The Role We're hiring an Associate Account Executive as an entry point into a full‑cycle AE role. This role is built for someone early in their career – either with some SDR experience or switching industries after a short post‑grad stint – who wants to learn sales fundamentals properly and earn their way into closing.

You’ll start by operating in an SDR capacity for 6 months, focused on outbound, qualification, and pipeline creation. If you perform, you’ll be promoted into a full AE role, owning deals end‑to‑end. This is not a “wait your turn” role – progression is performance‑based.

What You’ll Do (Associate AE Phase)

Prospect into target accounts via email, phone, and LinkedIn

Qualify inbound and outbound leads through discovery calls

Book high‑quality meetings with qualified buyers

Partner closely with AEs to ensure strong handoffs and deal context

Learn Air’s ICP, buyer personas, and sales motion deeply

Maintain clean pipeline and activity tracking in Salesforce

Consistently hit activity and pipeline generation goals

What You’ll Do (After Promotion to AE)

Run discovery calls and product demos

Own deals from first conversation through close

Forecast accurately and manage a healthy pipeline

Work cross‑functionally with Marketing, RevOps, and Customer Success

Continue leveling up toward more senior sales responsibilities

What Success Looks Like

Consistent attainment during the SDR phase

Strong conversion from meetings → qualified pipeline

High‑quality discovery and buyer engagement

Coachability and fast iteration based on feedback

Promotion to full AE within 6 months

Requirements Your Experience

0–3 years of experience in SDR/BDR roles, or in a structured, client‑facing, or competitive role (consulting, finance, ops, recruiting, etc.)

Comfortable with outbound and rejection

Curious, driven, and highly coachable

Clear and confident communicator

Organized, metrics‑oriented, and accountable

Interested in building a long‑term career in B2B SaaS sales
