Account Executive - NYC - Hybrid

About Haast

We’re not just talking AI - we’re shipping one of the first enterprise-grade LLM stacks that already delivers real, measurable wins to compliance and legal teams today. In just two years, our VC-backed startup has turned the “painful checkbox exercise” of compliance into a smooth, intelligent workflow, slashing review times by 80 % and lifting productivity 4×.

Why’s that thrilling?

Because we’re at the forefront of the AI revolution and flying the Aussie flag on the global stage; think Canva for design, Atlassian for projects… Haast for compliance.

The Role - US Account Executive
We’re expanding into the US, and you're our first sales hire on the ground. This is a rare opportunity to shape our growth in one of the world’s biggest legal markets. You’ll blend commercial firepower with domain fluency, helping US-based legal, compliance, and marketing teams modernize their workflows with world-class AI.

What you’ll own

• Drive revenue growth across the US, with an initial focus on New York and major regulated industries like financial services and insurance.

• Prospect engagement & qualification - connect with legal, compliance and marketing leaders, earning trust fast.

• Solution consultation - demo and map AI power to real-world workflows.

• Pipeline development - build and nurture a robust funnel via outreach, referrals and networking.

• Relationship building - become the long-term trusted advisor, not “just another vendor”

• Industry expertise - US compliance trends and the evolving legal-tech landscape

• Sales-enablement collaboration - partner with Marketing to craft case studies & thought leadership.

• Autonomous GTM execution - loop tight with Product, Engineering & CS; track pipeline in the CRM; fly the Haast flag at conferences and meet-ups.

What you bring

What we’re looking for

• A builder’s mindset – you’re excited to be Haast’s first US-based GTM hire, laying the foundation for long-term expansion. You’re curious, credible, and bring energy into every conversation.

• Commercial drive - proven track record of exceeding sales targets, navigating complex B2B sales cycles, and closing high-value enterprise deals.

• Industry fluency – you get how compliance actually works in regulated industries and understand how the right tech can ease the load and unlock real business value.

• Clear communicator - you can take complex concepts and distill them into sharp, business-relevant messaging.

• Start-up mindset - comfortable with ambiguity, adaptable, and excited to help shape new processes in a high-growth environment.

• Tech-curious - a genuine interest in AI and its potential to transform how compliance and legal teams work.

  
  

Nice to have, but not essential

• Experience working in or selling to legal, risk, or compliance teams - either from a legal, SaaS, or high-growth B2B background.

• Exposure to regulated environments or previous experience in corporate law, compliance, or enterprise in-house teams.

• Time spent in a scale-up or startup where you’ve had to wear multiple hats and move fast.

Why Haast?

Growth & Impact

• Be the first boots-on-the-ground hire in the US and shape our presence in a $100B+ market.

• Build relationships with leading legal and compliance teams in New York and beyond, backed by proven traction in Australia and tier-1 enterprise clients.

• Influence our product roadmap with frontline insight.

• Lead the leap from manual, error-prone reviews to AI-powered workflows (because nobody ever said, “I love manually reviewing disclaimers!”).

• Build enterprise-grade AI trusted by major institutions; free legal teams for strategic work; and create tech that protects consumer rights.

  
  

Benefits & Culture

• Central NYC office + flexible work arrangements (life happens).

• Competitive salary and equity - success is a shared story.

• Rapid career growth

• Work with cutting-edge AI that actually delivers.

• Collaborative, engineering-driven team obsessed with learning.

• A unique chance to pivot from legal practice to commercial success while staying true to your expertise.
