Head of SalesLead and scale the team selling both sides of Vast.ai's GPU marketplace-with revenue on track to 10x. Player-manager role reporting to the COO, onsite 5 days a week in Westwood, Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, CA • On-site • Full-time • $140K-$185K base • ~$260K-$375K OTE • Equity
You will initially lead two quota-carrying reps across enterprise demand and strategic supply. Over the next 12-18 months, you will determine the appropriate team structure, hire against demonstrated capacity, and turn our early sales motion into a repeatable operating system.
This is a player-manager role at an inflection point. You will spend the majority of your time coaching reps, running sales operations, and building the tooling and incentive systems that let us scale without breaking. The revenue engine and team already exist; your mandate is to grow them aggressively. As our product offerings and outreach expand, you'll be the person who scales the sales org behind it-growing the team, the pipeline, and the playbook in lockstep with the business. This role is onsite 5 days a week in our Westwood, Los Angeles office.
