Founding Account Executive

About Blaze

We’re building the world’s first agentic marketing platform around a simple belief: the world doesn’t need more AI slop. It needs more human taste, judgment, and creativity. Blaze is built to amplify those qualities, using AI to help small teams create extraordinary marketing that drives real growth at a fraction of the cost of working with an agency.

With Blaze, customers can spin up new channels quickly, create high-quality marketing content, and publish across ads, video, social, blog, and email from one place, with results that compound over time.

Blaze has served tens of thousands of small business owners and growing teams. Now, we’re scaling the platform and our team as we work toward serving millions of customers.

That's where you come in: we're hiring our first Account Executive to execute and optimize the playbook — how we sell, who we sell to, and drive growth.

About the role

We’re looking for our first Account Executive to help shape our outbound motion. This is a rare opportunity to join early, work directly with the founders, and have a visible impact on the Blaze, the future of autonomous marketing.

You’ll be joining at the precipice of scale — right as inbound demand, product maturity, and brand momentum are converging. The foundation is built, the market signal is strong, and now we’re ready to turn that traction into predictable revenue.

This isn't your average AE role:

• High impact: You’ll define how we sell and who we sell to.

• Direct access: Work side-by-side with the founders every day.

• Upside: Competitive base salary + meaningful equity.

• Timing: Join right as we shift from early traction to rapid growth — when your work will shape the entire go-to-market engine.

• Speed: We move fast, iterate quickly, and back ideas that drive results.

Specifically you'll:

• Own the full sales cycle — from qualifying inbound leads to closing new customers.

• Build and manage a healthy pipeline, experimenting with outbound where it makes sense.

• Partner directly with our CEO and COO on pricing, positioning, and deal strategy.

• Work closely with our Growth team to refine messaging and surface patterns from the field.

• Develop a repeatable sales process — how we demo, follow up, and convert.

• Capture and relay product feedback to help shape the roadmap.

About you

At Blaze, how we work is as important as what we build. We're on a mission to build a brand that becomes an beloved idea, and the culture we create together is how that happens.

We move faster, practice end to end ownership, and care more deeply about our work compared to 99% of other companies. Blaze is a high-results, high-growth environment where constant feedback about the work fuels progress for our customers. If you're wildly ambitious, proactive, and driven to build something meaningful, you’ll thrive here.

We love to hire people who:

1. Care deeply about their work. You can't help but to be all in, and you're ready to swing big to make things happen, no matter what it takes!

2. Are amazingly competent. You move fast, crush complexity, master the unknown, and power through anything.

3. Are hyper structured thinkers and communicators. You’re often right, crave feedback, and write like a pro → clear, data-driven, and to the point.

4. Move faster than anyone they know. You set bold timelines, crush them, and move faster than anyone - never letting process slow you down.

5. Have professional maturity. You stay calm, assume good intent, and keep work fun - while building strong, easy relationships.

Experiences that set you apart:

• 4+ years of full-cycle experience in advertising or digital agency sales with a track record of exceeding quota.

• Proven track record of closing deals and growing long-term client relationships.

• A builder’s mindset — comfortable creating process where there isn’t one yet.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills — you can connect the dots between product and impact.

• Resourceful, data-minded, and comfortable experimenting to find what works.

Skills that make you extraordinary:

• Resourceful and adaptable. You're comfortable building and iterating sales processes from scratch, being proactive, and result-oriented.

• Strong understanding of marketing, content, or creative SaaS products and how they drive customer outcomes.

• Takes ownership end-to-end. You can design and execute outbound campaigns, including prospecting, outreach, and follow-ups.

• Analytical mindset. You can track metrics, interpret patterns, and optimize strategies.

• Excellent communication and storytelling. You're able to clearly articulate value and simplify complex ideas.

At Blaze, we welcome people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. Join us.

Our Commitment to You

We’re building a space where you can do exceptional work for decades. We commit to fostering a culture where work feels joyful, rewarding, and sustainable—a place where people are valued not just for what they do, but for who they are.

What you'll get from us:
