About Devs.ai, an AppDirect subsidiary
Devs.ai is an AI incubator within AppDirect, and its growth is currently outpacing all other business units in the company. Our small team possesses high-level expertise to design products that revolutionize how AI and software solutions are created and deployed.
We operate like a startup backed by the support of a scalable platform. No bureaucracy, no politics. Just brilliant people developing rapidly and tackling complex challenges. Our core products consist of private AI-based workspaces, including AI chat, agent and application development, CLI tools, enterprise search, and much more.
Our story is just beginning, and we are looking for people who want to build something significant.
Your Profile
You have the unique opportunity to join Devs.ai as our very first Senior Account Executive. You will work directly with the founder and General Manager of the business unit, and you will play an essential role in shaping our growth and culture.
You possess a proven track record in sales and have the energy and motivation to build a project from the ground up. In collaboration with the General Manager, the product team, and the Devs.ai sales engineering team, you will identify potential customers, build strong relationships, and guide prospects through their AI journey. You have excellent knowledge of the AI market in the B2B sector, a sharp business sense, and a consultative approach to sales. You listen to customer needs and know how to bridge the gap between their goals and the solutions the Devs.ai platform can provide. You are able to communicate clearly with different audiences, whether they are technical analysts or senior executives – in an environment as dynamic as ours, clarity is essential.
Devs.ai is an agentic AI platform for enterprises and is the fastest-growing business unit at AppDirect, the leader in B2B subscription commerce platforms.
What you will do and what will make you shine
Become an expert in our messaging, our products, our services, and our unique business approach by completing AppDirect's in-depth onboarding and sales training.
Identify and qualify new business opportunities; drive the entire sales process by providing exceptional customer service.
Sell the AppDirect Devs.ai platform and, in parallel, identify cross-selling opportunities for the full range of AppDirect products and services, in collaboration with sales specialists.
Implement a sector/territory plan to ensure the continuous growth of your sector and enable you to exceed your monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets.
Coordinate the internal resources necessary to close new business opportunities.
Represent AppDirect to customers, traveling if necessary and interacting at all levels of the organization.

5+ years of experience as an Account Executive within a software solutions company, with a track record of exceptional performance, regularly meeting or exceeding set targets.
Bachelor's degree in Arts or Science required.
Excellent ability to present compelling value propositions and attractive ROI in complex environments to a wide range of stakeholders, including technical experts and senior executives.
Good knowledge of the AI sector in a B2B context: you don't need to be an engineer, but you must be able to confidently present AI products and their practical applications.
Experience managing complex sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders, from initial contact to contract signature.
Excellent written and oral communication skills; you know how to simplify a complex solution into a clear and impactful sales pitch that aligns with the customer's objectives.
Ability to navigate easily in a dynamic and constantly evolving environment, where priorities change and strategy is still being defined.
Entrepreneurial spirit, reputation for integrity and accountability, and excellent sense of ethics within a team context.
