Account Executive (First GTM Hire)
Mura
New York, NY - Hybrid
About Us:
Mura is an early stage startup building order-to-cash technology for commercial HVAC providers. In a highly fragmented industry, the operational burden of managing orders and invoices across emails, phone calls, and third-party portals is cumbersome and expensive for field service providers. Mura’s mission is to leverage AI, integrations, and automation to speed up the order-to-cash process by connecting these systems, effectively removing barriers to efficient invoicing, payment, and customer service. Ultimately, we want to help HVAC providers get paid faster.
Mura’s co-founders previously started LeafLink, which was backed by investors including Founders Fund, Lerer Hippeau, and Thrive Capital. The b2b cannabis marketplace now moves over half of the wholesale cannabis orders in the U.S. ($20B+). The founders are passionate about b2b order management, with over a decade of experience in the sector. We’re building a team of Type A, driven, and direct overachievers – and we’re excited to bring on a first GTM hire who will add to our energetic, results-oriented culture.
Role Description
As the first sales hire, you will play a pivotal role in driving our revenue growth by selling Mura’s technology to commercial HVAC service providers. You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end sales process, from prospecting to close, and initially, ensuring customer satisfaction once onboarded. Given we are an early stage startup, your sales process will require hard work, perseverance, and creativity: but ultimately, your ability to build revenue will be a key part of Mura’s growth story. You’ll collaborate closely with our co-founders and leadership team to build the company’s first go-to-market motion, including making key decisions about sales process & strategy, product positioning, and our GTM tech stack. Similarly, you will serve as a critical ‘voice of the customer’ in key product decisions.
This role is a fit for you if you are a scrappy, high-energy and positive self-starter. A great candidate will enjoy building something new with a small and mighty team, is interested in influencing GTM strategy, and most importantly, gets excited by delivering on revenue to fuel the company’s success.
