Job description
Role Description: We’re looking for a gifted Founding Account Executive to work directly with the CEO, Head of Business Operations, and founding team to help spread Closure’s impact.
- This is not a rest-and-vest or 9-to-5—we are a growing startup delivering incredible outcomes for law enforcement agencies across the U.S. Succeeding at this role will take hunger, elbow grease, and a white-glove approach to succeed.
- Your work here matters to how AI is adopted by public safety agencies, and the stakes are quite high. Thoughtfulness and integrity are also critical to success.
- This role will require significant travel to conferences, customer onsites, and more. Core Responsibilities:
- - Full-Cycle Sales- Own every stage of the cycle: outbound, discovery, demo, pilot, procurement, negotiation, and close, post-close touchpoints.
- Co-lead pilots and POCs that convert frontline users into champions.
- Manage CRM hygiene, deal documentation, and transparent communications.
- Pipeline Generation- Generate your own pipeline through outbound, conferences, referrals, and relationships in the law enforcement community.
- Build and maintain a trusted group of decision-makers across police departments, sheriffs' offices, prosecutors’ offices, and federal LEOs.
- Identify and prioritize the agencies most likely to benefit from Closure.
- Public Sector Navigation- Navigate the realities of agency buying: RFPs, sole-source justifications, cooperative purchasing vehicles, grant cycles, competing priorities, and security reviews.
- GTM Foundation- Help define positioning, pricing, and sales motion as the company scales.
- Bring the voice of the customer back to product and engineering—the roadmap will be shaped by what you hear in the field.
- Represent Closure at conferences nationwide (IACP, major chiefs and sheriffs associations, and regional conferences).
Why work at closure-intel.com
- Mission-driven work: "A gritty, tight-knit team committed to supporting those who keep us safe and improving criminal justice."
- Meaningful engineering challenges: The platform handles complex, sensitive data with serious security constraints; founders describe "challenging engineering hurdles" that are "not easy."
- Autonomy and ownership: Early-stage (seed) team of ~10–11, so new hires get "serious ownership" and the chance to be founding team members.
- Strong technical culture: Engineering talent comes from notable backgrounds (McKinsey, Contrary, Boomi/Rivery, U.S. Army); team is ~55% technical.
- Flexible work: Hybrid workspace (mix of remote and on-site); open roles list both in-office and remote options. Offices in New York (HQ) and San Francisco.
- Named founding roles currently open: Founding Product Designer, Founding Deployment Strategist, Founding Business Development / Account Executive, and Member of Technical Staff.
