Account Executive - AI Native

About WorkOS 🚀

WorkOS builds modern developer tools and APIs that make it easy for companies to become Enterprise Ready. Our platform powers authentication, identity, authorization, and other critical infrastructure that developers need to securely scale their products to large organizations.

We recently raised a $100M Series C, valuing the company at $2B, led by Meritech and Sapphire with participation from Greenoaks, Craft, Abstract, and Audacious. WorkOS powers enterprise features for many of the fastest-growing AI companies, including OpenAI, Cursor, and Perplexity, Sierra, and Plaid.

As AI reshapes software, WorkOS is at the frontier of Human and Agent Authentication, Identity, and Access Control helping companies answer a new critical question: who are your agents, and what are they allowed to do? Our fast-growing customer base includes hundreds of modern software companies building the next generation of enterprise-ready products.

About the role

WorkOS has a strong bottoms-up, developer-first GTM motion and we’re building the next chapter of our sales team. As an Account Executive, you’ll own pipeline and revenue from end-to-end, selling to product-minded developers and technical leaders at fast-growing companies.

This role is designed for high-agency sellers who thrive in early GTM environments, love being in the market, and want to experiment with new ways to build pipeline, especially with AI-native workflows. You’ll work closely with Solutions Engineers and customer-facing engineers to deliver a technical, consultative buying experience.

Responsibilities ✔️

Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, qualification, discovery, demos, closing, and expansion

Build pipeline through a mix of outbound, inbound follow-up, and in-person events (especially in SF and New York)

Develop internal champions by selling to a technical audience with a developer-first approach

Run experiments to improve conversion across top-of-funnel, evaluation, and close (messaging, targeting, tooling, events, sequences)

Partner closely with Solutions Engineers to drive evaluations forward and create delightful technical buyer experiences

Maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene, forecasting, and reporting

Share feedback from the field to improve product, positioning, and GTM strategy

Qualifications

Experience in SaaS sales or a strong foundation in a quota-carrying role; comfort operating in ambiguity

Strong communication and relationship-building skills with technical stakeholders (engineers, PMs, CTOs)

High agency and competitiveness, you create momentum rather than waiting for it

Comfort using modern tools (AI, automation, enrichment, workflow builders) to increase output and quality

Excited to spend meaningful time in-person with customers and prospects (events, meetings, community)
