We’re hiring a driven, sharp, high-ownership Account executive who can turn cold curiosity into clear urgency, and conversations into live trials. We run 100+ high-quality demos every month for fast-growing D2C and Shopify brands. In our funnel, the demo is the most critical moment. This role exists to ensure that every demo creates conviction, generates urgency, and carries momentum through to trial activation. This is not a pricing-heavy closer role. It is a craft-driven sales role focused on storytelling, need generation, and follow-through. North Star: Demo Booked → Trial Activations.

• Act as the single account owner from demo → free-trial activation
• Follow up relentlessly and intelligently until the trial is live
• Set success criteria and next steps before the trial starts
• Conduct successful trial activation calls
• Hand off only high-intent, activated accounts to billing team
