About the job

Who We Are

At Sapien, we are revolutionizing the operations of finance teams in the AI era. Our vision is to create an autonomous CFO—a system that manages company financials comprehensively. Our innovative platform analyzes intricate financial data in real-time, facilitating timely decisions, mitigating costly errors, and unlocking value. We have successfully identified multi-million-dollar discrepancies, preserved countless jobs, and significantly enhanced our clients' financial outcomes.

We collaborate closely with traditional sectors—including manufacturing, healthcare, restaurants, and large enterprises—to gain insights and automate their financial workflows. Situated near Madison Square Park in NYC, we are proud to be supported by General Catalyst, Neo, and leading figures from Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, Ramp, and Stripe, having raised over $9M.

The Role

We are seeking a Founding Account Executive to take ownership of deals from inception to closure, playing a pivotal role in scaling Sapien's revenue engine from the ground up. You will manage the entire sales cycle, from initial conversations to closing deals, while also contributing to our narrative, outbound strategies, and enterprise sales processes.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with our executive team to transform initial successes into a repeatable and scalable sales operation. This involves conducting discovery sessions, product demonstrations, pilot projects, negotiations, closing deals, and defining the sales approach for Sapien—including pricing, packaging, and sales playbooks.

Your Responsibilities

Sales Execution

  • Lead the complete sales cycle from the first meeting to closing.

  • Conduct discovery, demonstrations, pilot programs, and commercial discussions with finance and analytics executives.

  • Oversee the sales pipeline and forecast revenue, taking full responsibility for deals and revenue outcomes.

GTM & Sales Motion

  • Assist in establishing Sapien's sales processes, pricing strategies, packaging, and sales collateral.

  • Collaborate with founders on positioning, messaging, and overall narrative.

  • Engage in pipeline generation initiatives (outbound, events, content) to ensure high-quality pipeline and conversion rates.

Customer & Market Insight

  • Cultivate a deep understanding of finance and analytics workflows as well as contemporary finance technology stacks.

  • Provide structured market insights to engineering, product, and leadership teams, including feedback on pricing, customer objections, and product gaps.

  • Transform early adopters into references, case studies, and opportunities for expansion.
