About Pursuit
Pursuit is a social impact organization building the future of economic mobility in the age of AI.
For over a decade, we’ve transformed lives through immersive training programs that propel adults from low-income backgrounds - often without college degrees - into high-growth tech careers. Our graduates have already generated nearly $1 billion in lifetime wage gains. We’ve also pioneered the Pursuit Bond, an innovative outcomes-based financing model that aligns investor returns with long-term economic mobility, allowing us to scale impact in a financially sustainable way.
Now, as AI reshapes every industry, Pursuit is evolving into an AI-native organization. We’re training AI-native talent, embedding AI into our operations, and building scalable software to extend our impact. From grassroots partnerships to national policy, we’re not just filling jobs - we’re rethinking how economic opportunity works at scale.
About the Role
Pursuit is seeking a highly driven, relationship-oriented Account Executive to help scale employer partnerships and drive successful job placements for Pursuit Builders entering new careers. Reporting to the Head of Job Outcomes, this person will own employer outreach and hiring pipelines from first conversation through successful placement, acting as a trusted external representative of Pursuit in the market.
This is a full-cycle sales role focused on generating new employer partnerships and driving successful hiring outcomes. The person in this role will own the sales process end-to-end — from outbound prospecting and discovery through pitch, relationship management, builder matching and preparation, and successful placement close.
This role will work closely with the broader jobs and program teams, including leadership across employer partnerships. The ideal candidate is someone with a strong sales or business development background who thrives in fast-paced, high-volume environments, enjoys building relationships, is mission driven, and is motivated by ambitious goals and measurable outcomes. We would also prioritize someone who integrates AI into their workflows to increase efficacy across the sales process.
This role is heavily focused on net-new employer acquisition and outbound relationship development rather than long-term account management. It is critical to Pursuit’s mission of creating life-changing economic mobility opportunities for talented individuals.
