About Phaselab
Phaselab is rebuilding the legacy eDiscovery industry from the ground up, empowering in-house legal teams with tools for document production that bypass the existing labor-heavy approach. We're Seed stage but are already working with Fortune 500 companies and are scaling rapidly.
The Role
We’re looking for a Founding Account Executive to help us build and scale our sales motion in the UK and Europe, where we already have dozens of customers and significant new pipeline. You’ll report directly to our CEO and work closely with our entire team to grow our rapidly-expanding business in Europe. This is a high-ownership, high-impact, high-growth role where you’ll directly shape the future of the business and will have the opportunity to build our sales strategy and culture.
What You’ll Do
Own the sales cycle from prospecting to closing deals
Build and maintain pipeline through outbound prospecting, events, and inbound lead qualification
Contribute to the development of our sales playbook, helping identify what works and refining our approach
Work closely with founders to provide market feedback and customer insights
What We’re Looking For
Full sales cycle ownership: You have experience building pipeline and taking deals from prospect to closed-won.
Industry expertise: Demonstrated success in the legal tech, privacy tech, or eDiscovery space.
Extreme ownership and attention to detail. You’re a person who never drops balls.
Very strong written and oral communication skills.
A bias for action: You ship fast and iterate based on feedback.
Why Join Us?
Impact: Your work will directly shape the future of the company.
Growth: High ownership, deep collaboration with company leadership and customers. Potential to grow into new roles and scopes as the company grows.
Speed: We move fast, ship often, and value autonomy.
Culture: Our team is kind, collaborative, inquisitive, and inclusive – and we want to keep it that way. We have high standards for quality and ethics, and help each other learn in order to reach our objectives. We think technology is best built by teams with a diversity of background, thought, and experience.
Every team member is a human first, and we strive to create a culture and environment that supports your career goals and respects all of the hats you wear in life, not just the ones that earn you a paycheck.
