Is AI taking Account Executive jobs?
We can't tell you that, and neither can anyone else from data like this. What we can do is show you what 998 companies actually did about this role, measured from their own job boards rather than modelled or predicted.
How many employers have it open
315 of 998 tracked companies (31.6%) have at least one open Account Executive req right now, across 2036 postings.
Company count is the number worth watching, not the postings count. One employer opening forty reqs is one employer's opinion; forty separate employers is a market.
How long one stays open
A account executive req that came down did so a median of 60 days after the employer first published it, against 45 days across every role we track. That is measured from 151 closures.
Only reqs that closed inside the observation window can be measured at all, and the ones still open are by definition the slow ones. Treat this as a floor, not a time-to-fill.
How much of what's posted is old
| Age of open reqs | Account Executive | share | all roles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Older than 30 days | 1366 | 67.1% | 67.8% |
| Older than 90 days | 738 | 36.2% | 39.7% |
| Older than 180 days | 418 | 20.5% | 23.0% |
| Older than 365 days | 172 | 8.4% | 9.0% |
A role whose open reqs are mostly ancient is a different situation from one whose reqs are fresh. What that situation is isn't something this page will guess at.

What this page does not tell you
It does not tell you why any of these numbers look the way they do. A role with fewer employers behind it could be automation. It could equally be a hiring freeze, a market that was never on Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby in the first place, or a job that quietly changed its name. This archive cannot tell those apart, and a page that pretended otherwise would be worth less than nothing.
These 998 companies skew hard to US tech. A role that barely appears here has been measured as rare in this set — not in the labour market.
Continuous observation of these boards opened on 2026-08-15. Anything phrased as a direction over time — rising, falling, down a percentage — needs a longer record than that, so this page does not phrase it that way.
Job posts get deleted. We keep them.
FirstIn watches company job boards at the source and tells you the moment a role opens — and keeps the record after it's taken down, so you can see what really happened to a team's hiring.
