Sapien is the engine behind the world’s most important companies. We build agents that learn how a business works from its financial and operational data: its language, operations, and economics. That understanding helps people find opportunities, make better decisions, and act.
We work with complex businesses, from manufacturers and restaurant groups to the Fortune 500. Teams at companies including Bayer, Cooper Standard, Blink Charging, Carlex, and Odeko use Sapien to understand their businesses and improve how they run. Our ambition is to build the self-optimizing company by making its people and systems dramatically more capable.
We’re headquartered by Madison Square Park in NYC, with $15M+ raised and backing from General Catalyst, Neo, and operators from OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Ramp, and Stripe. We’re bringing together AI researchers, engineers, and operators to build intelligence for the people who build everything else.
The RoleWe’re hiring an Account Executive to own deals end-to-end and help scale Sapien’s revenue. You’ll work with finance, operations, and analytics leaders to understand how their businesses run, identify where better intelligence can create value, and turn that opportunity into a customer relationship.
You’ll run full-cycle sales from discovery and demos through pilots, negotiations, and close. Working directly with the executive team, you’ll help sharpen our narrative, pricing, packaging, and sales playbooks as we build a repeatable enterprise sales motion.
