Instant is building the world’s first AI-powered marketing manager, allowing ecommerce brands to run their marketing on autopilot. We generate over 30% of a brands annualised revenue today, and we’re on the ambitious mission to become just as important as Meta for an ecommerce brand. After raising $30M+ to date from Blackbird, Hummingbird, Hubspot, etc we are in an exciting hyper-growth phase, expanding the business by over $1M in new revenue every month. We have 4 products in market, entering and hiring in new global regions, raised $30M+ by top VC’s, and we want you to be a critical part of scaling this velocity even further!

Instant is looking for a highly collaborative, strategic, and ambitious Account Executive to join our growing team as we continue to expand across the US. This is a pivotal role focused on leading high-value opportunities, driving new customer acquisition, and deepening Instant’s presence within the e-commerce and online retail space.

As a Account Executive, you’ll bring significant experience selling into online retail businesses and play an integral part in shaping our growth trajectory. You’re a skilled relationship-builder, trusted advisor, and proactive deal-maker who thrives in a fast-moving environment.

  • Manage and grow a portfolio of accounts, building long-term partnerships and delivering measurable value
  • Consistently achieve - and exceed - revenue targets, while identifying new opportunities across multiple channels

What you'll bring:

  • Experience in a B2B MarTech, E-Commerce SaaS, or broader SaaS environment, with a strong track record of selling to online retailers or e-commerce businesses
  • Skilled at managing full-cycle sales processes and confidently closing high-value deals
  • Motivated by ambitious goals and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth setting
  • Highly collaborative, low ego, and open to giving and receiving feedback to keep improving
  • Comfortable with outbound prospecting and always seeking creative ways to connect with new clients
  • Proactive, strategic, and resourceful, with a solutions-oriented mindset

  • Equity in the company - Nobody is a renter. Everyone is an owner, having equity in the company so we can all benefit from our hard work and future success
  • Company Offsite - We always aim to go away at points across the year as a company to celebrate achievements, as well as dig deep together on company strategy, opportunities and the exciting future ahead
  • Leave per year - 20 days of PTO, 11 Federal Holidays and Instant also ensures the end of year shutdown (across Christmas and New Year) is a fully paid break
  • Health Insurance - 100% covered by Instant
