Account Executive — AI Agents

We are seeking an exceptional Account Executive for our AI Agents team, based in South Africa. This role is designed for a full-cycle SMB closer who excels in running discovery calls, delivering demos, and closing deals independently. Unlike traditional SDR or enterprise relationship management positions, this role emphasizes agility and effectiveness in selling recurring B2B software directly to owners and operators.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of closing deals quickly, confidently asking for business, negotiating under pressure, and structuring deals without relying on discounting. With deals typically ranging from $300 to $650+ per month and often closed within one or two calls, your ability to communicate value through business outcomes and ROI will be essential.

As a key member of our sales team, you will engage directly with US business owners, managing interruptions and objections while maintaining control over sales conversations. Your reliability will be crucial; punctuality for all booked calls, proactive communication, and accurate reporting in CRM are non-negotiable expectations.
