Strategic Account Executive - Chicago (Remote)

Strategic Account Executive at Unframe

Location: Chicago, Remote

Why Join

• Compensation is uncapped with aggressive accelerators. At $1M+ ACV deal sizes, this structure rewards over-performance on meaningful deals.
• Our VP of Sales joined Unframe for three reasons: a founder with a proven exit, tier-one investors, and a product that's genuinely different and defensible. The GTM approach backs that up. Buyers get a free POC, tailored to their actual use case, delivered in days. No data sharing, no upfront cost, no six-month consulting engagement before anyone sees value.
• You'll work directly with the VP of Sales and founders, shape GTM strategy, close the deals that define our market position, and hold equity in a company with real institutional backing and momentum.
• We hire with intention. If you thrive in a performance culture with real backing behind you, you will win here.

Our platform is LLM-agnostic, integrates with any data source, and delivers fully customized AI applications through a unique Blueprint-led approach, no fine-tuning, no data sharing, and priced based on value delivered.
