We're looking for an entrepreneurial sales professional to own the full B2B sales cycle at Artifact Uprising — from identifying and prospecting new business to managing inbound demand, closing deals, and helping establish the playbook for how we grow with organizational customers.
You'll join as our first dedicated B2B sales hire at a moment when demonstrated demand already exists, but much of that success has been generated opportunistically. You'll have the chance to develop outbound strategies for target markets, refine our sales process, and directly influence the future of the business. If you're energized by building from the ground up and want to sell products that customers genuinely love, this role offers a rare opportunity to create outsized impact within a growing brand.
Job Responsibilities
Research and identify target accounts and key decision-makers within target verticals; develop tailored outreach strategies by segment, vertical, and size
Build and execute prospecting sequences across email, phone, LinkedIn, and in-person channels
Represent AU at industry events, trade shows, and networking opportunities to generate field-sourced pipeline
Maintain a consistent top-of-funnel cadence and log all activity in CRM
Respond to all inbound MQL inquiries promptly (target: within 1 business hour)
Conduct discovery to further qualify leads, understand customization requirements, and assess fit
Manage inbound pipeline alongside outbound with consistent CRM hygiene
Prepare, present, and negotiate quotes that meet customer needs while remaining within vendor capabilities and target margins
Develop deep fluency in product options and customization to consult effectively
Collaborate with the AM to build and maintain a library of proposal templates, customization guides, and product explainers
Manage smooth customer handoffs to the AM with full context transferred before disengaging
Maintain clean CRM pipeline with accurate stage progression and revenue forecasting
Report weekly on activity metrics (outbound touches, meetings booked, pipeline created, close rate) broken down by source
Build automations and lightweight processes to improve pipeline flow and reporting
Stay current on competitor offerings, industry trends, and AU's market positioning

Qualifications
Takes full responsibility for revenue outcomes — proactive, results-oriented, finds solutions
Comfortable building from scratch; you don't need a warm seat to perform
1–4+ years in a full-funnel B2B sales role; experience with complex or customized products is a strong plus
Demonstrated ability to build pipeline outbound and convert inbound leads
Comfortable with multi-channel prospecting: cold email, cold call, LinkedIn, and in-person
Diagnoses customer needs and maps them to a nuanced product offering
Builds ROI framing that connects AU's products to meaningful organizational moments
Proficient in — or genuinely open to learning — CRM and sales engagement tools (HubSpot, Apollo, Outreach, or similar)
Strong CRM hygiene and pipeline discipline
Familiarity with print production, marketing services, or creative industries
Experience selling corporate gifting, branded merchandise, or event-driven purchases
You're an entrepreneurial, empathetic builder who takes full ownership of revenue outcomes and brings genuine curiosity to every customer conversation. You thrive in early-stage environments, adapt quickly, and are energized by the opportunity to create from scratch — not just execute a playbook someone else built.
