Full Job Description
Turn proven PMF into a global, category-defining growth engine

As Head of Business Development, you will be our first sales hire and the person who turns this traction into a repeatable enterprise GTM machine. This is not a "follow a script" role. You'll build the playbook, run executive deal cycles, and create the systems and team around you. You don't need a niche background selling "data products" specifically - we'll bet on a super smart, highly driven builder who can learn fast, earn trust with executives, and close.

What You'll Do
  • Own enterprise growth outcomes end to end: pipeline → close → expansion
  • Build the GTM playbook: ICP, messaging, pricing posture, and process
  • Run VP/SVP/C-level conversations and drive decisions with urgency
  • Turn discovery into pilots, and pilots into multi-year partnerships
  • Build trusted customer relationships that compound into expansions and referrals
  • Create a real operating system: CRM discipline, stages, metrics, forecasting
  • Partner with product/data/eng to deliver outcomes customers will pay for
  • Learn from the market fast: win/loss, objections, ROI proof, narrative
  • Use next-gen AI tools to increase research depth, outreach, and velocity


You Might Be a Fit If...
  • 5+ years in B2B sales, BD, sales ops, partnerships, consulting, or a high-output GTM role
  • Proven ability to own a number and close complex, multi-stakeholder deals
  • Comfortable speaking with senior executives and earning trust quickly
  • Builder mindset: you create structure, playbooks, and repeatability
  • Fast learner with strong product instincts and sharp customer empathy
  • High standards and high output: you qualify hard, move fast, and close
  • Clear communicator who can write crisp notes, plans, and follow-ups
  • Thrive without heavy process, QA buffers, or endless safeguards
  • Hungry, driven, and motivated by ownership and big outcomes


Why Boam AI
  • Be the first sales hire and build the GTM function around you
  • Join at the rare moment: PMF + marquee logos + profitability + scale-up runway
  • Work directly with the CEO on the highest-stakes growth priorities every week
  • Sell a product with clear ROI and a defensible, compounding data moat
  • High autonomy, real authority, and clear ownership from day one
  • Top-tier compensation with meaningful equity upside
  • Help build a global, category-defining company from the inside
