Founding Account Executive - Recruiting Technology

Alivio Search Partners is recruiting a Founding Account Executive for a confidential software company that builds a candidate sourcing platform for recruiting teams. You would be the company's first Account Executive and its first dedicated seller: a rare chance to build a sales function from day one rather than inherit one. This is a hands-on, build-from-scratch seat. You run your own outbound, find the buyers who need a sourcing platform today, and own each deal from first conversation to signed customer. What you learn in the market goes straight back to the team and shapes the marketing funnel and messaging. You report directly to the Head of Product & Commercial, so you work side by side with the leader who sets priorities, with real influence over how the sales motion takes shape. The company recently repositioned from an applicant tracking system to a sourcing platform (it continues to offer ATS and HR tools), and inbound conversations have been closing faster since the shift. The role has a clear path to Head of Go-to-Market as the commercial team grows. The advertised base salary is $60,000 to $100,000 per year plus commission, with target OTE of up to $220,000. The commission plan is still being finalized and will be shared during the recruiting process; earnings are not guaranteed. The role is fully remote and US-based, with candidates based in Texas and New York preferred and other locations considered. The process is quick: a confidential conversation with Alivio, a working session with the company that includes practice problems, then a fast offer decision. Apply with your resume and a short summary of your closed-won results or outbound prospecting track record. Employer details will be shared during the recruiting process.
