  • Build deep relationships with engineers, product leaders and executives (e.g. CTOs, VP Product, VP Data Science, etc.)—become a trusted product specialist and subject matter expert to our customers.
  • Work directly with our CEO to refine our sales strategy, iterate on messaging, and build upon sales systems, tools and processes.
  • Provide structured feedback to engineering to help improve our product and identify opportunities for new use cases that expand our total addressable market.
  • Maintain sales pipeline and forecasting hygiene—always providing a realistic view with an understanding of what could accelerate or put key deals at risk

  • 1+ year of enterprise sales experience
  • Experience selling B2B SaaS products
  • Proficiency in technical products and APIs
