### Role
Hadrius is a sales-led company.
The defining trait of our Account Executives is ownership. We mean that in a literal sense (all our AEs get equity), and also in a cultural sense: the very first non-founder employee on our team was an AE, and our sellers have helped build not only our talk tracks, but our sales process, our product strategy, and our org.\
\
Today our team looks like this:
* 2/8 of the AE team - ex-founder
* 3/8 of the AE team - verified #1 seller (quota + attainment) from a direct competitor in the space
* 1/8 of the AE team - verified #1 seller (quota + attainment) from a non-competitor, closed biggest deal in their company history
* 2/8 of the AE team - star BDR (#1 at their previous firm, then #1 at Hadrius) promoted into AE
You’re a fit for AE here if you have:
* Ambition: You want to get to a $1M W-2 by EOY 2028 (if not sooner), and you’re willing to do anything it takes to get there. Or, you want to start a company (or become a CRO) in the next 5-7 years. 5 of our former employees are now YC founders, with 1 already having exited.
* Learning Velocity: You probably don’t know our industry competitors, our technology, or compliance. But you learn + iterate on your learning incredibly well, verifiable by former quota attainment or other achievements. For example - if you are a 1500+ ELO chess player, we want to talk to you no matter what.
* Grit: Axiomatic. We firmly believe that hours in office alone don’t cleanly translate to real output, but we do believe we know what hard work looks like.
* Ownership: You get stuff done without handoffs to engineers, product, etc, and then you automate yourself out of the way. You solve problems rather than adding management burden. Above all, you do what needs to be done to close.
You’ll be running end-to-end cycles for net new $40k–100k ACV deals: prospecting into named accounts, partnering with BDRs and Marketing, running crisp discovery and tailored demos, and closing with discipline.

### About Us / Founding Story
Hadrius started when the founders were building a fintech/investment firm together. They realized two simple things quick:
1. Compliance is not optional (and is also very expensive and painful)
2. The software they were forced to use, was terrible
\
So they sold the fintech and went all in on compliance AI. Since then, the team has grown almost 50-fold, raised a $27M Series A, and is expecting to continue growing fast.
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
