Head of Sales

SCALIS, San Francisco, CA, United States


Head of Sales Our client, an AI‑driven enterprise B2B startup, is seeking a Head of Sales.

We are looking for a hands‑on, player‑coach sales leader who thrives at the intersection of product, customer insight, and technical storytelling. You’ll partner directly with the CEO and founding team to define go‑to‑market strategy, run high‑conviction experiments, and drive enterprise adoption of a category‑defining AI platform.

This is not a pure management role. You will be in the trenches — closing complex enterprise deals, translating technical capabilities into business value, and building the foundation for a scalable, product‑led sales motion.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineering and design to turn real customer feedback into product priorities while developing repeatable sales playbooks that support long‑term growth.

What You’ll Do

Lead early sales efforts across product‑led, outbound, and inbound channels

Partner with the CEO and CTO on customer targeting, deal execution, and revenue strategy

Own the full enterprise sales cycle — from use‑case discovery and demo to contract negotiation and close

Translate complex AI infrastructure and technical functionality into clear, compelling business narratives

Design and implement scalable GTM processes, tooling, and territory plans

Build and mentor a high‑performing sales team while continuing to close strategic deals

Feed structured customer insights back into product, engineering, and design

What We’re Looking For

6–10 years of experience selling technical enterprise software, with early‑stage startup exposure

Proven track record of exceeding quota (Presidents Club, rapid promotions, consistent overperformance)

Experience leading enterprise sales and building teams in a Seed–Series B/C environment

Strong player‑coach mindset with the ability to close complex deals while managing and developing talent

Experience selling into RPA or automation markets

Ability to build outbound strategy, manage inbound/product‑led pipeline, and create scalable sales processes

Clear, confident communicator who can engage engineers, operators, and executives alike

Familiarity with the AI ecosystem (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, vector databases, LLMOps) is a plus

This is an opportunity for a competitive, strategic sales leader who wants to help define a category and scale enterprise revenue from the ground up.

GTM Engineer Our client, a fast‑growing DevTools software startup, is seeking a GTM Engineer. This is a high‑impact builder role at the center of scaling go‑to‑market.
