About the job

Requirements
  • At least 7 years of experience in B2B sales or entrepreneurship as a business owner selling software as a service or services, including at least 3 years leading a sales team.
  • Experience scaling a high-velocity sales motion from scratch rather than inheriting an existing playbook.
  • Ability to operate as a player-coach, joining live calls to help close deals and then debriefing with the representative.
  • Strong revenue operations instincts, including personally designing pipeline stages, forecasting processes, and conversion metrics.
  • Experience changing ideal customer profiles or qualification criteria based on post-sales or activation data.
  • Personal use of artificial intelligence in a sales workflow and a considered perspective on which workflows to automate with agents versus keep human-led.
Responsibilities
  • Implement and enforce a sales methodology, coaching representatives to improve their selling.
  • Design and enforce sales stages and a sales playbook.
  • Establish and own go-to-market recruiting, revenue operations, and sales enablement.
  • Personally drive enterprise deals with the top 50 accounting firms, engaging multiple stakeholders.
  • Partner closely with the Head of Customer on activation feedback and deal quality.
  • Drive artificial-intelligence-native sales by integrating agentic capabilities into workflows to reduce representative headcount needs as the company scales.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience selling to accountants, bookkeepers, or accounting firms.
  • Experience scaling a sales team from 2–3 representatives to more than 15.
  • Experience building or shipping agentic or artificial-intelligence-native sales capabilities, not just using vendor tools.
  • A background combining consulting, banking, or strategy with frontline account executive experience.
