What we’re looking for

• 1–3 years of experience in sales / early AE roles
• Strong intent to become a closing Account Executive
• Ability to think, not just follow scripts
• High ownership. You’re accountable for outcomes, not just activity
• Discipline in follow-ups and pipeline management

• You don’t take rejection personally

Who should NOT apply

• Earn the right to run demos and close deals

(No fixed timeline — progression is performance-driven)
