VP, Sales- Majors

Serval is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end — replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, and Brex to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations.
At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows. Our agents don’t just respond to requests — they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering.
Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we’re building the universal AI operations layer — a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving.
We’re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others.

As VP of Sales, Majors at Serval, you'll own the majors segment and build the team, systems, and strategy to win it. This is a rare opportunity to join a Sequoia-backed AI company at Series B and define how we go to market across the 5–10k employee segment — a high-value, complex tier of large enterprises that represents a significant portion of our total addressable market.

You'll come in as a third-line leader, building and scaling a layered organization of frontline managers and Enterprise AEs from the ground up. You'll define segment strategy, territory architecture, and the majors playbook — then hire the team to execute it. This is not a role for someone who wants to inherit a machine. It's for someone who wants to build one.

You'll partner directly with the founders and GTM leadership to shape enterprise strategy, influence product and pricing, and drive predictable, compounding revenue growth in the largest deals we run.
