We're passionate about building a cloud cost transparency platform that helps enable everyone, from developers to enterprises, analyze, report, collaborate on, and optimize their cloud spend. Together we are a high-output team of ~55 employees based in New York City with a remote-friendly culture. Backed by $25M from Andreessen Horowitz and Scale Venture Partners, and prominent industry veterans: Matthew Prince (Co-Founder, Cloudflare), Calvin French Owen (Co-Founder, Segment), Ben and Moisey Uretsky (Co-Founders, DigitalOcean), Stephanie and Nat Friedman (CEO, Github), Julia Lipton, Brianne Kimmel and others. ## ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking a proactive, highly driven Account Executive with a passion for early-stage startup growth. In this role, you manage inbound interest and take complete ownership of your territory as a true builder and self-sourcer. If you excel at identifying high-value target accounts, prospecting into VP and C-Suite leaders, and systematically generating your own pipeline from scratch, you will thrive here. This is a great chance to join an early sales team at a company with real product-market fit. You'll be closing real deals, with a focus on Commercial accounts, while helping shape the sales motion, the pitch, and the culture of a team that will grow significantly over the next 12–24 months. You won't be fighting over scraps. AEs at Vantage operate with large territories. The financial upside (salary, uncapped commission, and equity) reflects the early-stage opportunity this is. ## WHAT YOU WILL DO - Systematically research, identify, and prospect key decision-makers across target accounts using creative outbound strategies, cold outreach, and multi-channel sequencing to maintain a high-volume, healthy sales pipeline - Own the full sales cycle from discovery through close for commercial accounts - Run structured, consultative discovery to understand how prospects think about cloud costs and map Vantage's capabilities to their specific pain - Work closely with the SDR team on inbound pipeline while proactively sourcing your own opportunities - Partner with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to deliver compelling demos and smooth handoffs - Contribute to playbook development; you'll be one of the first AEs, and what you learn will shape how the team operates - Provide market feedback to Product and Marketing based on what you're hearing in the field ## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3–6 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in developer tools, infrastructure, or fintech - Track record of hitting or exceeding quota in a closing role - Comfort selling to a dual persona: engineers who care about product quality and finance/ops leaders who care about ROI - Strong discovery instincts: you ask good questions and know how to surface real pain, not just surface-level interest - Startup mentality: you thrive with autonomy, don't wait for a perfect playbook, and treat ambiguity as opportunity - Curiosity about cloud infrastructure - A kind person ## BONUS POINTS - Experience selling to FinOps, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure teams - Familiarity with tools like AWS Cost Explorer, Datadog, Snowflake, or Kubernetes - Prior experience at a company that went from early-stage to scale At this time, Vantage is only set up to employ in the United States ## About Vantage ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Vantage provides an independent, multi-cloud cost management platform that helps engineering and FinOps teams analyze, allocate, and optimize cloud, AI, and SaaS spend. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: New York City, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2020 - **Founders**: Ben Schaechter (CEO) and Brooke McKim (CTO) – former product leaders at DigitalOcean and Amazon Web Services. ## Core Business - Primary industry: Cloud cost management / FinOps (Financial Operations) - Target customers: B2B – engineering teams, FinOps teams, and finance departments at startups to Fortune 500 companies. - Mission / Purpose: “Reduce costs, then build efficiency into your DNA.

Features include dashboards, anomaly detection, budget alerts, virtual tagging, and unit cost analysis. - **Autopilot**: Automated buying of Savings Plans and Reserved Instances to reduce waste. - **Kubernetes Agent (K8s Agent)**: Granular rightsizing recommendations for Kubernetes workloads, breaking down compute by namespace and label. - **Terraform Provider**: Manage all Vantage resources (reports, budgets, dashboards, etc.) programmatically as Infrastructure as Code. - **MCP Server (AI Integration)**: Enables ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor to directly query Vantage cost data via a Model Context Protocol server, allowing conversational cost analysis and agent-driven workflows. - **Integrations**: Slack, Jira, Microsoft Teams, email, and more. ## Market Standing - **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed. - **Key Metric**: Total funding – **$25 million** (Seed round $4M in 2021; Series A $21M led by Scale Venture Partners in March 2023).
