Founding Account Executive

What we’re building

The last decade of freelancing platforms optimised for profiles, resumes, and race-to-the-bottom pricing.

The next shift is already here.

AI is changing how work gets done, not just who does it. Founders don’t want to hire freelancers. They want outcomes - shipped products, working automations, real business impact - delivered fast, without building bloated teams.

BeGig is building the AI-first freelancing and execution layer for this new world.

We combine:

• End-to-end AI & automation execution
• On-demand, high-quality tech talent
• Outcome-based delivery instead of time-based billing

No endless hiring cycles. No agency bloat. No “marketplace chaos.”

Just execution that works.

We’re early, opinionated, and moving fast - and now we’re hiring our first true sales hire to help turn founder-led momentum into a real revenue engine.

The role

We’re hiring a Founding Account Executive to work directly with the founder and close revenue.

This is not a “follow the playbook” role — because there is no playbook yet.

You’ll be selling:

• End-to-end AI and automation execution
• On-demand tech talent for startups and operators
• Typical deal sizes today: $5k–$10k

Your buyers will mostly be founders and CTOs - smart, impatient, outcome-driven people who want things shipped, not sold to.

You’ll own deals end-to-end:

• First conversation → problem shaping → proposal → close
• No SDR layer. No RevOps team. No fluff.

If you’re excited by clarity, autonomy, and real responsibility — this role will feel electric.

If you need structure handed to you - this will feel uncomfortable fast.

What you’ll actually do

This is a close + build role.

In the early months, you’ll:

• Run sales conversations yourself and close deals
• Help founders translate messy problems into clear scopes
• Pressure-test pricing, packaging, and positioning in real time
• Learn directly from wins and lost deals

As patterns emerge, you’ll:

• Help shape BeGig’s sales motion from scratch
• Create lightweight processes that don’t slow us down
• Feed market signal back into positioning, offerings, and delivery
• Act as a true extension of the founder, not a downstream closer

Success is simple and visible: revenue closes and customers ship.

This role is not for you if…

Let’s be explicit.

❌ You want leads handed to you

❌ You only want to “close” but not shape the sale

❌ You need perfect decks, pricing pages, and scripts

❌ You’re uncomfortable selling something that’s still evolving

❌ You prefer safety over speed

You’ll be a great fit if you…

Have sold in chaos before

You’ve been an early AE at a fast startup or you’re an ex-founder who knows how to sell before things are perfect.

Can sell outcomes, not features

You’re comfortable talking to founders and CTOs about real problems, trade-offs, and execution — not just pitch decks.

Have closed real deals

You’ve owned revenue before. $5k–$10k deals don’t scare you, and you know how to move fast without cutting corners.

Operate with high agency

You don’t wait for permission. You see what’s missing and just do it.

Match the pace

We move fast. Sometimes messy. Always forward. That excites you more than it scares you.

How we work

• Role: Founding Account Executive
• Reporting: Directly to the founder
• Work mode: Fully remote
• Pace: Slightly unhinged (in a good way)
• Comp: Competitive fixed + performance-linked incentives

Why BeGig

If you join now, you won’t just be selling deals.

You’ll be:

• Shaping how AI-first execution is sold
• Influencing product, delivery, and positioning directly
• Building the foundation of a sales engine from scratch
• Working closely with a founder who values speed, honesty, and outcomes

If that excites you - we should talk.
