Compensation
Luma is hiring founding Enterprise Account Executives to help define our early go-to-market motion.
This is a traditional sales role. There is no mature pipeline, no legacy process, and no existing playbook to inherit. You will help define and allow the GTM team to build the foundation of how Luma sells.
As one of our founding AE's, you will own the entire sales cycle from first conversation to closed deal while giving feedback on the messaging, positioning, and sales motion for a category-defining AI platform.
You will work directly with large enterprise companies exploring how AI will transform how they create, design, and build. Your role is to help them understand what is possible with Luma and guide them through the process of bringing this technology into their workflows.
This role is designed for entrepreneurial sellers who want to build something meaningful and play a defining role in the growth of an elite AI company.

- 8+ years in a closing sales role with a consistent track record of exceeding quota.
- Experience owning the full sales cycle including pipeline generation, discovery, and closing.
- Comfortable building pipeline independently without relying heavily on SDR or BDR support.
- Experience selling sponsorship media, advertising technology or creative technology is strongly preferred. We expect you to be an expert in the media, marketing and advertising spaces.
- You bring a start-up mindset and enjoy building from first principles.
- Strong discovery skills and the ability to translate complex technology into clear customer value.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills that resonate with both technical and executive audiences.

- Experience as an early or founding AE at a startup.
- Success selling innovative or category-defining products.
- A track record of building pipelines and closing deals in ambiguous, early-stage environments.
