🗻 About Valley:

Valley automates the end-to-end appointment-setting process for B2B companies using AI for 1/10 of the cost of using a human. Check us out on Forbes - "Valley is Leveraging Contextual Generative AI For the Sales Industry"


Valley is building an AI SDR that actually works. We believe that to solve the problems in outbound - you need to build a platform guided by sending fewer messages, not more. To achieve this the platform must:

Identify people actively in their buying journey, route / score them based on buying signals, research additional information about them, reason through the best approach angle for an outbound message, copy-write hyper-personalized sequences for them, and send messages to them on the cadence you define.

👀 What We Are Looking For:

We're seeking a visionary Sales Leader to join Valley as our Founding Account Executive. This pivotal role goes beyond traditional sales responsibilities, requiring a dynamic individual who can not only drive revenue but also architect and refine our entire sales motion. As we transition from founder-led sales to a scalable enterprise model, you'll be the cornerstone of our go-to-market strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Sales Execution (50% of role):
  • Manage and close SMB accounts, including early-stage startups, marketing companies, and professional service firms
  • Conduct demo calls and maintain a high close rate (25% )
  • Execute outbound campaigns to refine our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
  • Test and validate pricing models to increase Average Contract Value (ACV)
  1. Sales Process Architecture (50% of role):
  • Design, implement, and continuously improve our sales process from introduction to close
  • Set up and own critical sales infrastructure (CRM, outbound tooling, documentation)
  • Develop systems and playbooks for future sales hires
  • Create and refine strategies for moving upmarket to mid-sized enterprises
  • Establish feedback loops with product and engineering teams to influence the roadmap

The Ideal Candidate:

  • Possesses 3 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, including 2 years in a closing role ($3k-250k deal sizes)
  • Demonstrates a consistent track record of overachievement (100% attainment, Presidents Club, etc.)
  • Brings experience from hyper-growth startups (Seed or Series A exposure is a plus)
  • Embodies the following traits:
  • High agency and autonomy
  • Proactive and creative problem-solver
  • Intelligent and quick learner
  • Natural leader with the ability to command a room
  • Empathetic and highly likable
  • Low ego and willing to get hands dirty
  • High energy and accountability

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute innovative customer acquisition strategies
  • Own communication of customer requests to Customer Experience and Engineering teams
  • Participate actively in product roadmap discussions
  • Test and validate different follow-up cadences
  • Hire, train, and coach future SDRs
  • Manage the handoff process to Customer Success
  • Explore and implement marketing and branding initiatives to drive inbound leads


This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of Valley's sales organization. You'll work closely with the CEO to refine our pitch, messaging, and overall go-to-market strategy. As we scale, you'll transition from SMB focus to leading our enterprise sales efforts, targeting $4k/mo to $20k/mo contracts.

If you're a sales chameleon who can adapt to any situation, have a builder's mentality, and are driven by continuous learning and improvement, we want to hear from you. Join us in creating not just a sales team, but a sales culture that will drive Valley's growth for years to come.
