AI sales jobs are one of the largest groups in the AI job market: 18,103 sales postings are live at companies that build or adopt AI, out of 182,590 in the catalogue. 83.5% of them involve little AI, where AI is a tool next to the selling. Measured November 2026.

The number this article rests on: 18,103 live sales postings, of which 83.5% involve little AI. Across all categories, 4,243 postings carry an account executive title and 3,511 a technical sales title such as sales engineer or solutions architect. Measured November 2026.

Level rates every posting from Little AI, where AI appears as a tool in the workflow, to Builds AI (AI Level 4), where building AI is the job; the scale is on the Levels page. Sales is one of the main routes into AI companies for people who do not write code.

What is an AI sales job?

An AI sales job here is a sales posting at a company that builds or adopts AI. The two largest title groups are account executives, with 4,243 live postings, and technical sellers such as sales engineers and solutions architects, with 3,511. The second group sits closer to the product. Measured November 2026.

Titles are matched in the posting headline, so a seller with an unusual title is counted in the category but not in either title group. The jobs with little AI show the non-technical side across every field.

Do AI sales jobs pay well?

Sales postings that publish a USD range show a median maximum of $202,250 and a floor of $150,000, on 4,864 listings. That maximum sits level with the catalogue-wide median of $200,000. Only postings that print a USD range are counted. Measured November 2026.

  • Account executives: a median maximum of $189,350 and a floor of $144,000, on 1,419 postings.
  • Technical sales titles: a median maximum of $239,000 and a floor of $171,000, on 1,261 postings.

A sales range may or may not include commission, and this count does not separate the two, so the figures are the published numbers as written, with nothing estimated for the rest.

Will AI replace salespeople?

169 of 18,103 sales postings build AI, where that is the whole job, or 0.9%, against 4.2% across the catalogue. 83.5% involve little AI. The employers here build or adopt AI and still post roles for people to sell it. Measured November 2026.

A job-ad count cannot see teams that shrank without posting. 5,942 of the 18,103 live sales postings were published in the last 30 days, or 32.8%, against 37.8% across the catalogue, which puts sales below the market pace. The same test applied to engineering and finance is in Will AI replace software engineers and Will AI replace accountants.

Who is hiring for AI sales?

The employers with the most live sales postings are Target (2,035), Amazon (1,377), and Salesforce (642). The tools named most often in sales postings are Salesforce (1,382), Aws (916), and Crm (898), counted once per posting. 29.2% of sales roles are remote. Measured November 2026.

Each company page shows what else the employer is hiring for, and the remote sales roles are listed on their own page.

Do AI sales jobs require technical skills?

240 of the 3,511 technical sales postings build AI, or 6.8%, against 0.0% for account executives. Technical sellers demonstrate and integrate the product, so they sit closer to the AI itself. Account executive roles mostly ask for selling skill. Measured November 2026.

The Level reflects how central AI is to the work, not how much code the seller writes. Titles such as sales engineer or solutions architect tend to describe hands-on product work, and the posting text says how much. The technical end of this market overlaps with AI engineer jobs.

Are AI sales jobs remote?

29.2% of sales postings are remote, against 16.4% across the catalogue, which puts sales above the market. That is 5,288 remote roles out of 18,103. Remote status is read from the posting text, so a hybrid role that does not say so counts as on-site. Measured November 2026.

Some postings name a city or region without saying whether the work can be done from elsewhere, so the listing page is the place to check each role's terms.

How to get into AI sales without a technical background?

1,222 of the 18,103 sales postings are tagged intern or junior, or 6.8%. Across the catalogue, 134,662 postings are non-technical, or 73.8%. Sales is one of the largest categories open to people who do not write code. Measured November 2026.

The entry-level guide lists junior openings in every field, and the healthcare side of AI hiring shows another non-technical route.
