At Pluralsight, we see first-hand every day how technology makes the impossible possible. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to create progress through technology and develop the skills of tomorrow. Make the decision to be part of a mission-driven company that is changing the world.

  • Feel passionate about your career growth inside a company with outstanding growth rates, addressing a $31 billion market opportunity.


Pluralsight is the leading technology workforce development company. Over the last decade, we have transformed the tech skills development market, forever changing the way individuals and companies approach the never-ending need to learn tomorrow's tech skills. Through tech skill development, we help companies build better products, and we empower individuals to grow their skills and their careers. We're hiring sales people that want to make a significant impact in the world. Join us and help individuals and companies develop the tech skills of tomorrow.
What makes our Revenue Team amazing:

  • A collaborative, not cut-throat sales environment
  • We build extraordinary sales people through an emphasis on coaching, personal development, and growth
  • World-class enablement to support our entrepreneurial AEs - resources and processes that support the sales (versus getting in your way)
  • Comp packages that recognize performance with obtainable OTEs and realistic quotas
  • Unlimited PTO
  • 16+ weeks parental leave (16 weeks + 6 weeks flex time for primary caregiver)
  • Comprehensive medical coverage for you and your family.
  • Hybrid work models, blending the best of work-from-home independence and in-office team collaboration


In this role you'll get to:

  • Meet and exceed sales quotas - Build pipeline and be accountable for high volume prospecting, calling, and closing sales to generate growth for the business through well-researched and thoughtful emails and cold calls, execute a strategic sales process using Value-Selling sales methodology, and close customer contracts ranging in size from $2,000 to $1M
  • Be responsible for your business - Develop a territory strategy within your named accounts list, build demand generation plans in partnership with Marketing and Business Development, hold yourself accountable to key metrics, maintain Salesforce accuracy, and forecast your business accurately to leadership.

Engage CIOs, CTOs, and HR leaders in significant conversations about their business objectives. Develop your expertise in the technology skills teams require to achieve critical business goals.
  • Use internal and external tools to improve customer information - Enhance success with a world class SaaS toolkit, including Salesforce, Outreach, Sales Navigator, and other tools.


What it takes to thrive:

  • You have utmost ownership of your business, driven to acquire new business and identifying new opportunities

What you'll provide:

  • 3-5 years B2B sales or account management experience, selling multi-year SaaS contracts into the C-Suite
  • Track record of exceeding quota
  • Strong eye for business and value-selling sales experience, engaging senior executives in conversations about their business goals and challenges
  • Full sales cycle expertise with an emphasis on business development, heavy prospecting, building pipeline, pipeline management, developing mutual buying plans, and forecasting business


Growth-focus:
We embrace an attitude of continuous improvement and encourage our team members to take ownership of their careers. As part of that, we advise leaders and team members to partner in co-creating growth plans. Career growth can look different to different folks. For one person it could be up-skilling to level up on their current track. For another it could be re-skilling to develop new competencies for a different type of role. Others want to apply existing skills in new ways to expand their influence within the organization. Whatever their goals are, we believe in investing in skills development and connecting folks to experiences that create pathways to new opportunities for them. To support growth and development, we block time every other week for learning, allocate a budget to professional development spend, host career weeks, and provide career development toolkits.

An Insider's view of Pluralsight

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Oh, it is incredible here. Pluralsight constantly reminds me how important I am to the company both personally and professionally. Pluralsight creates a space where I can work, grow, and connect with similar people in so many different parts of the world while still leaving enough room for me to focus and find joy in my personal life as well.

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

The goal of a user profile is to provide a sense of identity in a personalized and centralized portfolio. Today, users provide this data in many different ways throughout the platform. Our greatest challenge is to build a unified profile with a centralized view of a user’s data to paint one clear picture of all their interactions in the platform.

What does career growth look like on your team?

We embrace a mindset of continuous improvement and encourage team members to take ownership of their careers. As part of that, we advise leaders and team members to co-create development plans. Whether it be up-skilling, re-skilling, or expanding their influence we believe in investing skills development and facilitating growth experiences.

SVP of Skills Content Platform

What makes someone successful on your team?

A successful individual brings their true self to work. Teams do not benefit from a group that contains like minded individuals from similar backgrounds. We learn so much from each other and about ourselves when we have a team with diverse ways of thinking and experiences. It also creates a healthy, challenging environment that befits the company.
