Why Auctor

Auctor is building the AI layer for professional services and software implementation. Think of us as the brain

behind the best solution engineers, forward-deployed engineers, and onboarding teams - automating the

discovery, design, and decision-making that powers $400B+ in services work. We’re going after one of the

biggest software categories of the decade.

About The Role

Auctor is hiring its Founding Account Executive to build the sales motion from the ground up and establish the

company's earliest and most important relationships with Systems Integrators. This is a career-defning role for a

builder who wants to go beyond the standard sales playbook. You will not just be closing deals — you will be

defning how Auctor goes to market, shaping the narrative for both business and technical audiences, and

establishing the company's footprint with major Systems Integrators. You will work directly with the CRO and

partner with Marketing, Product, Engineering, and Deployment teams. This role is on-site in New York City, 5

days per week.

process from prospecting to close — average deal size ~$75K, average sales cycle ~120 days

  • Run end-to-end discovery and standard product demos for both technical and business audiences without

relying on a sales engineer for every call

  • Build repeatable sales motions, messaging frameworks, and qualifcation standards that will serve as the

foundation for the sales organization as it scales

  • Operate as an AI-frst seller, using modern agents and automation tools (including Auctor's own platform) to

eliminate low-leverage administrative, research, and prospecting work

  • Partner with the CRO, Marketing, Product, and Engineering to translate market feedback into positioning

improvements and roadmap input

  • Establish early logos, lighthouse customers, and long-term SI relationships that will defne Auctor's market

position

  • Maintain clean HubSpot data and accurate forecasting.
