  • Build and manage a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities through proactive outreach, targeted research, and industry networking.
  • Lead end-to-end sales cycles—from initial discovery, executive alignment, and contract negotiation—ensuring a seamless transition to onboarding and implementation.
  • Engage C-suite and senior decision-makers with a consultative sales approach focused on solving critical workforce challenges.
  • Consistently achieve or exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets aligned to a $200K+ average deal size, averaging 10 net-new logos per year. 
  • Foster long-term client relationships post-sale, identifying opportunities for expansion and continued partnership.
  • Stay informed on industry trends, market dynamics, and Instawork’s evolving value proposition to position our solutions effectively.
  • Travel expectations: 40% annually (on-site client visits, tradeshows, conferences, events)

  • Act Like an Owner
    We work long, hard, and smart, building products that delight our users and drive growth. Your ability to impact Instawork is limited only by your courage and conviction, not your job description.
