Account Executive (Acquisition)

The role

You’ll be the face of Lighthouse for new customers, owning the full sales cycle from first cold touch to close. This is a hunter role: you carry a quota, you build your own pipeline, and you’re accountable to outcomes and success. No excuses, just results. Your market is two-sided. You open net-new accounts that fit our ideal customer profile and have never spoken to us, and you turn low-adoption customers who use a single Lighthouse product into full-platform customers. In both cases the goal is the same: the whole commercial platform, not one module. Small, one-off transactions are not what this role is for. You think in terms of the full deal from the first conversation, and you have the patience and the process to run a complex, multi-stakeholder cycle to get there. What makes this different: you won’t do it alone. Lighthouse is deploying an agent AI infrastructure — Enablement, Pre-Sales, and Coaching agents — alongside a modern revenue stack. AI handles the prep, the sequencing, and the pattern recognition so you can focus on what matters — building relationships, running sharp discovery, and closing deals.

What we expect

• 2–5 years in a closing sales role, SaaS experience is a must but hunger and skill matters more than industry tenure.
• A hunter by instinct. You prospect cold, you get past no, and you would rather build your own pipeline than wait for it.
• You think big-deal first. You have turned a small opening into a larger, multi-product sale, and you know how to qualify for full scope without stalling the deal.
• Self-directed, coachable, and driven to continuously improve. You seek feedback on your calls, your pipeline, and your positioning — and act on it within the next deal, not the next quarter.
• You treat AI tools as a core part of your selling motion, not a novelty. You adopt new tooling quickly and bend it to your style, and you expect AI to do your research and sequencing so your time goes into selling.
• Fantastic communicator. You build trust with people you have never met in person, over video and phone, from GMs to the C-suite, and you keep several stakeholders aligned through a longer cycle.
• Experience with MEDDPICC or similar qualification frameworks is a plus, not a requirement. What matters is that you bring discipline and structure to how you run deals.
• Strong business acumen with the ability to sell on value, not price. Confident engaging stakeholders from GMs to C-suite.
• You want to win, and you like it when people notice. You celebrate your wins and your team’s, you prospect when it would be easier not to, you follow up one more time, and you’re not okay with a bad quarter.
