About OneSchema

Every company needs to receive data from partners and customers. We see an incredible opportunity to be the de-facto data transfer platform for all industries that run on CSV files (hint: it’s all of them). We are a fast-growing startup backed by General Catalyst, Sequoia Capital, and Y Combinator. Our customers range from publicly traded enterprises to cloud 100 startups like Scale AI.

We have an ambitious, intense, fast-paced culture at OneSchema. As a rapidly growing seed-stage company, every team member has the chance to have a major impact on our business. The ability to operate autonomously is an absolute must. With this level of autonomy, you’ll have the chance to learn in one week what it would take months to learn elsewhere.

We both have an aggressive sales compensation plan and this role will come with meaningful equity compensation. Nothing makes our founders happier than writing huge commissions checks and we celebrate performance. Our work culture is hybrid, and this role will be based in our SF HQ office 3x per week.

About the role

We’re looking for the rare account executive who is both a star seller but a builder at heart. This is a unique role offering the opportunity to collaborate with the CEO on defining our sales strategy. You’ll get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of how to build a company from the ground up.

While a traditional AE role is primarily focused on running a pre-existing playbook, we’re looking for a seller who wants to write the playbook. We think 3 traits will drive success for a seller in this role:

• Builder mindset - deeply curious and challenges how things are done. eg. figures out to double our ACV by breaking into a new customer profile. They have a strong bias for action and drive fast experimentation.
• Core motivation - ambitious and want an opportunity to prove themselves while working closely with the founders as we learn and apply quickly.
• Sales IQ - track record of excellence in tech sales. Minimum of 3+ years of closing experience w/ deal sizes from $50k+.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious account executive who wants to be on the ground floor of building an early stage startup. As our founding account executive, your responsibilities will span far beyond a traditional sales role. You’ll be writing our pricing and renewal strategies with the CEO. Our CTO and engineering team want to swing by your desk for input on the product roadmap. Your potential for impact goes far beyond the revenue you close (though that’s a critical part of the role too).

As an early member of a top seed-stage startup, you’ll get exposure to top Silicon Valley investors and operators. You’ll be mentored by our incredible slate of advisors including: the founding AE of Amplitude, the VP of Marketing at Rippling, former VP of Sales at Airtable, Head of SMB at Notion, and GTM Leadership at Open AI.

We’re pretty far along as far as founding AE roles go. We have hundreds of paying customers. We’re improving an existing playbook, not building from scratch. We expect you to ramp fast; you’ll be inheriting an existing pipeline. We also have an extremely strong inbound pipeline, but we expect you to be great at outbound as well as we continue to move upmarket.
