Our client is an AI SaaS company transforming back-office logistics operations for freight brokers, forwarders, carriers, and shippers. Their AI “digital worker” automates manual workflows (e.g., order entry, quoting, document processing, portal updates) using computer vision, document understanding, and human-like system navigation, integrating into existing tech stacks without heavy lift. The result: faster cycles, fewer errors, and scalable operations without scaling headcount. Backed by top-tier investors with recent Series B funding, they have plans to double their sales team as they build toward category leadership.
The Role
To keep up with demand and capitalize on untapped market potential, they are adding an Commercial Account Executive to the team who will own a high-velocity, outbound-led motion. You’ll partner 1:1 with an SDR, work closely with sales leadership and engineering, and help shape the GTM playbook in a fast-moving, founder-engaged environment.

Ideal Candidate Profile

- Excellent written/verbal communication, especially discovery and demo management with technical partners.
- Office location: San Francisco’s Financial District.

- Support: 1:1 SDR pairing; highly engaged leadership; direct access to engineering for rapid demo iteration.
- Upside: Ability to influence GTM strategy and processes as we scale; path to enterprise as we expand.
