What You'll Do
Identify the buyer personas and market segments best suited to the product.
Build outbound campaigns from the ground up, including prospect lists, email sequences, and channel tests.

Run customer proofs of concept independently, from scoping through the final decision.
Hold hands-on sales conversations with AI agents to understand their workflows and needs.
Share customer feedback and objections with the product team to inform roadmap decisions.
Manage a sales budget and take ownership of pipeline and closing targets.
What We're Looking For

Experience building custom workflows and automation with modern go-to-market tools.
Strong written communication for both technical and financial stakeholders.
Resourcefulness in finding paths to decision-makers when standard outreach is ineffective, and a data-driven approach to testing sales channels.
Background in enterprise sales, early-stage startups, founding a company, or competitive athletics.
Interest in how AI agents can change work inside enterprises, and a preference for hands-on individual contributor work.
