About this Role
You will help us win Mid-Market accounts by managing the full sales cycle from pipeline generation through to closed-won.

Our emphasis is on your ability to excel in the areas listed below, your ambition for continuous growth & improvement, and your excitement to be a pivotal member of an early-stage startup.
Role Requirements:
- You have 2+ years of full-cycle closing experience, selling complex SaaS, and have closed many $15,000-$50,000+ deals.
- You are excited to play a foundational role in defining how we build our sales motion and culture from the ground up.
You could be a great fit if:
- You move fast. You leverage tools/technology to maximize your selling time and are comfortable managing a pipeline of a dozen or more opportunities.
- You skillfully guide prospects through their entire buying process—engaging the right stakeholders at the right time to create consensus.

Our Philosophy
We are an early startup, and our culture and values will continue to be defined by the people who join us on this journey. Expect our values to change over time as we incorporate new ideas and ensure they reflect the diversity of voices here.
Here are a few key points (relevant to the go-to-market side) that should give you an idea of what it is like to work with us:
- We strongly believe in a strong sense of ownership and trust, and empower everyone to make decisions autonomously and quickly on behalf of the company.
- We care deeply about making our customers successful and believe that the best way to do this is by building best-in-class products. And we believe a highly differentiated product is a lot easier to sell.
- We want to offer a deep level of expertise when we interact with prospects and customers, which means we all need to be subject matter experts.
- We strongly believe that small teams with very talented people (and the right work environment) deliver much better performance than teams with large headcount. We hire and compensate accordingly.
This role is in person in New York City (in office by default but with the flexibility to manage your schedule as you see fit).
