About the Role
We've built the go-to-market foundation: a proven GTM motion, a disciplined sales process, and our first distributor contracts across key markets. Now we need an Account Executive to run it and grow it. You'll own the outbound motion, build top-of-funnel pipeline, and carry deals from first touch to close across our maritime, humanitarian, military, and retail channels.
This is a full-cycle role for a builder: you'll prospect, qualify, and close, while helping refine the playbook as we scale.
What You'll Do
Own the full outbound motion, prospecting, cold outreach, qualification, and early business development, to build and grow a consistent pipeline across maritime, humanitarian, military, and retail markets. This includes identifying customer pain points and establishing first relationships with new distributor, retailer, and channel partner opportunities.
Own the entire sales cycle end to end: discovery, demos, proposals, negotiation, contract redlines, and final signature, coordinating with legal or leadership on terms so deals close without unnecessary handoffs, across distributors, retailers, and end customers.
Consistently deliver against quarterly and annual revenue and quota targets across assigned market segments, with accountability for pipeline coverage sufficient to hit target.
Work within our established sales process and CRM, maintaining rigorous pipeline hygiene, accurate forecasting, and reporting.
Develop tailored proposals, presentations, and outreach that speak to the needs of each market segment.
Feed market intelligence back to the team on customer needs, objections, competitor activity, and new opportunities.
Represent Vital Lyfe at industry events and trade shows to build networks and generate demand.
Partner with the Head of Sales to sharpen the outbound playbook, messaging, and qualification criteria as we learn.
What We're Looking For
3+ years of experience in sales, business development, or account management, with meaningful outbound/prospecting experience.
Proven track record of building pipeline from scratch and meeting or exceeding targets.
Full-cycle experience: comfortable prospecting cold and closing deals.
Strong written and verbal communication. You craft outreach that gets replies and presentations that land.
Disciplined and process-driven: you follow a sales process, keep the CRM clean, and forecast honestly.
Self-starter who thrives with autonomy in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.
Preferred Skills & Experience
Experience selling hardware, consumer technology, or into water treatment, desalination, maritime, defense, or humanitarian markets.
Existing network of distributors or channel partners in relevant markets.
Experience with modern outbound tooling (CRM, sequencing, enrichment).
Experience as an early sales hire at a startup.

About Vital Lyfe
Vital Lyfe is a tech company redefining water autonomy through innovation, creating a new category of personal water making technology built to scale where infrastructure can’t.
What You'll Do
This person will sit at the intersection of engineering, growth, manufacturing, and regulatory compliance. You’ll own the certification and trade requirements for each country we enter, build and manage the schedules required to get there, and help the company decide where we should launch next based on the regulatory and operational lift.
This is a hands-on role. We’re looking for someone who can take a country like Japan, Australia, or the UAE and answer: What certifications and approvals do we need? What import/export requirements apply? How long will it take? What will it cost? And what needs to happen to get product on the ground?
What you’ll own
Build and maintain a country-by-country certification and regulatory requirements matrix for Vital Lyfe products.
Own certification schedules and provide clear timelines for when products can legally enter and be sold in each market.
Manage product certification programs with external bodies and labs, including NSF, Nemko, and relevant government and military organizations.
Coordinate with Engineering to identify certification requirements, required testing, documentation, product changes, and dependencies.
Own trade compliance planning, including import/export requirements, product classifications, documentation, country-of-origin requirements, customs considerations, and other market-entry requirements.
Partner with Growth to evaluate new markets and recommend country rollout priorities based on certification complexity, timeline, cost, and commercial opportunity.
Identify regulatory and certification risks early and drive them to resolution before they impact launches.
Build and maintain the company's certification records, reports, approvals, and supporting documentation.
Create dashboards and schedules that give leadership a clear view of certification status and market-entry readiness across countries.
Become the internal source of truth for the question: “What does it take to sell this product in this country?”
Why Join Vital Lyfe?
Work on high impact problems with global relevance
Help scale breakthrough technology in water security and climate resilience
Early ownership in a high growth, engineering led startup
Join a tight knit, mission driven team in a fast paced environment
Build long term career equity as we grow
Location Requirement: Ability to work 100% onsite in Torrance, CA (remote or hybrid work will not be considered)
