Mintive

Founding account executive in AI infrastructure

In short

Founding Account Executive role at Mintive, an AI infrastructure startup building an MCP gateway for governed agent access to company data and tools. The job means owning full-cycle sales to senior technical buyers (CTO, CISO, Head of AI), building pipeline from zero, and shaping the early sales motion while reporting directly to the CEO. It demands prior full-cycle sales experience in technical infrastructure or security, closed deals in the mid-six figures and up, MEDDIC training, and experience selling in enterprise or regulated environments. The role is in-person in London with travel to meet customers.

About the Company
Mintive helps companies put agents to work safely. We exist to help companies do more of their work with agents, and we build the infrastructure that makes a company's own work runnable by them. That has to start from trust. Our first product is an MCP gateway that gives those agents governed access to company data and tools.
Responsibilities
•Carry a full book: handle high inbound volume, prospect and build your own pipeline, run discovery and POCs, navigate security review and procurement, close, and expand the account.
•Sell to senior technical buyers, often the CTO, CISO, or Head of AI.
•Help build the early sales motion around you: qualification, forecasting, deal reviews, and the operating rhythm a small team needs to sell with rigor.
•Report to the CEO, help decide who we hire next, and turn what is working into a teachable playbook.
•As the company moves upmarket, grow into larger, CISO-level enterprise deals and into broader sales leadership.
Requirements
•You have owned full-cycle sales for technical infrastructure or security products, selling to AI, security, or engineering buyers.
•You have closed deals in the mid-six figures and up, and consistently beaten your targets.
•You build pipeline from zero, not just work inbound, and you can show how you sourced and created opportunities.
•You have built an early sales motion before: playbook, qualification, forecasting, and deal inspection, without much infrastructure around you.
•You are trained in a sales methodology, MEDDIC preferred, and run it with real rigor, not just the vocabulary.
•You have sold in enterprise or regulated environments, where security review, procurement, legal, and multi-threading are part of the deal.
•Strong sellers want to work with you, and you raise the bar for the people around you.
•You are senior and still want to sell. You do not need a big title to do meaningful work.
•You are AI-native, or will get there fast, and can speak credibly about AI infrastructure, MCP, and agents.
•You move fast without a lot of process, and you would rather build the playbook than inherit one.
Nice to Have
•Security, dev-tools, or infrastructure background
•Founding GTM or first-sales-hire experience that grew into a team
•Comfort representing the company in the field: conferences, dinners, and in-person meetings with CISOs and AI leaders
•Social selling on LinkedIn, or using intent signals to build prospecting lists
Conditions
•The role is in person, with travel to meet customers.
•Competitive base, commission, and significant equity.
•Full ownership of your deals, with room to build the motion and grow into leadership.
•Direct access to the CEO, customers, and product decisions.
•Health benefits, on a team that puts family and health first.
