What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Account Executive - US position at Omnea?
Our Mission
We’re fixing the most broken process in business. Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, a typical B2B purchase drags on for 3 months, spawns 50 emails, and pulls in multiple stakeholders across Finance, Legal, Security, and IT. Nobody likes it, and it slows businesses down.
Omnea exists to change that. Our AI-native platform connects the people, steps, and systems so buying just works. Employees have one place to make requests, the right approvals run automatically, renewals and supplier risk checks are handled on time, and leaders get clear visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
This matters more now than ever: volatile markets demand capital efficiency, businesses who adopt AI quickly have a competitive advantage, and evolving regulation demands evidenceable controls—so buying has to be fast and compliant by default.
Founded in 2022, we’re trusted by global enterprises including Spotify, Adecco Group, Albertsons, Wise, MongoDB, and Monzo. Our team previously built Tessian (backed by Sequoia; acquired by Proofpoint) and we’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, Accel, Point Nine, and First Round.
What We're Looking For
We are looking for an entrepreneurial & commercial powerhouse to join us as Omnea’s first 'quota-carrier' in the United States. You'll be excited to scale an early stage business & have a massively accelerated career trajectory.
You’ll be joining us at a pivotal time. We’ve just raised $50M in Series B funding from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, Accel, Point Nine, and First Round Capital. In the past year we’ve grown revenue 5x, tripled our customer base, and maintained >99% retention with enterprises like Spotify, Wise, Albertsons, Adecco, and McAfee. Our team is small but high-calibre -- it took over 10,000 interviews to hire our first 50 Omneans.
Now we’re scaling fast and building the category of AI Supplier Relationship Management. And we need someone to continue to drive our GTM efforts and close deals. There are no limits with this role, and we expect this person to be a future commercial leader at Omnea as we scale.
Please note: Ideally, you'll spend 3 to 6 weeks in your first few months onboarding with us in London, UK. We will arrange flights & accommodation during this time.
What Can You Expect?
You’re ambitious and hard-working, and will succeed at whatever you put your mind to. You make up for any potential lack of experience with intelligence, grit, and a constant growth mindset. You have natural hustle and know how to get people on side. You know you can sell and are hungry for an entrepreneurial & high impact journey. You derive energy from building meaningful relationships and setting & achieving lofty goals. You get bored when things don’t move fast or when you can’t have an outsized impact.
It might even be ok if you haven’t done B2B / SaaS sales before but you will have consistently excelled at something incredibly challenging that demonstrates your grit & perserverance, and your ability to perform in the top 1%. If you’re less experienced, our Commercial Associate role is likely a better fit

What Can You Expect?

- You’ll navigate complex sales cycles with the world’s leading mid-market and enterprise tech businesses (~300-8,000 employees), initially securing mid-five and then low-six figure deals

- You’ll help to create our sales processes as you build them, experimenting with different messaging & outbound strategies
- You’ll become the best person in the company at explaining & pitching the product
- You’ll have close relationships across product, engineering, and customer success, giving feedback gathered from the front line/speaking to prospective customers, allowing you to help steer our roadmap & experience first-hand how great products & great businesses are built
- You’ll work more broadly across the business than any other ‘normal’ sales role, stepping up to help with marketing, events, community, onboarding customers, and whatever else needs to be done
- You’ll network with CFOs & procurement leaders, attend events across the US, and become well-known in this space
- As we scale our GTM function, you’ll have an outsized impact on the business either bringing in the largest, most strategic customers or building out future teams as we expand globally. We operate as a meritocracy & there are no limits to your growth
You’re ambitious and hard-working, and will succeed at whatever you put your mind to. You make up for any potential lack of experience with intelligence, grit, and a constant growth mindset. You have natural hustle and know how to get people on side. You know you can sell and are hungry for an entrepreneurial & high impact journey. You derive energy from building meaningful relationships and setting & achieving lofty goals. You get bored when things don’t move fast or when you can’t have an outsized impact.
- You have 3-7 years of experience succeeding in a B2B SaaS sales role or something comparable (i.e. you know you can sell!)
It might even be ok if you haven’t done B2B / SaaS sales before but you will have consistently excelled at something incredibly challenging that demonstrates your grit & perserverance, and your ability to perform in the top 1%. If you’re less experienced, our Commercial Associate role is likely a better fit
- You’re entrepreneurial and want to be part of building a business. You want to rise faster or earn more than would be possible in any ‘normal’ career and you’re happy to roll up your sleeves and do whatever’s required. FYI, we've signed up to the Future Founder Promise
- You’re ambitious, competitive, and care lots about your career. You are probably happiest when working really hard and solving challenging problems/winning deals. You know this requires dedication & some sacrifice but you think it’s worth it
- You’ve got a track record of exceptional performance, whether it’s in academia, work, sport, a sales team, or whatever else you’ve put your mind to
- You’re intelligent and have the capacity to rapidly understand our product inside and out, without the crutch of relying on sales engineers
- You have good commercial intuition, and the ability to build rapport, influence people & drive change, whether it’s with a distinguished exec or a junior operator. You can get on well with anyone and have the gravitas to sell to senior leadership (eg. CFOs), or the ability to learn quickly
- You’re an outstanding communicator; verbal, written, and when presenting
A Few Things To Note
- We work Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays in-person at our offices. At this early stage of our company life-cycle it's important to us that we get this together-time, and you can read more about why we believe this is a winning move here
- We're commercial, ambitious and we don't pretend otherwise! We're actively seeking folks looking to make the most of a career-defining opportunity, with the hunger to be part of building something really impressive. You can see our values here
- We sometimes use AI note-takers to help us transcribe interview notes, so we can be more present in your interview.
