The Role: Junior Account Executive

We’re looking for a Junior Account Executive to help scale our reach and deepen our impact. In this full-cycle role, you’ll drive outreach, shape our messaging, and close meaningful partnerships with platform teams at leading companies.

You’ll work across the entire sales funnel — from crafting creative campaigns to leading discovery calls — while collaborating closely with our content, community, and services teams.

This is an ideal role for someone who’s proactive, curious, and excited to experiment. We are a remote-first team and value flexibility across time zones, with some US coverage preferred.

What You’ll Do

• Build and manage a pipeline of high-quality inbound and outbound leads

• Craft thoughtful, personalized outreach via email, LinkedIn, events, and other channels

• Lead engaging discovery conversations to understand technical pain points and align our offerings

• Design and run lean outreach campaigns that drive real engagement

• Collaborate with internal teams to refine our messaging and positioning

• Suggest content ideas (e.g., webinars, guides, playbooks) to support your outreach efforts

• Continuously improve your workflow using AI tools and a learning-first approach

• Track, measure, and iterate on your performance to drive continuous growth

What You’ll Bring

• 1–3 years of experience in B2B sales, partnerships, or growth (SDR, AE, Growth Marketer, etc.)

• A strong interest in developer tools, platform engineering, or cloud-native tech

• Excellent communication skills — both written and verbal

• A self-starter mindset: experimental, resourceful, and action-oriented

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams

• Familiarity with tools like HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Clay, Amplemarket, or similar

Bonus Points

• Experience at a startup or in a fast-moving, cross-functional team

• Background in B2B SaaS, DevOps, or technical infrastructure

• A track record of using AI to streamline sales or marketing workflows

• Comfortable engaging with engineers and technical decision-makers

• You’ve interacted with our content or attended PlatformCon
