About ProcIndex

ProcIndex is a Y Combinator-backed startup (YC S25) building AI agents for the accounting operations of construction and manufacturing companies.

Our agents work alongside accounting teams to automate everything from invoice processing and accounts receivable to vendor communications and financial workflows.

We're selling into a massive market that AI has barely touched, and we're growing fast.

We're a small, ambitious team building something big. And we're looking for people who want to grow just as quickly.

About the Role

We're hiring our founding sales team.

You'll work directly with the founders every day to build and refine our outbound sales engine from the ground up — the target accounts, outreach strategies, conversations, and playbook that every future sales hire will build upon.

This isn't a role where you'll spend years following someone else's playbook.

You'll help write ours.

You'll get real exposure to customers, learn how businesses buy software, and work alongside the founders as we close deals.

Fast track to Account Executive: Once you're consistently generating qualified opportunities and demonstrating that you're ready, you'll have the opportunity to run sales conversations and close your own deals. No arbitrary promotion timelines or waiting your turn.

This is a high-ownership, high-growth opportunity for someone who wants to build a career in technology sales.

What You'll Do

Prospect and build pipeline. Identify and reach CFOs, controllers, and accounting leaders at mid-market construction and manufacturing companies.

Get out and meet people. Visit company offices in person, make cold calls, and send thoughtful emails to start conversations and book qualified discovery meetings.

Own your research. Find promising companies, identify decision-makers, and learn how to use tools like Apollo and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Write outreach that gets responses. Forget generic templates. Craft personalized messages that make busy executives want to talk.

Be part of the sales process. Join the discovery calls you book, watch deals progress, and learn how to close by working directly with the founders.

Help build our sales playbook. Test new approaches, share what works, and shape the processes our future sales team will use.

Bring customer insights back to the team. You'll be one of the closest people to our customers, helping influence our product and strategy.

Who You Are

We're not looking for a perfect résumé or years of sales experience. We're looking for the right personality, attitude, and ambition.

A recent graduate or early-career professional. A background in business, marketing, communications, finance, or a related field is a plus, but not required.

A natural communicator. You can strike up a conversation with someone you've never met and make it interesting.

You genuinely enjoy people. You're excited by the idea of walking into an office, introducing yourself, and turning a cold conversation into a relationship.

Curious and quick to learn. You want to understand how businesses work, what problems people face, and how to solve them.

Allergic to corporate-speak. You'd rather sound like a smart, thoughtful human than hide behind buzzwords.

Hungry and competitive. You want to be great at what you do, not just check boxes or hit the minimum quota.

Resilient. Hearing "no" doesn't discourage you. It makes you curious about how to approach the next conversation differently.

High ownership. You don't wait to be told what to do. You spot opportunities, take initiative, and follow through.

No previous SaaS sales experience required. We'll teach you the tools, industry, and sales process. You bring the curiosity, work ethic, and willingness to put yourself out there.

Why Join ProcIndex?

Work directly with the founders. No layers of management between you and the people building the company. You'll learn firsthand how to sell, build, and grow a startup.

Accelerated career growth. We believe opportunities should be earned through performance, not tenure. You'll have a clear path toward becoming an Account Executive.

Real responsibility from day one. You'll own meaningful work, develop relationships with real customers, and see the direct impact of your efforts.

Competitive compensation. Competitive base salary, performance-based commissions, and meaningful upside as you grow.

Join at the ground floor. Be part of an early-stage, YC-backed company building AI for industries that are just beginning their transformation.

Who Will Thrive Here?

Someone who gets energized by meeting new people. Someone who isn't afraid to pick up the phone, walk into an office, ask questions, or hear "no."

Someone who would rather learn by doing than spend years waiting for permission.

If you're ambitious, personable, competitive, and want to build a career in tech sales, we'd love to meet you.

How to Apply

Send us your résumé and a short note telling us why you'd be great at starting conversations with people you've never met.

We care more about how you think and communicate than how polished your résumé looks.
