Account Executive

Austin, TX · Sales · Hybrid (4 days in office) · Full-time

TrashLab is the AI-native operating system for waste and recycling haulers across the US and Canada. We replace legacy point solutions with modern technology and AI agents that do real work in the truck, at the scale house, and on the phones. Our platform runs the full operational stack: CRM, billing, dispatch, routing, scale and recycling workflows, driver app and customer portal. Haulers use TrashLab to grow revenue and better serve their customers.

Since launching in 2023, TrashLab has scaled rapidly: live in 40+ states across hundreds of haulers and revolutionizing a $100B+ category with cutting edge technology. And our ambition goes beyond software — over time, we aim to become the financial and operational network that powers the industry. We recently completed our Series A from top-tier investors, and we're hiring a smart, ambitious team that will define what modern hauler technology will look like for the next decade. We move fast and care deeply about the operators we serve. Learn more at trashlab.com.

About the role

We're hiring Account Executives, joining together as a hiring cohort, to own full-cycle sales for new-logo acquisition. You'll be part of the founding team on our new Austin sales floor, helping build the culture, playbook and pace of the sales org from day one. You'll run discovery, demo complex operational workflows, navigate multi-stakeholder buying groups, and close transformation-level deals with hauler operators.

You'll work from our Austin office four days a week alongside the rest of the sales team. Most deals close remotely, with travel for key accounts, trainings, and trade shows. This role reports to the Head of Sales.

You will

• Own full sales cycles from first call through close for new-logo acquisition — this is not order-taking.
• Run discovery across operational, financial, and executive stakeholders, and demo complex workflows across routing, billing, CRM, AI agents, and payments.
• Sell into SMB haulers (5K–50K ACV) and mid-market and municipal haulers ($50–300K+ ACV) in multi-stakeholder, consensus-driven deals.
• Build and manage pipeline in HubSpot; partner with BDRs, GTM Engineering, and Marketing.
• Use the AI sales stack — call summaries, account briefs, proposal drafting, follow-up emails, pre-call research agents — to operate at a level reps at other companies can't touch.
• Travel as needed for key account meetings, trainings, and trade shows.

You are a great fit if

• You have 3+ years of full-cycle SaaS sales experience, ideally selling complex operational or workflow software.
• You're comfortable navigating multi-stakeholder deals with strong discovery and demo skills.
• You have strong AI-tool fluency — you've shipped meaningful AI and automation into your own sales workflow.
• You're process-disciplined: accurate forecasting, clean CRM, religious follow-up.
• You're based in Austin or willing to relocate before your start date. This role is not open to remote candidates.
• A plus: vertical SaaS background (waste, fleet, field service, construction tech, logistics), a personal network in waste & recycling, or Seed → Series B startup experience.

Additional details:

• Location: Austin, TX — hybrid, 4 days a week in office. No remote exceptions.
• Compensation: 185,000–250,000 OTE + equity
• Benefits: Fully-covered options for health, dental, and vision insurance, with significant contributions for spouses & dependants. HSA, FSA, 401k, Commuter Benefits accounts available.
