Summary

This role is ideal for an early-career sales professional with 1–3 years of experience in high-growth B2B software environments. You should be a "builder" who enjoys working in the "gray area" of a maturing startup, as you’ll be helping define sales playbooks rather than just following them. A proven track record of hitting quotas and strong technical aptitude are essential for selling a versatile product like this. The compensation is highly competitive, with a Total On-Target Earnings (OTE) range of $150,000–$180,000. While the listing mentions "remote," it is actually a **hybrid role** based in San Francisco, requiring in-office collaboration on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. This is a high-impact position where you’ll handle the full sales cycle—from prospecting new logos to managing renewals and expansion for strategic accounts. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Thrive in a fast-paced environment where you help create the sales processes you use. * Can translate complex business challenges into compelling product demos and executive-level presentations. * Want to work on a product you likely already use, backed by a massive global user base. * Live in (or are willing to commute to) San Francisco three days a week.
