About the Role

This is a founding sales hire at an early-stage AI-native pricing and monetization SaaS startup, reporting directly to the founders.

What You'll Do

  • Own the complete enterprise sales cycle from self-sourced prospecting through discovery, negotiation, and close.
  • Run consultative discovery with senior stakeholders including CFOs, CROs, CPOs, and heads of monetization and growth.
  • Carry and accurately forecast an ambitious revenue target while maintaining healthy pipeline week to week.
  • Design, document, and iterate the enterprise sales playbook covering outreach, qualification, deal structure, commercial terms, and close mechanics.
  • Partner directly with founders on GTM strategy, ideal customer profile, and positioning, feeding market insight back into product and roadmap.
  • Establish CRM discipline and an operating rhythm for pipeline hygiene, prioritization, and clean forecasting.
  • Leverage and improve AI agents and automated workflows to handle repeatable buyer-journey tasks, reserving human judgment for key deal moments.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to customers and translate live-deal learnings into actionable feedback for product and engineering.

What We're Looking For

  • 5 to 8 or more years of enterprise B2B tech sales experience with a proven track record of closing high-ACV deals end-to-end.
  • Demonstrated success carrying and exceeding revenue targets with self-sourced pipeline generation.
  • Strong experience running multi-stakeholder enterprise deals and building consensus up to C-level.
  • Proficiency with CRM and sales-engagement platforms such as Salesforce and Gong, including building automations for repeatable sales tasks.
  • Comfort working with AI-driven workflows and directing AI tools within a sales process.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity early-stage startup environment.
  • Professional fluency in English.
  • Experience with pricing, monetization, or CPQ and billing solutions is a strong plus.
