What You’ll Do

Carry a personal quota and close deals — this is not a purely managerial seat

Run deal reviews, call coaching, and weekly pipeline reviews that make the team sharper

Work closely with GTM, marketing, and content to align top-of-funnel motion with sales execution

What Makes You a Great Fit

Has closed enterprise B2B SaaS deals personally and recently — not just managed people who do

Has built and scaled a sales team from early stage, including hiring and ramping AEs

Strong rev ops instincts — can build and own the systems, not just use them

Content-native — has a LinkedIn presence or is ready to build one, and understands how content drives pipeline

AI-native — uses tools to move faster and expects the same from the team

Coaches by doing — gets on calls, rewrites emails, runs live deal reviews

Has a track record of hitting number as both an individual and a leader
