About The Position

Knowledge Coop is hiring a full-cycle Account Executive to generate pipeline, close new business, and help shape our go-to-market motion as we continue to grow. This is a builder role. You will own the full sales cycle from outbound prospecting through close, with a focus on new logo acquisition. You should enjoy self-sourcing pipeline, learning from the market, running consultative discovery, delivering demos, and helping improve how we sell. This role is best suited for someone who wants ownership and impact in a growing company. It is not the best fit for someone looking for a fully mature sales organization with SDR support, large inbound lead volume, or established enterprise sales playbooks. Most prospecting, discovery, demos, and customer interactions are conducted virtually through phone, email, and video meetings. Occasional travel for industry conferences, customer meetings, and company events may be required.
