- Hire, develop, and coach the first cohort of AEs in market as the team scales
- Close and expand strategic accounts across financial services, media, healthcare, and enterprise technology: the industries that define New York's commercial landscape
- Build Lovable's presence in NYC through events, executive relationships, community, and partner co-selling
- Work directly with the Head of Global Sales to shape the enterprise playbook. Your patterns become the company's patterns

- Track record of consistent quota attainment (>100%) leading teams with ACV $100K+ deal sizes
- Genuine fluency with AI tools in your day-to-day workflow — not just awareness, actual practice
