About the Role
This is a full-cycle sales role where you will generate your own pipeline through outbound prospecting, run the sales process end to end, and close. The differentiator is your ability to find and bridge gaps between prospect needs and the current product using AI tools to prototype solutions.
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle sales, including sourcing, qualifying, running discovery and demos, negotiating, and closing new business.
- Build and execute an outbound motion (email, LinkedIn, calling, AI tools) to fill your pipeline.
- Identify where the current product doesn't fully meet a prospect's workflow or requirement during discovery and demo calls.
- Use AI coding tools to rapidly prototype solutions that address prospect needs.
- Quickly and technically assess when a prospect's need cannot be reasonably solved.
- Translate field learnings and prototypes into structured input for Product and Engineering.
- Accurately forecast and manage pipeline in the CRM.
Requirements
- 3+ years of full-cycle, mid-market/enterprise, B2B SaaS sales experience.
- Track record of self-sourced pipeline, closed-won revenue, and quota attainment.
- Genuine hands-on comfort with modern AI coding tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, v0, Replit) and experience shipping with them.
- Technical fluency to reason about feasibility (e.g., quick script vs. API integration vs. engineering lift).
- Strong outbound instincts.
- Comfortable in front of technical and executive buyers.
- Ability to translate business pain into a sales narrative and a technical prototype.
- Curious, low-ego, and energized by ambiguity.
