SUMMARY As an Account Executive at Dust, you’ll help shape how companies adopt AI at work by bringing our platform to digital-native startups and larger enterprises alike. You’ll drive new business across both Enterprise (six-figure+) and MidMarket ($50–75K) segments, working in a lean, fast-moving environment where you’ll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close. This is an opportunity to help define how AI-native sales teams operate. As a GenAI-native company, Dust is rethinking not only what software can do for customers, but also how modern go-to-market teams work with AI at the core. You’ll partner closely with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to help customers transform how work gets done through custom AI agents connected to their internal systems and knowledge. You’ll contribute to building a new category from the ground up in an environment that values ownership, curiosity, speed, and strong execution. WHAT YOU'LL DO Own the full sales cycle for Enterprise and MidMarket accounts - Prospect and qualify opportunities through self-generated outbound efforts and inbound demand - Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder buying committees across 2–6 month sales cycles - Close six-figure deals while maintaining strong pipeline coverage and forecasting discipline - Build strategic relationships with senior stakeholders and identify expansion opportunities within target accounts Build and establish US sales motions - Contribute to repeatable sales playbooks, processes, and best practices as we scale the US business - Share learnings and market insights that help shape pricing, messaging, and go-to-market strategy - Explore creative approaches to customer acquisition, events, and market expansion - Operate effectively in a lean, fast-moving environment where experimentation and iteration are encouraged Drive creative, resourceful selling in a lean environment - Master product positioning and deliver compelling demos independently - Design and run paid pilot programs alongside Solutions Engineers - Develop land-and-expand strategies and target account plans for large tech companies Collaborate cross-functionally to accelerate customer success - Partner closely with Solutions Engineers on technical discovery and demonstrations - Work with Customer Success on seamless account handoffs and expansion opportunities - Partner cross-functionally to ensure a strong customer experience from first conversation through deployment REQUIREMENTS At Dust, we evaluate candidates across three dimensions: Aptitude, Attitude, and Agency. APTITUDE - 5+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding quota - Proven success closing six-figure deals in complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles - Strong outbound prospecting skills and the ability to build pipeline independently - Experience selling complex or technical products to senior stakeholders and technical buyers - Ability to quickly understand new technologies and translate them into business value for customers - Experience operating successfully in lean, fast-moving environments with limited support infrastructure ATTITUDE - Deeply curious about AI, technology, and how work is changing - Growth-minded and eager to continuously learn, adapt, and improve your craft - Excited by ambiguity and energized by building in environments where not everything is fully defined - Highly proactive and resourceful; you find ways forward rather than waiting for perfect conditions - Collaborative and low ego; you care about team success as much as individual performance AGENCY - Take ownership end-to-end and focus on outcomes rather than simply completing tasks - Identify gaps and opportunities without being asked, then proactively drive solutions forward - Comfortable experimenting with new approaches and iterating quickly based on feedback and results - Operate with urgency and strong execution while maintaining good judgment You should still consider applying even if you don’t meet every requirement above. We care deeply about potential, curiosity, and determination, and we know exceptional people don’t always fit neatly into a checklist. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS - Competitive compensation: $250K–$320K OTE (50/50 split, ramped quota of $1.3M annually) - Significant equity package in a Sequoia-backed startup - Relocation support - Health insurance for you and your dependents - New MacBook Pro or Linux machine, monitor, keyboard, etc. - Beautiful office in the heart of San Francisco or NYC - Opportunity to travel to Paris and work with the EU team multiple times a year - Regular team events and offsite LOCATION We're prioritizing building our team with an in-person culture at our offices in Paris, London, San Francisco, and New York because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together. We have an office-first culture. Some of the best things about building at Dust are the energy, the fast decisions, and the unexpected conversations that unlock a hard problem, which happen because we are in the same room. Being together is not a formality, it is how we do our best work, and it is something we actively protect. That said, we hire people with strong judgement and we extend that trust to how they manage their time. When working from home makes more sense for what you need to get done that day, we trust you to make that call. WHY DUST The models are powerful enough. What's missing is the product layer where AI meets how companies actually work. That's what we're building: the infrastructure that lets any team turn scattered knowledge and tools into coordinated execution with agents they build, own, and run themselves. We use Dust ourselves every day. We get to shape how humans and agents collaborate while solving our own problems with the product we ship. That loop is rare, and it's why we move fast. If you're excited about defining a new category and want to join a determined team of optimists who focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously, we'd love to talk. Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
