Descript Is Hiring a Remote Account Executive in the US
AI video tool Descript wants an experienced B2B sales pro to help grow its enterprise business — and the role can be done remotely.
Descript, the San Francisco-based company behind an increasingly popular AI-powered video and audio editing platform, is looking for an Account Executive to join its early sales team. The position is open to candidates based anywhere in the US, not just at HQ.
This is a ground-floor kind of role. You'd be one of the first sales hires, which means real input into how the team operates — shaping the playbook, refining outreach strategy, and working closely with product and marketing rather than just executing someone else's vision.
Day-to-day, the job covers the full sales cycle: finding prospects, running demos, handling technical and commercial conversations, and closing deals. There's also an expectation of building relationships at the executive level with enterprise clients, and some travel for conferences and in-person meetings.
The ideal candidate has a track record in quota-carrying B2B SaaS or AI sales and knows how to navigate longer, multi-stakeholder deal cycles. If you're energized by early-stage environments and want to sell something in the AI creative tools space, it's worth a look.
