About This RoleThis is a high-velocity, high-ownership role for someone who closes with urgency and cares about who they're closing for.
Key Responsibilities- Own the full sales cycle end to end: from first conversation through signed contract, with no hand-holding and no excuses
- Run a high-volume pipeline with precision: manage dozens of active opportunities simultaneously without letting anything slip
- Build deep product knowledge and translate it into compelling, tailored pitches for SMB owners who have never been sold to this way before
- Travel to conferences and trade shows nationwide to build pipeline, deepen relationships, and close deals in person
- Partner closely with marketing to align on campaigns, share field intelligence, and ensure outbound and inbound motions are working together

- Partner with SDRs to give feedback on lead quality and help sharpen top-of-funnel targeting
- Track all activity, pipeline, and deal progression rigorously in HubSpot. Your CRM is your source of truth
- Surface market intelligence back to product and leadership. You're on the front lines and what you hear matters

Qualifications- 2+ years of full-cycle, quota-carrying closing experience with a proven track record of consistently hitting or exceeding targets
- Demonstrated ability to close complex deals with SMB owners or non-technical buyers who require education, trust-building, and patience
- Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can write a cold email that gets a response and run a discovery call that actually uncovers something
- Comfortable traveling regularly for conferences, trade shows, and field events
- High ownership mindset: you build your own pipeline, manage your own time, and take full responsibility for your number
- Comfortable with HubSpot, spreadsheets, and the discipline of keeping your CRM airtight
