Your work will help build the sales foundation and contribute directly to revenue growth.

Partner with company leadership to refine the ideal customer profile, test messaging, and develop the sales playbook.
Share customer challenges and feedback with product and engineering partners.

Zero to two years of professional experience, or a recent graduate, with direct sales or Account Executive experience.
Experience closing enterprise deals and selling HR technology.
A demonstrated ability to prospect, generate pipeline, and close, including through internships, campus sales roles, or sales development experience.
Experience building sales pipeline or processes from scratch in a startup or small business environment.
Strong communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills, with comfort working autonomously in a fast-moving and ambiguous environment.
Interest or experience in HR, finance, or AI is helpful.
Authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
