Account Executive · Blacksmith

The role

An Account Executive seat. AI-augmented.

You own the sales conversation and the close for Blacksmith's paid media, SEO and CRO services to advertising and marketing brands. You are the voice prospects hear and the operator who moves deals to signed. We're an AI-first agency, which means you spend less time on admin and more time in the calls that close.

You own

The sales conversation

The pitch, the discovery, the narrative on the call. You are the voice prospects hear, not a name on an email.

You own

Closing new business

The calls that move a deal from interest to signed. Execution skews to judgment and timing, not manual admin. AI handles the grunt work.

You own

Pipeline and quota

Your quota runs from $1M to $3M ARR, with OTE scaling to $300k. You build pipeline that compounds and own the forecast, not just the activity.

Blacksmith is a fully remote digital agency. We run paid media for advertising and marketing brands across mid-market. As an Account Executive you own the sales conversation and the close; delivery teams run the work once you win it. Hit your quota and grow into senior AE or team lead.

Why this seat

Built for closers who want the right setup.

Most agency sales roles bury you in admin and bad-fit leads. This one is built for people who want to sell, with AI on the busywork and a real path to $300k OTE. Real ownership, real tools, real growth.

01

AI-first stack

Every team member has access to the best AI tools available. We use them to take grunt work off your plate so you spend time on real decisions, not manual reports.

02

Deal ownership

You own the conversation and the close. No layers above you running interference. Direct line to the founder.

03

Real growth

Small team, growing fast. AE is a seat that earns upward mobility quickly. Into senior AE, team lead, or related expansion.

04

Right client mix

Advertising and marketing brands across mid-market. Real budgets, real problems to solve, fewer bad-fit deals than agencies that chase anything.

The ramp
