What you’ll be doing:

In this role, you will own the full sales cycle—from prospecting and generating initial interest to closing deals—while coordinating closely with customer success, solutions/technical teams, and external partners such as integrators. You’ll manage complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities; develop detailed business plans to hit goals and quotas; and build executive-level relationships across industries to close strategic partnerships.

As we scale, you’ll shape our sales process by codifying playbooks and best practices, and help build the GTM team by interviewing and mentoring future sellers.

📍 Location: NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team.

What you’ll bring:
  • 3+ years of quota-carrying sales experience selling complex B2B software in mid-market or enterprise segments

  • Proven track record of success (President's Club or equivalent preferred)

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience

  • Enterprise relationship building: Experience developing relationships with C-suite executives and senior decision makers

  • Ability to work in office in Manhattan 5 days per week

What we’d love to see:
  • Finance Experience: Accounting, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or venture capital

  • Sold accounting/finance software into the office of the CFO

  • Startup experience: Background at high-growth companies during scale phases

What Success looks like in this role
  • Startup mindset: Excited about ambiguity and rapid growth

  • All-in: This is not a 9-5, we have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to further accelerate our velocity. We are optimizing for the best folks and happy to compensate generously.
