Account Executive

About the Role

Ravenna is looking for a Account Executive to own the sales process from end to end and help build our go to market motion from the ground up.

This is an early role on the team. You will work directly with the founders to define how we sell, refine our messaging, and build a repeatable sales motion. You will be responsible for generating pipeline, running the sales process, and closing deals.

This is not a role focused only on closing. You will be expected to prospect, create opportunities, and build relationships with buyers across IT, HR, Security, and Operations teams.

Ravenna sells into complex organizations. You will work with technical and operational stakeholders and help them understand how Ravenna can improve their internal workflows.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building, operates with urgency, and wants to play a central role in shaping a company’s go to market strategy.

Responsibilities

Own the full sales cycle

Manage deals from initial outreach through close and handoff. Run discovery, demos, and negotiations with a focus on driving real business outcomes.

Generate pipeline

Actively prospect and create new opportunities through outbound efforts, events, and creative approaches. Build a consistent pipeline of qualified deals.

Sell to complex organizations

Engage with stakeholders across IT, Security, HR, and Operations. Navigate multi stakeholder buying processes and drive alignment across teams.

Refine messaging and positioning

Work closely with the founders to improve how Ravenna communicates its value. Use insights from conversations to strengthen positioning and sales materials.

Build the sales motion

Help define playbooks, processes, and systems that will scale Ravenna’s sales efforts. Contribute to CRM structure, forecasting, and reporting.

Represent Ravenna externally

Engage with customers, attend events, and build relationships within the market.

About You

Proven sales performance

Experience selling to technical or operational buyers

You have experience selling into IT, Security, or enterprise software environments, or have worked with similar stakeholders.

You understand how to navigate complex organizations and multi stakeholder buying processes.

Builder mindset

You enjoy working in early stage environments where there is no defined playbook. You are comfortable experimenting, learning quickly, and improving systems over time.

Strong communication and discovery skills

You are able to run effective discovery, understand customer pain points, and clearly communicate value.

Ownership and execution

You take responsibility for your pipeline and outcomes. You are organized, disciplined, and focused on results.
