Requirements
What We’re Looking For Proven track record in B2B business development, sales, or partnerships, with direct experience personally closing deals, negotiating commercial and rate terms, and managing accounts from first conversation through signature and beyond—not simply generating leads or booking meetings.
Comfortable owning commercial negotiations end-to-end, including pricing, rate cards, and contract terms.
Experience managing invoicing, prepaid credit arrangements, or collections as part of an ongoing client or supplier relationship.
Direct experience in B2B SaaS, lead-generation platforms, and two-sided marketplace models.
Experience selling and negotiating with supplier-side decision-makers such as founders, owner-operators, and heads of sales or business development.
Experience closing buyer-side decision-makers such as SMB buyers or heads of growth or operations.
Experience coordinating with Legal on contract terms.
Native English speaker, or native-level fluency, with excellent verbal and written communication.
Must be based in the United States and available to work US business hours.

Benefits
Fully remote. No office, no commute, just you, the operating system, and wherever you do your best work.
