About the Role
Join an early-stage AI company as its first go-to-market hire, owning both prospecting and closing for initial enterprise deals. This hands-on individual contributor role will help establish the sales motion and bring customer insights directly to the product team.
What You'll Do
-
Identify promising buyer personas and customer segments for the product.
-
Build outbound campaigns from the ground up, including prospect lists, email sequences, and channel tests.
-
Experiment with sales tactics, using results to refine or discontinue approaches.
-
Source and close enterprise deals, setting success criteria with prospective customers before pilots begin.
-
Run customer proofs of concept independently, from scoping through decision.
-
Engage with AI agents hands-on to understand how they work and what customers need.
-
Share customer feedback and objections with the product team to inform roadmap decisions.
-
Manage a sales budget and track pipeline and closed-deal targets.
What We're Looking For
-
1 to 7 years of experience in sales, ideally in an early-stage startup or a full-cycle prospecting and closing role.
-
A record of personally sourcing and closing enterprise deals while consistently exceeding quota.
-
Experience independently running customer proofs of concept.
-
Ability to learn a customer's business model and financial metrics quickly, and discuss them in outreach and sales conversations.
-
Fluency with modern go-to-market tools and experience building custom workflows or automation.
-
Strong written communication for both technical and financial stakeholders.
-
Resourcefulness in reaching decision-makers and moving deals forward when standard outreach is ineffective.
-
Comfort using experiments and data to adjust sales tactics, with a collaborative and resilient approach.
-
Interest in how AI agents can reshape enterprise work.
-
Background as a competitive athlete, or early experience at a startup or as a founder, is relevant.
