Founding Account Executive

San Francisco

Role: Founding AE
Location: US (preferably SF Bay Area) 
Function: Sales 
Type: Full-time

About the Opportunity

We’re looking for our first sales hire — a true builder who wants to join early and help shape the future of our GTM engine. This isn’t a traditional AE role where you follow a set process. This is a founding sales role, where you’ll define the process.

You’ll work closely with our CEO to establish the sales motion for Von — by Rattle, experimenting, refining, and learning what drives impact. You’ll own the full sales cycle and build trusted relationships with revenue leaders across RevOps, Sales, and CRO teams.

As we grow, you’ll naturally step into sales leadership, becoming our first sales manager and helping build the team. We’re looking for someone who is competitive, curious, and motivated by the opportunity to create — not just execute.

 

About Von — by Rattle

Von is an AI data scientist for revenue teams. Our customers include VP RevOps, Sales Leaders, and CROs at companies ready to adopt AI tools that genuinely improve outcomes — not just generate noise.

We’re early, we’re moving fast, and we’re seeing meaningful traction. If the idea of joining at this stage excites you, you’ll fit right in.


What You’ll Do

  • Own the entire sales cycle: prospecting, discovery, demo, close, expansion

  • Build strong relationships with revenue leaders (VP RevOps, CROs, VP Sales) and position yourself as a trusted advisor

  • Collaborate directly with our CEO and VP of Marketing to refine messaging, positioning, and GTM strategy

  • Showcase Von’s value creatively — great demos won’t follow a script

  • Bring customer insights back into product and GTM to help influence what we build


You’re a Great Fit If You

  • Have 4–5 years of B2B SaaS selling experience, ideally within the GTM (RevOps/Sales tech) space

  • Have sold at an early-stage startup before and are energized by building from zero to one

  • Know how to have real conversations about pain, outcomes, and business value — not just pitch features

  • Want a clear path into sales leadership and the opportunity to build a team

  • Are comfortable using AI tools (or excited to learn) — including Von for Salesforce updates, research, pipeline planning, and workflow efficiency


Why Join Us

  • Build something truly new in GTM AI

  • Work directly with leadership and influence company direction

  • Huge ownership, high visibility, and outsized impact

  • Clear path toward becoming our first sales manager

  • Join early, grow with us, and help shape the future of Rattle’s AI product line

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
