Full Job Description
About the Role

This is a pivotal sales role on a growing go-to-market team at an early-stage marketplace startup serving the specialized vehicle and emergency equipment sector. You'll own the full sales cycle and play a direct role in driving revenue and expanding the company's footprint with public-sector and commercial customers.
What You'll Do
  • Take end-to-end ownership of the sales cycle - from sourcing and discovery through to closing new logos.
  • Balance a roughly even split of inbound and outbound sales motions to build and maintain your own pipeline.
  • Travel regularly to meet customers in person, including fleet managers, fire chiefs, and other public-sector buyers.
  • Represent the company at industry conferences and customer-facing events.
  • Manage your book of business with a disciplined, organized approach using CRM tools.
What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of experience in Account Executive or full-cycle sales roles, including outbound prospecting and deal closing.
  • Prior experience at an early-stage, venture-backed startup.
  • Comfort balancing inbound and outbound sales motions simultaneously.
  • Proficiency with CRM platforms to manage pipeline and customer relationships.
  • Willingness and ability to travel regularly to meet customers in person.
  • Strong relationship-building skills with non-technical buyers.
  • Competitive drive with a collaborative, low-ego approach to working with teammates and customers.
  • Bonus: Experience selling into government municipalities or public-sector organizations (e.g., fire departments, EMS).
  • Bonus: Based in or near the Midwest, US South, West Coast, or Southeast.
Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: $93,000 - $118,000 USD annually. No visa sponsorship available.
Location

Fully remote (United States). Primary hiring focus on Los Angeles, CA, though candidates based elsewhere in the US are welcome to apply.
