Resend is hiring a Founding Account Executive to build our first repeatable sales motion. In this role, you'll take our existing foundations, pressure-test them, expand them, and create the scalable processes that define our go-to-market future.

What You'll Do

Work high-intent inbound leads from enriched, segmented enterprise logos and high-growth companies.
Build on existing playbooks—validate, iterate, and scale early wins and hypotheses.
Run experiments across messaging, timing, and channels to find repeatability.
Expand existing customer relationships by identifying accounts that could benefit from higher tiers or additional products.
Prevent churn by distinguishing accounts worth saving from natural lifecycle churn.
Be the voice of the customer internally—feeding learnings back to product, marketing, and success teams.
Document your process and learnings, which will become the foundational playbook the team builds on.

What We're Looking For

You've built before as a Founding AE, early sales hire, or have transitioned from BizOps, RevOps, or Success into a sales role.
You're customer-obsessed and genuinely curious about understanding and solving customer problems.
You think like a scientist, structuring your work around hypotheses, tests, measurements, and iteration.
You document and share learnings proactively to make the entire team smarter.
You are technical enough to hold a credible conversation about infrastructure, APIs, and email deliverability.
You care about craft and believe sales should be done with the same care and quality as great product development.
You're comfortable with occasional travel for conferences, prospect on-site meetings, and team events.

Team & Environment

This is a founding role where you will work directly with the founders. You'll join a fully remote team of 28 humans spanning 7 countries. The first 3-6 months are focused on learning and experimentation, not rigid quotas, with a clear path to define quotas together based on what we learn. It's an honest, low-ego team with autonomy to ship.
