Account Executive

San Francisco, CA (Hybrid)Are you a consultative seller who earns trust quickly, navigates complexity without flinching, and closes with conviction rather than pressure? Archer Faris is redefining how enterprises manage third-party AI risk, and we have an opportunity for an Account Executive who can bring that story to life across a dynamic, rapidly expanding market.In this role you will own the full sales cycle, from first conversation to closed deal, across a diverse set of mid-market accounts in the technology, financial services, and enterprise software sectors. You'll engage buyers who are increasingly aware that their third-party AI risk exposure is a problem but don't yet know that a better solution exists. Your job is to change that.Every day you will engage with security leaders, risk and compliance stakeholders, and procurement decision makers, uncovering the specific dynamics driving their third-party risk posture and demonstrating with clarity how Archer Faris's multi-agent platform creates outcomes that legacy approaches simply can't. You'll manage a pipeline of active opportunities with discipline and transparency, moving deals forward through a consultative motion that respects both the buyer's time and the complexity of what they're trying to solve.To thrive in this role you must balance velocity with deliberation, moving quickly without sacrificing the quality of the relationship or the rigor of the sales process. You're honest with prospects about fit, honest with your team about deal status, and honest with yourself about where your pipeline stands. You understand that in enterprise security, trust is the product before the product.Archer Faris is pioneering the world's first 100% multi-agent approach to enterprise security, starting with Third-Party Risk Management, a domain that is mission critical, deeply human, and notoriously broken.
