About Us

CRED provides predictive intelligence software that enables enterprises to make data-driven decisions by integrating internal business systems with real-time external market signals. Our platform combines real-time data on 200M+ companies with predictive models to help businesses identify which prospects will convert, which customers might churn, and when competitors are vulnerable.

We're looking for one of our first Account Executives—someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes ownership, and wants to shape not just sales, but the company itself.

What You’ll Do

As an early AE, you'll help build and scale our revenue engine from the ground up. You’ll be responsible for the full sales cycle—from prospecting to close—while helping shape our messaging, strategy, and systems.

  • Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, discovery, demoing, and closing

  • Collaborate closely with founder and product to deliver customer feedback and improve GTM strategy

  • Help define and test ICPs, value props, outbound/email cadences, and objection handling

  • Build pipeline through outbound prospecting and converting qualified inbound leads

  • Maintain accurate pipeline hygiene and forecasting in our CRM (Salesforce)

  • Lay the groundwork for scalable sales processes and playbooks

What We're Looking For

You’re a self-starter with strong instincts and the hunger to win. You’re excited to be hands-on and deeply involved in shaping our GTM function.

  • 2–5 years of sales experience, ideally in a B2B SaaS or startup environment

  • Proven track record of hitting or exceeding quota in a full-cycle role

  • Excellent communication, discovery, and storytelling skills

  • Comfortable with ambiguity and creating structure where none exists

  • Curious, coachable, and energized by the challenge of building from 0 to 1

Why Join Us

  • Be one of the first sales hires and have a direct impact on company growth and strategy

  • Work closely with the founders and leadership team

  • Competitive compensation + meaningful equity

  • Build something from the ground up with a talented and mission-driven team

Compensation Range: $150K - $300K
