You will spend the majority of your time demoing prospects on our web-based products and following up with them with an eye on closing new business.

This is a unique sales opportunity to enter into a high-growth company that has found product-market fit, but which is (very) far from exhausting its addressable market.

Requirements

Bachelors degree (or relevant work experience) 4+ years experience selling software or technology solutions, services, or applications Must have SaaS experience 3+ years of experience building a pipeline, qualifying, and identifying deals you can close Strong communication and persuading skills Top performance in prior roles, with growing levels of responsibility Advanced working knowledge of technology, venture capital and emerging industry trends
