Founding Account Executive at VC-backed Enterprise AI Startup

About the Company

This opportunity is with a venture capital backed AI startup focusing on enterprise solutions, particularly in the AI call center domain. Their technology is actively utilized by prominent telecommunications and government clients across the Asia-Pacific region.

Role Overview

As the inaugural sales hire, the Founding Account Executive will fully manage the end-to-end sales process for an established AI call center platform, engaging complex stakeholders across APAC. This strategic position reports directly to the technical founders and offers significant commission-based earnings along with the chance to shape the commercial approach from inception.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain a high-level network of contacts in telecom, governmental, and enterprise sectors in Singapore, Hong Kong, and wider APAC.
• Conduct detailed discovery meetings, deliver compelling product demonstrations, and cultivate a strong sales pipeline from outbound and inbound prospects.
• Collaborate closely with the founders to design sophisticated proposal structures and oversee the entire sales workflow from initial engagement to closing contracts.

Candidate Profile

• Minimum of two years’ experience in enterprise B2B sales, preferably in SaaS, telecommunications, or voice AI infrastructure industries.
• Established and active network of key decision-makers within the APAC region, with proven ability to independently arrange meetings with commercial or operations leaders.
• Strong technical understanding of large language models and voice architecture to effectively lead technical discussions without constant engineering input.

Compensation and Location

Salary ranges from $30,000 to $40,000 annually with on-target earnings (OTE) between $70,000 and $100,000. The role is based onsite in Singapore or Hong Kong.

Why This Position Stands Out

• Opportunity to sell a product already in live operation handling significant call volumes for major regional organizations rather than early prototypes.
• Join a well-capitalized startup backed by leading global technology investors during an important growth phase.
• High-impact founding member role with direct access to the technical leadership and minimal corporate bureaucracy.
