The role You'll own a book of mid-market private capital accounts. Smart, sophisticated firms with sharp deal teams and real urgency to rebuild their investment processes around AI. You'll generate, progress, and close pipeline across this segment, running a full book to a high bar. How you close matters as much as how much. You'll sell to some of the sharpest buyers in the market. Deal partners, principals, operating partners, and Heads of Platform at the firms defining private capital. They're rigorous, time-poor, and allergic to fluff, and winning them is the whole game. This is a closing role on a small, high-output team. The motion exists. You'll learn it fast, run it well, and make it sharper. The best Account Executives at Metal are operators in their own right. They prospect with intent, run tight discovery, multi-thread early, and never let a cycle drift. You'll work directly with the CEO and founding team on a business where your wins are felt across the company and will quantifiably help us advance our mission.

You've taken a process from rough to repeatable with minimal coaching, and can show how. * Disciplined at making pain real. You go three layers down. Why does this matter, who actually cares, what breaks if it doesn't get solved. * Strong pipeline generation instincts. You don't wait for leads. You build them. * Forecast discipline. Your number is your number. * Comfort selling to senior, skeptical buyers in demanding environments.
