AI sales jobs are one of the largest groups in the AI job market: 5,138 sales postings are live at companies that build or adopt AI, out of 26,799 in the catalogue. 76.0% of them score Level 1, where AI is a tool next to the selling. Measured September 2026.
The number this article rests on: 5,138 live sales postings, 76.0% of them at Level 1. Across all categories, 1,761 postings carry an account executive title and 1,482 a technical sales title such as sales engineer or solutions architect. Measured September 2026.
Level scores every posting from Level 1, where AI appears as a tool in the workflow, to 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 1,761 live postings, and technical sellers such as sales engineers and solutions architects, with 1,482. The second group sits closer to the product. Measured September 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 Level 1 listings 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 $228,500 and a floor of $171,000, on 1,853 listings. That maximum sits below the catalogue-wide median of $240,000. Only postings that print a USD range are counted. Measured September 2026.
- Account executives: a median maximum of $220,000 and a floor of $178,000, on 630 postings.
- Technical sales titles: a median maximum of $248,000 and a floor of $180,000, on 599 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?
48 of 5,138 sales postings score Level 4, where building AI is the job, or 0.9%, against 6.1% across the catalogue. 76.0% score Level 1. The employers here build or adopt AI and still post roles for people to sell it. Measured September 2026.
A job-ad count cannot see teams that shrank without posting. 1,905 of the 5,138 live sales postings were published in the last 30 days, or 37.1%, against 44.3% 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 Databricks (399), Jobgether (328), and Datadog (187). The tools named most often in sales postings are OpenAI (204), Clay (152), and Gong (118), counted once per posting. 42.7% of sales roles are remote. Measured September 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?
66 of the 1,482 technical sales postings score Level 4, or 4.5%, 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 September 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?
42.7% of sales postings are remote, against 48.8% across the catalogue, which puts sales below the market. That is 2,193 remote roles out of 5,138. Remote status is read from the posting text, so a hybrid role that does not say so counts as on-site. Measured September 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?
218 of the 5,138 sales postings are tagged intern or junior, or 4.2%. Across the catalogue, 17,717 postings are non-technical, or 66.1%. Sales is one of the largest categories open to people who do not write code. Measured September 2026.
The entry-level guide lists junior openings in every field, and the healthcare side of AI hiring shows another non-technical route.
