  • Work cross-functionally and collaboratively with internal teams (sales, inside sales, customer success, solution engineer, deal-desk, ops, legal)

  • 5+ years of relevant experience including full cycle sales at a fast growing IT company

  • A track record of high achievement in current and previous roles hitting or exceeding quotas

  • A phenomenally strong communicator

  • Engaging and compelling presentation skills

  • A positive and openness minded attitude

  • A strong desire to be successful without sacrificing your values

  • A builder mentality who thrives in collaborative environments

  • An ability to operate within the gray and find creative or out-of-the-box solutions when faced with ambiguity

  • Grit and tenacity to achieve your goals and contribute to our mission

Nice to Haves:
  • You've been an early sales hire at a fast growing start up before

  • You've got strong technical chops

  • Direct sales plus experience of selling through Partners

  • Experience of quarterly sales planning

  • New logo acquisition sales experience

Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Notion.
