About the job

Founding Account Executive

At Terac, we empower teams to achieve rapid research breakthroughs through our innovative marketplace connecting verified experts to research opportunities. Our mission is to develop intelligent agents that efficiently recruit, verify, and match thousands of experts with hundreds of research opportunities.

Partnering with leading enterprises and supported by top-tier investors, we're on a trajectory to transform the research landscape.

The Role

We are seeking a passionate and driven Founding Account Executive who is eager to take ownership of significant product elements, work at a fast pace, and contribute to the future of human knowledge.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with our CEO to design, develop, and scale the systems essential for Terac's growth, aiming for a valuation of $100 billion. Your responsibilities will range from crafting our sales strategy to executing marketing campaigns and establishing partnerships with leading companies.

What You’ll Do

  • Full-Cycle Sales: Oversee inbound leads, conduct product demonstrations, and close deals as the primary revenue driver.

  • Customer Success: Manage post-sale relationships, onboard new customers, and ensure they derive long-term value from our platform.

  • Growth & Community Engagement: Represent Terac at industry conferences and events, and cultivate relationships within the market research and product communities to enhance brand awareness.

About You

You are a proactive individual who may have considered starting your own venture or may do so in the future. You are hands-on, resourceful, and deeply committed to creating something impactful.

Must-haves

  • Generalist Mindset: Comfortable transitioning between selling, customer support, and product evangelism.

  • Revenue-Focused: Prioritize initiatives that drive growth and customer retention; this role is not operational-focused.

  • Scrappy & Autonomous: As the first go-to-market hire, you will help create our playbook and thrive in an unstructured environment.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience in early-stage startups or growth/market entry roles.

  • Familiarity with the industry or experience selling to research and product teams.

Compensation

  • In-office presence required six days per week.

  • Equity options vested over four years.

  • Performance-based bi-annual bonuses.

About Terac

Terac is at the forefront of revolutionizing research methodologies, connecting organizations with verified experts to facilitate and expedite their research initiatives. We aim to create an ecosystem where knowledge and expertise flow seamlessly to enable groundbreaking discoveries.
