About Frontdesk

Frontdesk is building AI workers that run customer operations across voice text email and chat. We are starting with the property management industry.

Our AI handles real work across the customer journey from answering inbound calls to following up with leads coordinating workflows and taking action across the systems businesses already use.

Were growing quickly and moving upmarket. Over the last year the size of the contracts weve been closing has grown roughly 10x with several opportunities now reaching six figures and beyond. Youre joining at an ideal stage: weve established repeatability and early playbooks but theyre still young enough for you to meaningfully shape how we scale them.

About the Role

Were hiring our second Account Executive to help build the next stage of our sales organization.

This is a true full-cycle role. Youll own prospecting cold outreach discovery demos follow-up negotiation and close.

Youll initially focus on SMB and lower mid-market customers with most deals around $8K$25K ACV. If youre consistently performing youll have the opportunity to move quickly into larger mid-market and enterprise accounts.

There are no territories. If you find a great account go win it.

Youll have support from SDRs marketing founders and the broader team but youll own your pipeline and your number.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build the playbook. A lot of what our future sales team does will come from what you figure out now.

  • Sell something customers actually care about. AI is fundamentally changing how businesses handle customer operations and were still early in that transition.

Requirements
  • At least 3 years of professional sales experience including a quota-carrying B2B software Account Executive role and a track record of meeting or exceeding quota.

  • Comfortable generating your own pipeline rather than relying entirely on inbound or SDRs.

  • Comfortable selling to both operators and executives.

  • Able to learn a technical product quickly.
