Hey there!
Lemon.io is hiring a Full-Cycle Senior Account Executive to own deals end-to-end, with a primary focus on closing and developing accounts. Our SDR team, founding BDR, and GTM engineer drive a strong share of pipeline, so you can spend your time where it matters most: discovery, closing, and growing the accounts you win.
Why Lemon.io
We're a bootstrapped, fast-growing developer marketplace connecting top-tier vetted developers with companies building and scaling their tech. Our CEO is hands-on, our culture is transparent, and our eNPS sits at 82. We work hard and have fun doing it.

Verticals: SaaS, AI/ML, fintech, healthtech, marketplaces.
Buyer: Whoever owns engineering hiring — founders, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, or Heads of Product.
Sales cycle: ~14 days from first touch to close. High velocity is core to how we work.
Team & reporting:
You'll report to the Sales Team Manager and join a tight GTM team — 4 AEs, 3 SDRs, 1 founding BDR, and a GTM engineer. Regular call coaching and peer learning are built into our operating model.
Key Responsibilities:
Closing: Own the deal from throughout discovery, demo, negotiation, and close.
Account Development: Build client relationships, expand usage, and drive repeat business and referrals.
Pipeline Partnership: Work closely with SDRs, the BDR, and the GTM engineer, giving feedback loops that sharpen targeting.
Prospecting When Needed: Step in with targeted outbound (calls, email, LinkedIn) to supplement pipeline coverage.
Pipeline & KPI Management: Maintain a structured pipeline, forecast accurately, and hit conversion, revenue, and growth targets.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Product, Marketing, CDX and Developer Matching to align solutions with client needs.
