We are seeking our first dedicated Account Executive to scale the Maven Bio commercial engine for life sciences AI. We are turning a founder-led sales motion into a repeatable playbook on a small, intense team. You will own the full sales cycle from self-sourced outbound through close, and the playbook every AE after you will inherit.
About Maven Bio
Maven Bio is a YC-backed, 10-person seed-stage team in Boston building the market intelligence layer for life sciences AI. Mid-size pharma and biotech teams use Maven daily to screen assets, build competitive landscapes, evaluate opportunities, and track their indications.
Three of the top 10 pharma companies are onboarded, and we have 20+ enterprise accounts across pharma, consulting, and investing. Customers report a 40% reduction in low-level analytical work.
We are growing fast and heading for a Series A. Our buyers are senior BD, CI, Strategy, and Investing leaders at top pharma, life sciences consulting firms, and biotech investors.
Role Focus Areas
- Pipeline generation.
You self-source pipeline through calls, email, LinkedIn, events, and executive networking, especially in your first six months. In-place SDR works alongside you to multiply sourcing volume.
- Full sales cycle execution.
You run sharp discovery, translate vague pain into clear Maven use cases, deliver compelling demos, run pilots that convert, and close. You navigate AI committees, procurement, security review, and legal.
- Sales motion development.
You partner with the founders on positioning, pricing, packaging, sequences, and narrative, and you turn early wins into the repeatable playbook future AEs and BDRs will inherit.
- Multi-threading and expansion.
You build deals across users, champions, economic buyers, and AI committees, and you stay close after close to drive expansion revenue and renewals.
Qualifications
What This Role Offers
- First AE sales hire outside the founding team with ownership of the commercial motion from day one
- Founding-class equity, competitive base, uncapped commission
- Daily collaboration with the founders, marketing, and product team
- A product with strong demo conversion and customer retention
- Selling AI in a market just waking up to it
- Real budget for travel, in-person meetings, and customer hospitality
- Path to commercial leadership: senior AE, enterprise AE, sales lead, or sales director as the team grows
