ROI
• Experience setting up or improving sales infrastructure — CRM, sequences, or playbooks
• Comfortable with ambiguity and the pace of an early-stage environment
• Active user of AI tools to accelerate prospecting, research, and outreach
• Sharp, direct communicator — in writing and on calls
• Fluent English; collaborative team player who works closely with leadership

Requirements

• A background in B2B SaaS sales with direct exposure to the performance marketing or lead generation ecosystem — not just adjacent industries
• 5+ years of total sales experience with visible progression, ideally including time as an early or first sales hire
• Familiarity with affiliate networks, lead gen economics, and call center operations at a level that earns credibility quickly with buyers
• Experience selling communications infrastructure (voice, SMS, CPaaS) is a strong plus — but deep ICP knowledge matters more
• An existing network of contacts in the performance marketing space is a meaningful advantage
• A builder mindset: you've created playbooks, set up CRMs, and run your own testing and iteration — not just executed someone else's motion

Benefits

• Competitive base salary with commission on top for a competitive total package
• Contractor-first engagement with flexibility based on candidate preference
• Fully remote — work from wherever you're most effective
• Direct line to the CEO with genuine autonomy on day-to-day execution
• Early-hire status — significant opportunity to shape the sales function and grow with the company
• Collaborative, international team with leadership across Europe and the UAE
