About the role

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the first go-to-market hire at an AI company, you will build the early enterprise sales motion and own both prospecting and closing. This hands-on individual contributor role combines business development and full-cycle sales, with customer insights feeding directly into product decisions.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Identify the best-fit buyer personas and enterprise customer segments.
  • Build outbound campaigns from the ground up, including prospect lists, email sequences, and channel tests.
  • Experiment with sales channels and tactics, using results to decide what to continue or change.
  • Source and close deals, setting clear success criteria with customers for each pilot.
  • Independently scope and run proofs of concept through to a customer decision.
  • Learn how AI agents work with customers and relay their needs, feedback, and objections to the product team.
  • Manage a sales budget and take ownership of pipeline and closing targets.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 1 to 7 years of experience, with a record of personally sourcing and closing enterprise deals and consistently exceeding quota.
  • Experience independently running customer proofs of concept.
  • Ability to quickly understand a prospect's business model and financial metrics, and discuss relevant numbers early in the sales process.
  • Fluency with modern go-to-market tools and experience building custom sales workflows and automation.
  • Strong written communication for technical and financial stakeholders.
  • Resourcefulness in reaching decision-makers when standard outreach channels are not effective.
  • A data-driven, experimental approach to sales, plus resilience and a collaborative mindset.
  • Interest in how AI agents may change enterprise work. Startup, founder, or competitive athletics experience is relevant.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base salary: $80,000 to $120,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

LOCATION

On-site five days a week in San Francisco, California, United States.
