About the job

Requirements
  • The candidate must have a track record as a quota-carrying B2B seller with direct experience in workflow design, live demonstrations, or technical sales.
  • The candidate must have frontline sales management experience, including building an operating cadence, managing performance, and developing talent from onboarding through consistent overperformance.
  • The candidate must be able to coach by reviewing demonstrations or deals, identifying specifically what to change, why, and what the representative should do differently next time.
  • The candidate must have team-level commercial judgment, including the ability to read pipeline health, identify risk early, and drive urgency across a team without micromanaging individual deals.
  • The candidate must have a strong interest in the evolving AI landscape, stay attuned to industry trends and developments, and be curious and willing to adopt AI tools.
  • The candidate must have native or bilingual-level fluency in Japanese and business-level English proficiency in speaking, listening, and reading, including the ability to support team members with global communication.
Responsibilities
  • Own the team's commercial performance across new logo ARR, expansion ARR, and UBP outcomes, and be accountable for both headline results and execution quality.
  • Coach Solutions Consultants on the GTM builder motion, including workflow diagnosis and current-to-future architecture in first meetings, live builds in Notion and value narratives in second meetings, and the full cycle through adoption hand-off.
  • Contribute to and participate in the regional operating cadence, including weekly pipeline reviews, deal support sessions, call reviews against the motion quality rubric, and forecast calls with senior leadership.
  • Hire, onboard, and certify new Solutions Consultants in the GTM builder motion; drive readiness from ramp through consistent execution; and manage performance when expectations are not met.
  • Partner with the regional BDR manager on pipeline strategy, outbound targeting, and qualification standards to maintain and grow the team's book of business.
  • Partner with Outcomes leadership on adoption hand-offs, at-risk account management, and renewal strategy; own the region's overall commercial arc while collaborating on post-close execution.
  • Represent the team or region in leadership forums and communicate what is working, what needs investment, and where execution is breaking down.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience selling or managing in a consumption- or usage-based business where adoption signals matter as much as closed ARR.
  • A track record of building high-performing regional teams from an early stage through hiring to profile, structured onboarding, certification, and performance management.
  • Experience in a shared account ownership model, navigating SC/CSA hand-offs and holding the commercial arc across the full customer lifecycle.

About the company

Notion builds a workspace app where people and teams write notes and documents, plan projects, and keep company wikis, all made from the same flexible blocks. It announced an AI writing assistant built on an OpenAI model in November 2022, two weeks before ChatGPT's launch set off the generative AI boom. A page can mix text, checklists, and databases that turn into task boards or calendars, while AI agents search the workspace and connected apps like Slack and run routine tasks on a schedule. Notion is free for individuals, and teams pay per-member subscriptions plus credits to run custom agents. Notion was founded in 2013, released its app in 2016, and is based in San Francisco.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • AI pays off: customers using AI drove over 50% of Notion's recurring revenue in 2025, more than double 2024's share.
  • Equity turns into cash early: investors bought $270 million of staff shares in January 2026, open to nearly every employee.
  • Room to start a career: Notion listed 133 open roles in October 2026, including new-grad engineering jobs and 2027 internships.

What critics are saying

  • Equity has barely grown: Notion's valuation rose only from $10 billion in 2021 to $11 billion by January 2026.
  • Microsoft competes head-on at scale: its Loop app mirrors Notion, and Copilot passed 30 million paid seats in July 2026.
  • Expect three office days a week: Notion's October 2026 job posts require Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in the office.

What makes Notion unique

  • Teams, not solo users, pay the bills: about 90% of Notion's business comes from shared team workspaces.
  • Unlike most startups, it funds itself: Notion has more cash than the $330 million it has raised, its COO said.
  • Startups' default workspace: Notion says 98% of the Forbes Cloud 100, the top private cloud companies, use it.

Notion acquires WorkFlowy to merge AI-powered outlining with structured databases

Notion has acquired minimalist outlining tool WorkFlowy for an undisclosed sum, aiming to blend rapid, keyboard-driven workflows with structured database capabilities. WorkFlowy will remain a standalone app through at least the end of 2027. A new "Notion Flow" block, expected in beta next quarter, will bring WorkFlowy's infinite zooming and nested outlining directly into Notion pages. The integration will leverage Notion AI to transform hierarchical outlines into formatted databases or technical documents. The acquisition targets developers, researchers, and project managers who previously used WorkFlowy for rapid brainstorming before migrating data into Notion for formalisation. By combining both tools, users can move from ideation to documentation without switching platforms. The full integration will roll out to Notion Enterprise customers in Q4 2026, intensifying competition with rivals like Obsidian, Roam Research, and Mem.

Notion launches developer platform to orchestrate AI agents and automate workflows

Notion has introduced a developer platform that transforms its workspace into an orchestration hub for AI agents. The platform allows teams to deploy custom code, connect external agents, and build automated workflows that pull data from any database. The new Workers feature enables customers to run custom code in a secure cloud environment without external infrastructure. Database sync, powered by Workers, can pull real-time data from sources like Salesforce and Postgres into Notion databases. Since launching Custom Agents in February, Notion customers have built over one million agents. The platform now supports external agents including Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, allowing users to chat with them and track progress alongside Notion's native agents. The Developer Platform is available on Business and Enterprise plans, with Workers free through August.

GIC invests $270M in Notion through employee share sale at $11B valuation

Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC has invested $270 million in Notion through a private tender offer, valuing the AI workspace company at $11 billion. Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures joined GIC in purchasing shares from current and former Notion employees. The transaction provides employee liquidity whilst bringing new institutional capital. Notion removed the one-year vesting cliff on employee options to allow nearly all staff to participate. The investment follows Notion's expansion into Singapore with a regional office opened in mid-2025. Notion's AI-powered features now drive over 50% of annual recurring revenue, which recently surpassed $600 million. The platform serves over 100 million users worldwide across 21 languages. The $11 billion valuation represents a slight increase from Notion's 2022 tender offer at $10 billion.
