Account Executive
AI Summary
Account Executive at an early-stage fintech, running end-to-end sales cycles for a new AI-native close management solution, owning discovery, demos, proof-of-value, and deal closure with finance buyers.
About this role
LEDGE'S MISSION is to reinvent how finance teams work by building AI agents that actually do the work, not just automate it.
We began with an industry-leading reconciliation platform used by top finance teams. We are now broadening our scope to develop a completely AI-native close management solution, built upon our strong existing platform that is already competitive with leading industry offerings. Our agents autonomously prepare, reconcile, validate, and manage the close end-to-end with finance-grade accuracy and transparency. We're designing new tools for the Office of the CFO: a scalable, trustworthy data pipeline combined with autonomous AI workflows and a clean, consumer-grade experience.
The Role
About the Role
We’re hiring an Account Executive to help scale Ledge’s go-to-market. You’ll close deals, but you’ll also shape how we sell: messaging, discovery, proof-of-value, pricing feedback loops, and the repeatable playbook that future AEs will inherit.
You’ll run deals end-to-end with a consultative, no-BS approach that resonates with Controllers and CFOs. You’ll operate with high autonomy, work directly with the founders, and help define what “great” looks like in sales at Ledge.
Responsibilities
Own the full sales cycle: discovery → demo → proof-of-value → close
Lead structured discovery with finance teams; translate workflows and pain into a crisp solution narrative
Partner closely with solutions and product to run proofs-of-value using real customer data
Create signal from the chaos: maintain clean Hubspot hygiene, run your pipeline, and forecast responsibly
Be the voice of the customer internally: what’s landing, what’s not, and why
What We're Looking For
3-6 years of full-cycle SaaS sales experience, with a track record of carrying and hitting quota operating independently in ambiguity (early-stage energy required)
Proven ability to convert pipeline and win deals
Comfortable selling a new category / new product where the playbook is still being written
Credible with finance buyers (Controller/CFO) - experience selling into accounting/finance is a plus, not a must
You’re excited to sell mid-market (not massive $250k+ enterprise contracts) and you know how to run a rigorous process
Great communicator: crisp, curious, structured, and confident without being “salesy”
