About the Company

An Atomic portfolio company: the all-in-one software platform for an under-penetrated specialty-retail vertical, with point-of-sale, e-commerce, inventory, payments, and compliance in one system of record. 1000+ independent retailers run their stores on it, processing $700M+ in annual card volume. It is part of a permanent-capital software holding company that buys vertical software businesses and rebuilds them as AI-native, backed by Atomic (a $1bn fund and the studio behind Hims & Hers).

About the Role

You are Head of Sales for this company, and you set the sales playbook for the holding company's first acquisition and every one after it. The market already pulls: with no marketing and almost no outbound, stores still sign up every month. You start as a team of one plus a BDR, sell directly from day one, and build the machine the holding company will install at each business it buys.

What You'll Do...

• Sell, personally: this is not a manage-only seat. You carry your own deals, take the biggest ones, and shape the pitch before the team runs it. Always be closing.

• Own the whole funnel: inbound, demand gen, and outbound have no owner today; you stand each one up.

• Build and lead the team: from one to 5-6 in year one; bringing 2-3 AEs you trust is a plus.

• Help set the number, then own it: no quota in stone yet; you set it with us, then own the forecast.

• AI-first motion: reps own the conversation and the close; AI does research, follow-up, CRM, and coaching.

• Write the playbook: the stages, metrics, and weekly cadence the next portfolio company will run.

What You'll Bring...

• Scaled ARR and a sales team from ~$2-5M to $20-30M in SMB SaaS, ideally at a PE-backed company.

• You've seen this movie before: you built an SMB sales org from scratch and still love to close.

• True SMB selling: ~$5-20K ACVs to owner-operators, not enterprise; vertical SaaS, POS, or payments a plus.

• Strong experience with the phone: you love cold outbound, have mastered closing deals on the phone and scaled it across a team, and still get in the trenches cold calling with them.

• Operating rigor: a clean CRM, an honest forecast, and comp plans that drive the right behavior.

• AI-native instincts: you already use AI to make reps faster and want to build a team around it.

• Extreme ownership: you take full accountability for the team, the number, and the outcomes.

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
