Full Job Description
ABOUT THE ROLE

Open to hiring remote across North America - NYC, San Francisco, or Denver preferred.

You will carry a book of 40-60 growth and emerging accounts - companies in the <$1B range, closing 25-40 deals a year at $40k-$100k and building toward larger standard deal sizes as our packaging moves upmarket. You work in a pod with a dedicated Growth Engagement Manager on a shared book, with a comp plan designed to maximize earnings and customer value.

We are architecting the best GTM team in all of AI. If you want to grow, run fast, and sell with a leading-edge frontier AI company with room to grow your career, please apply.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Run a high-velocity full-cycle motion: 25-40 closed deals a year across inbound and outbound
  • Qualify hard and fast - your book is big, your calendar is the scarce resource, orientation to clear ROI and value orientation is a must
  • Push deal size up: committed-volume, use-case expansion plays that turn $30k starts into $100k+ repeatable motions
  • Turn product signals (usage spikes, team signups, credit burn) into pipeline
  • Work with your pod's Engagement Manager so new customers hit consumption targets and your held-back commission unlocks


WHAT YOU'LL NEED
  • 3-5+ years of full-cycle closing experience in SaaS/AI with a quota record above 100%
  • Velocity evidence: 20+ closed deals a year, multi-channel prospecting, disciplined qualification
  • Native AI-tool fluency - you already sell with AI in your workflow, not despite it
  • Writing and demo skills strong enough to carry a deal without a solutions engineer
  • Coachability with a track record: name the coaching that changed your numbers


STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO HAVE
  • Sold to creative or marketing teams
  • PLG or usage-signal selling experience
  • BDR-to-AE promotion in your history - we like people who earned the chair
