About Athena

We help you winβ€”work and life.

Athena was founded in 2019 by Jonathan Swanson (Co-Founder of Thumbtack; took it to 1k+ employees and $1B in marketplace volume) and is led by our CEO, Robert Hayes (former COO at TaskUs, publicly traded company with 20k+ employees).

Since its formation, Athena has quickly constructed a roster of incredible clients β€” CEO, founders, investors, and executives from early-stage startups to Fortune 100 companies including Airbnb, Meta, Uber, and more. Our roster even includes an NBA GM, a US Governor, and World Series Poker champion!

Athena is now at a crucial inflection point. With a small and mighty sales & onboarding team, we’ve scaled revenue ~7x in the past year (from ~$3M to ~$20MM in ARR) despite prioritizing quality over growth and almost zero dollars spent on marketing.

Athena’s sales team is now looking for an Account Executive, who is eager to elevate our sales engine and close 100s of more exceptional clients as we look to scale from $20MM ARR to $100MM ARR and beyond!

  • Be able to lead and inspire others, teammates and clients alike.
