The Opportunity
We are seeking an Account Executive to drive growth through relationship-led sales and strategic engagement with high-value clients.
This role is designed for someone who can independently source and close opportunities by leveraging their network, developing trusted relationships, and navigating complex, high-touch sales cycles. You will work directly with leadership while engaging with senior decision-makers including executives, CISOs, founders, and high-net-worth individuals.
This is not a high-volume outbound role. Success in this position comes from thoughtful outreach, strong relationships, and the ability to operate credibly in executive environments.
High performers will have the opportunity to grow into senior sales leadership roles as Hush continues to scale.

Demonstrated ability to build and leverage professional relationships
Strong communication skills with the ability to engage senior stakeholders
High level of discretion, judgment, and professionalism
Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
Tech-savvy and comfortable learning new tools and systems
Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required
You’ll Thrive If You Are
Relationship-oriented rather than volume-driven
Credible and confident in executive conversations
Strategic in how you source and develop opportunities
Persistent and disciplined in follow-through
Highly self-directed with a strong sense of ownership
What You’ll Gain
Real experience selling into executive, private equity, and high-net-worth markets

Opportunity to own and shape a relationship-driven sales motion
Access to a high-value, differentiated product in a rapidly growing category
Clear pathway to senior sales and leadership roles
