Requirements
  • Experience – A lot of experience isn’t needed. We can teach you the fundamentals of customer acquisition. But we can’t teach you how to be innately driven to solve really tough problems. We need someone with that drive.
  • Curiosity – You’re hungry to learn new things, see different perspectives, and conquer fresh challenges. You're excited to work across diverse teams and understand how technical solutions solve real business problems.
  • Technical Aptitude – You enjoy solving complex problems and genuinely want to understand how technology can make prospective customers' lives better, especially when working with technical products.
  • Relationship-Building Skills – You're naturally great at reading people, building trust quickly, and turning skeptics into champions. You know how to navigate complex deals while keeping everyone excited about the path forward.
  • Outstanding Communication – You can break down technical concepts in a way that makes sense to everyone, whether they're engineers or executives, and you communicate clearly in conversations and writing (whether it be Notion, Apollo, Slack, or SFDC).
  • Growth Mindset – You're adaptable and driven to outperform. You take feedback well and are always looking to level up, thriving in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Responsibilities
  • You’ll play a key driver in our revenue growth, leading new customer acquisition through a consultative approach, and helping expand Persona’s footprint in key markets.
  • You’ll partner directly with our COO, VP of Sales and sometimes even our Founders, leveraging their expertise to move faster and win bigger.
