Founding Business Development / Account Executive

Urban Ridge Supplies • New York, NY

About The Position

Closure helps law enforcement search evidence and solve crime. Public servants across the U.S. use Closure to expedite investigations into cold cases, homicides, gang conflicts, sexual assault, and other serious offenses. We’re live with police departments and prosecutors across the country, reducing evidence overload throughout the criminal justice system. Closure is an intentionally tight-knit team of ambitious ex-Palantir and ex-IDF engineers and operators. We operate with a high speed, high integrity, and high autonomy, backed by reputable investors including Y Combinator, CRV, Pathlight, and others.

We’re looking for a gifted Founding Account Executive to work directly with the CEO, Head of Business Operations, and founding team to help spread Closure’s impact. This is not a rest-and-vest or 9-to-5—we are a growing startup delivering incredible outcomes for law enforcement agencies across the U.S. Succeeding at this role will take hunger, elbow grease, and a white-glove approach to succeed. Your work here matters to how AI is adopted by public safety agencies, and the stakes are quite high. Thoughtfulness and integrity are also critical to success. This role will require significant travel to conferences, customer onsites, and more.

Requirements

• You're excited to contribute to public safety and improving the effectiveness of U.S. law enforcement and prosecutors.
• You take responsibility naturally, don't wait for leads to be handed to you, and feel uncomfortable when a deal is slipping or a follow-up is overdue.
• You thrive in early-stage environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet.
• You generate your own pipeline, run a tight cycle, and close. You've hit or exceeded quota in complex B2B or B2G sales.
• You can hold your own with a chief, a CIO, and a line detective in the same meeting—and write the follow-up email that moves the deal forward.
• You're happy to do the "unsexy" work—procurement paperwork, security questionnaires, Saturday follow-ups—if it moves the company forward.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience in law enforcement, federal agencies, or prosecutors' offices is a plus—as is experience selling into those buyers—but not required if you're exceptional.

Responsibilities

• Own every stage of the cycle: outbound, discovery, demo, pilot, procurement, negotiation, and close, post-close touchpoints.
• Co-lead pilots and POCs that convert frontline users into champions.
• Manage CRM hygiene, deal documentation, and transparent communications.
• Generate your own pipeline through outbound, conferences, referrals, and relationships in the law enforcement community.
• Build and maintain a trusted group of decision-makers across police departments, sheriffs' offices, prosecutors’ offices, and federal LEOs.
• Identify and prioritize the agencies most likely to benefit from Closure.
• Navigate the realities of agency buying: RFPs, sole-source justifications, cooperative purchasing vehicles, grant cycles, competing priorities, and security reviews.
• Help define positioning, pricing, and sales motion as the company scales.
• Bring the voice of the customer back to product and engineering—the roadmap will be shaped by what you hear in the field.
• Represent Closure at conferences nationwide (IACP, major chiefs and sheriffs associations, and regional conferences).

Benefits

• We contribute 3% to your 401(k), regardless of your own contribution
• Unlimited PTO
• Health, Dental (Direct or Reimbursed)
• Short- & Long-term Disability Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Discounted Gym & Class Membership
• Support employees through FBI background checks / CJIS clearance process as needed
