Account Executive

Delight is an AI-first customer orchestration platform built for the field service industry - the electricians, HVAC technicians, solar installers, and countless others who keep our communities running. These businesses are the backbone of the country, employing nearly 5% of the U.S. workforce (about 1 in 20 people), yet they often struggle with complicated front-office tools and lack the operational teams and resources of larger businesses. Delight helps them maximize revenue and deliver better customer experiences by providing modern, easy-to-use tools for marketing, automation, and customer engagement.

Delight is led by repeat founders with a track record of building and scaling impactful products. CEO Will Dinkel previously founded and sold an AI go-to-market startup, and CTO Charles Dudley was a tech lead on React, the open-source library that powers millions of apps and websites worldwide.

We’re hiring our first two Account Executives - full-funnel sellers who will own the entire sales cycle from cold outreach to close. This is a rare opportunity to join a venture-backed startup at the ground floor and help drive Delight’s go-to-market motion.

You’ll work directly with the founding team to execute our sales process, build relationships with small business owners across the country, and drive the company’s early growth trajectory. As one of our first sales hires, you’ll have outsized influence on our processes, messaging, and culture, with room to grow into a leadership role as the team expands.
