Enterprise Account Executive, London

About Scrunch

Scrunch, a venture‑backed startup, is on a mission to bring brands to an AI‑first future—where people increasingly rely on LLMs to discover, understand, and act on information that matters to them. As AI search and conversational agents replace traditional web search and browsing, Scrunch helps marketing teams rethink how their products and services are discovered and surfaced on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and more—working with AI platforms, not against them. This shift represents the biggest change to marketing since the dawn of the internet. With $26M in backing from Mayfield Fund, Decibel, Homebrew, GTM Capital, and leading Silicon Valley founders and operators, Scrunch has scaled rapidly since commercial launch. Today, more than 500 paying brands—including Fortune 500 companies like Lenovo, category‑defining brands like Skims, and breakout startups like Clerk—use the platform.

About The Role

As a Founding Enterprise AE, London at Scrunch, you’ll lead complex sales cycles addressing one of the most urgent challenges facing CMOs today: how brands show up in an AI‑first world. You’ll own deals end to end—from first conversation through close—navigating multi‑stakeholder buying groups, longer sales cycles, and 6–7 figure ACVs. You must be comfortable being the first AE in London, operating with autonomy and urgency, with initially minimal support. Must have the right to work in the United Kingdom.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full enterprise sales cycle from sourcing and discovery through deal strategy, negotiation, and close.
• Manage and close inbound leads while also driving outbound prospecting into mid‑market and enterprise accounts.
• Run complex, multi‑threaded sales processes with senior stakeholders across marketing, brand, product, and executive teams.
• Sell strategic solutions, not features—help CMOs and VPs solve visibility, performance, and discovery challenges in an AI‑first world.
• Execute 6–7 figure deals with longer sales cycles (3–6+ months), navigating ambiguity and evolving buyer needs.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline, ensuring accurate forecasting, CRM hygiene, and consistent follow‑up.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Marketing, Product, and Sales to refine messaging, shape enterprise use cases, and influence roadmap priorities.
• Act as a category evangelist, educating prospects on a new and rapidly forming problem space around AI discovery.
• Continuously research the market, identifying target accounts, competitive dynamics, and emerging trends to sharpen your approach.

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, including significant experience as an Enterprise Account Executive.
• Proven success closing complex 6‑ and 7‑figure deals with multi‑stakeholder buying groups.
• Strong executive presence, with the ability to build credibility and trust with CMOs, VPs, and senior marketing leaders.
• Customer‑centric mindset, with a passion for understanding buyer needs and delivering high‑impact solutions.
• Exceptional communication skills, comfortable articulating value clearly via phone, email, Zoom, and in‑person meetings.
• Highly organized and goal‑driven, with excellent time management, follow‑up, and a track record of exceeding quota.
• Tech‑savvy, experienced with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), sales tooling, and modern SaaS/AI products.
• Startup‑ready, able to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment without a perfect playbook.
• Deep curiosity about AI and emerging technologies, and how buyers are adapting their strategies.
• Ability and willingness to travel periodically within your territory and to Scrunch offices.

Nice to Have

• Experience selling into brand, SEO, martech, or AI ecosystems.
