About the job

Senior Sales Manager

Turnkey is pioneering a next-generation key-management and wallet-infrastructure API designed for security, flexibility, and developer-first ease. Founded by the team that scaled Coinbase Custody from zero to more than $100 billion in assets under custody, Turnkey is rewriting the rules of crypto infrastructure by tackling core security at its foundational level. Their platform enables developers and enterprises to build embedded wallets, AI agent–driven flows, programmable key management, and at-scale transaction services — unlocking mass-market crypto adoption.

Developers stay fully in charge of their keys while gaining the kind of protection trusted by leading financial institutions. At Turnkey, you’ll be building the backbone of the next wave of digital innovation. With a focus on security, transparency, and control, the company isn’t just creating tools — it’s shaping the infrastructure that will let crypto evolve openly, collaboratively, and at scale.

• Drive consistent attainment across mid-market and enterprise segments.

• Build repeatable, scalable sales processes as Turnkey enters its next growth stage.

• Ensure pipeline quality, strong forecasting discipline, and predictable execution.

• Partner with marketing and product to strengthen market traction.

• Create clear promotion paths and manage career growth across pods.

• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and high performance.

• Ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Leadership.

• Motivated by autonomy, ownership, and helping build a sales org from the ground up.

• A builder at heart—you enjoy creating scalable systems, not just running existing ones.

• Located in the NYC area and open to hybrid work.
