The Role
  • Full-cycle new business. $1M ARR quota, 30% win rate.
  • Discovery to signature. No pre-sales handoff.
  • You own your pipeline. 40% comes from your own PG; marketing and partners bring the rest.
  • You won't write cold emails. AI researches and writes outbound; you QC it and pick up the phone.
What We Look For

Intelligence
  • You turn a prospect's numbers into a business case they can take to their CFO
  • You find the real problem behind the one they tell you
  • You learn a new market fast. Paid search and ChatGPT Ads won't faze you
Character
  • You pick up the phone without being told. Making dials doesn't scare you
  • You own your number. No excuses about lead flow
  • You'd rather hear no today than maybe next quarter
Coachability
  • You ask for feedback on your calls, then act on it
  • You run a structured method (Sandler preferred) and stick to it under pressure
  • You test new tools before deciding they don't work


Who we look for

Research shows men apply if they meet ~60% of the criteria, while women and underrepresented groups apply only if they meet all requirements. If you have the skills but don't meet every requirement, reach out - we'd love to explore how you could be a great fit!

Experience
  • 3+ years closing new logos as an AE, preferably in MarTech, AdTech or paid search, and you still want to carry a bag
  • Sold into complex organisations: layers of hierarchy, buying committees, 60-120 day cycles, across enterprise and mid-market
  • 100%+ of quota in at least 2 of the last 3 years.
  • Sandler training strongly preferred
