  • Collaborate with leadership, marketing, and product to refine sales messaging, create targeted campaigns, and influence roadmap priorities.
  • Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and client meetings as a key ambassador of the brand.
  • Provide strategic insights on market trends, client feedback, and partnership opportunities to guide executive decision-making.
  • Maintain a disciplined approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM hygiene.
  • Contribute to the scaling of a high-performing sales organization, helping define best practices and processes as the team grows.

Who You Are

  • Skilled in virtual selling, solution-based consultative sales, and navigating multiple stakeholders.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage environment with minimal structure.
  • Highly organized, proactive, and motivated to deliver results while helping build something new.
  • Competitive base salary with uncapped commission
  • Remote flexibility
  • High visibility role reporting directly to the CEO
  • Opportunity to make an outsized impact in an emerging market with strong ROI and minimal competition
