The Role
As an Account Executive, you will sell a customer support platform to early-stage B2B tech companies, largely managing inbound leads and closing sales.
Summary Generated by Built In

Become the fourth AE at Pylon.

We're a startup backed by a16z (Series A), General Catalyst (Seed), and Y Combinator (Pre-Seed), building the next-generation customer support platform.

We replace products like Salesforce Service Cloud ($8.3B/yr) and Zendesk ($1.3B/yr).

We've onboarded 3 AEs in the past six months, and they've been crushing it.

Our pipeline can now support more AEs.

Majority of our pipeline is coming inbound.

You will start by selling mostly high volume deals to early-stage B2B companies (< 500 employees) in tech, though the number of industries and company-sizes that we can sell to is growing quickly as our product matures and expands to eat away at the broader support system market.
