Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Enterprise Account Executive roles remain a bellwether position in B2B SaaS, and this one sits at the intersection of enterprise software buying cycles and the current wave of generative AI platforms. The listing points to a product-led entry point, with many prospects arriving via trials or demo requests, which is increasingly common in modern SaaS go-to-market motions. It also reflects the complexity of selling software that can touch multiple functions, where adoption and trust are as important as features.
From a SaaS career perspective, the work builds durable enterprise-selling skills that translate across categories: guiding evaluations, shaping success criteria in trials, and turning early users into internal champions. The emphasis on business case development and navigating legal, security, and procurement aligns with the realities of scaling revenue in enterprise SaaS, especially where solutions are new enough that budget lines may not yet exist.
This role is best suited to a seller who prefers structured deal management and cross-functional coordination, while staying close to product usage during evaluations. It will likely fit someone who enjoys consultative conversations, careful qualification, and creating repeatable process in their own territory, rather than relying solely on outbound volume.

🚀 About WRITER
WRITER is where the world's leading enterprises orchestrate AI-powered work. Our vision is to expand human capacity through superintelligence. And we're proving it's possible – through powerful, trustworthy AI that unites IT and business teams together to unlock enterprise-wide transformation. With WRITER's end-to-end platform, hundreds of companies like Mars, Marriott, Uber, and Vanguard are building and deploying AI agents that are grounded in their company's data and fueled by WRITER's enterprise-grade LLMs. Valued at $1.9B and backed by industry-leading investors including Premji Invest, Radical Ventures, and ICONIQ Growth, WRITER is rapidly cementing its position as the leader in enterprise generative AI.
Founded in 2020 with office hubs in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and London, our team thinks big and moves fast, and we're looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work with AI.
📐 About this role
We’re looking for a collaborative and builder-oriented enterprise sales rep experienced at helping prospective customers at large companies navigate the evaluation, business case development, and procurement of transformative technology.
Your objective will be to help convert enterprise prospects (3K-8K FTE, although tilted towards Fortune 1000) who are active in our trials or who request a sales demo from our website or within our product. While most of your pipeline will come inbound, you'll also be responsible for generating pipeline from ideal customer profile (ICP) accounts within your account set.
Your positivity, sense of curiosity, and ability to create champions from early adopters in the AI space will help shape our entire culture.
This is a hybrid role based out of our London hub. You'll be reporting to our RVP.
