About NLX

NLX is a startup building a conversational AI technology platform that we believe will be part of a suite of technologies that will change the way the world does business and represents the crest of another wave of innovation akin to the advent of HTML, Web 2.0, the social web, and mobile computing. We are a remote-first team headquartered in NYC with team members across North America and Europe. We value excellence, authenticity, transparency, attention to detail, and collaboration.

We are building a team where people are comfortable iterating, asking for help, and showing what they tried when things don't go as planned. At NLX, we embrace the unfamiliar, innovate relentlessly, and avoid getting stuck in the details. Our culture rewards cooperation over competition, and we foster transparency and community.

We are seeking an Account Executive (AE) to drive the sales process from discovery to close. The AE is a trusted advisor and strategic consultant, responsible for converting qualified leads into long-term customers. You will work closely with our Business Development Representatives (BDRs) and Marketing team to own the sales cycle and deliver personalized solutions that drive massive value for our clients.

Company Values

  • Elevate the Customer. We are customer-centric in the way we conduct our business and the way we build our product. Our goal is to elevate the customer experience of our customers as well as theirs. We should be obsessed with what the customer needs so that we can quickly build for them.
  • Choose simplicity. Things tend to get over-complicated. Take the time to step back and see the simpler solution.
  • Be Brave. If a decision needs to be made, make it. Ask questions, make mistakes, try something different. If you are curious about something, take the time to dig into it. If you have something you want to say, say it.
  • Keep it Open. Transparency is key and open communication is a great way to be transparent.
  • Build an Inclusive Space. We can do more when we do it together. Make each other feel welcome. Make yourself approachable. We expect diverse experiences and value individual input. We give each other the space to be included.
