Account Executive - Engineering, Finance, Manufacturing Vertical
➡️ Want to sell an AI product that’s genuinely shaping how companies innovate and build the future?
➡️ Tired of pitching “nice-to-have” software and ready to sell a product with real market pull, heavy R&D backing, and strong logos?

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
