About the role
About PistonPay
PistonPay is a payments company starting by revolutionizing how fleets manage their fuel payments. We're a Series A company backed by some of the best investors in the world, including Pear, Spark, and FPV (the same firms behind Anthropic, Dropbox, DoorDash, and Canva). We're building the financial backbone for the trucks and fleets that move the economy, and we're just getting started.
Role overview
We're hiring an Account Executive to own and close deals with trade fleets: construction, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and other service-based fleets.

- Build relationships across the trade fleet community that generate referrals and expansion opportunities over time.
- Partner with marketing on campaign development, messaging testing, and ongoing refinement of the trade fleet ideal customer profile.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in Salesforce and Outreach, and bring a clear point of view on what's working and what isn't.
- Travel occasionally (2 - 3 day) to support in-market pushes and events.
