About the job

About Granola

At Granola, we are committed to developing innovative tools that enhance human productivity and cognitive capabilities. What started as an AI-powered notepad for managing back-to-back meetings has evolved into a collaborative workspace and a second brain for teams. Granola spreads intuitively within organizations, often beginning with a senior leader and rapidly expanding across various teams.

Currently, Granola is trusted by some of the fastest-growing and most prestigious companies globally, including Vercel, Cursor, Lovable, and Decagon.

With our origins in London, we are now primarily serving a U. S. customer base. To facilitate this growth, we have established our San Francisco office as the cornerstone of our North American market strategy.

Role Overview

As an Account Executive focusing on high-velocity sales, you will play a pivotal role in building our sales motion from the ground up, transforming product-led interest into tangible revenue.

This position emphasizes speed, volume, and continuous learning. You will manage a large number of sales opportunities, engage in rapid feedback cycles, and cultivate the skills necessary to become a top-notch closer over time. Instead of merely following an established playbook, you will have the chance to help shape it.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a substantial volume of inbound and product-driven sales opportunities.
• Quickly and efficiently convert engaged free users into paid accounts.
• Own fast-paced sales cycles from initial contact to closure.
• Generate a robust pipeline through innovative outbound strategies and self-sourced leads.
• Continuously test and refine messaging, positioning, and conversion strategies.
• Collaborate closely with product and growth teams to share insights from customer interactions.
• Contribute to establishing a strong foundation for our future mid-market and enterprise sales teams.
