About the role:

We're looking for a Product-Led Account Executive to join our growing GTM Account Executive team. This is a unique opportunity for a seller who thrives in a PLG environment and is excited to close inbound, self-serve, and commercial contracts. You’ll play a key role in converting high-intent users into paying customers and helping them scale usage across their teams.

Joining as a founding member of the GTM Account Executive team means you're not just selling — you're shaping the future of the company. You’ll play a critical role in building sales motion from the ground up, influencing strategy, messaging, and customer experience. Your input directly impacts product direction and go-to-market fit, and your wins set the benchmark for future hires. This is a rare opportunity to leave your mark, operate with autonomy, and grow alongside the business — not just in title, but in trajectory and impact.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own and close inbound deals from high-intent users (e.g. trial signups, pricing inquiries, product questions)

  • Expand usage within existing accounts by identifying cross-functional needs and upsell opportunities

  • Collaborate with Support and Success teams to turn reactive questions into revenue moments

  • Conduct discovery calls and product demos for self-serve and mid-market users

  • Develop a deep understanding of customers' needs, pain points, and objectives to tailor Captions solutions effectively

  • Collaborate closely with internal teams like Customer Success, Marketing, and Product, to optimize the sales process and ensure a seamless customer experience.

  • Meet and exceed sales targets and performance metrics, including monthly quotas and conversion rates.

  • Stay informed about industry trends, competitive landscape, and product developments to effectively position Captions in the AI Video tools space

Requirements:

  • 2–4 years of experience in sales —ideally in a PLG or SaaS environment

  • Comfortable owning a quota and full sales cycle with a consultative approach

  • Strong product intuition—able to understand technical features and communicate value clearly

  • Experience handling inbound volume and closing “land and expand” deals

  • Proactive, customer-centric, and scrappy—this is a startup, not a call center

  • Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and manage time effectively in a fast-paced, target-driven environment

  • You have a results-oriented mindset with a passion for driving revenue growth and delivering exceptional customer experiences

  • Bonus Points: Familiarity with video tools, creator platforms, or AI products

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans

  • 401K with employer match

  • Commuter Benefits

  • Catered lunch multiple days per week

  • Dinner stipend every night if you're working late and want a bite!

  • Doordash DashPass subscription

  • Health & Wellness Perks (Talkspace, Kindbody, One Medical subscription, HealthAdvocate, Teladoc)

  • Multiple team offsites per year with team events every month

  • Generous PTO policy
