Job Description

This is not your average AE job. You're not here to inherit a playbook — you're here to help build one. If you’ve been closing mid-market or enterprise deals and you're hungry to lead, influence product, and own a category, this is your launchpad.

You’ll be the first sales hire at a profitable, product-market-fit SaaS company backed by tier-one investors — already at $5M+ ARR in just 20 months. You’ll sell into performance-driven growth leaders at brands spending $1M+ annually on advertising. And you’ll be working directly with the founder and elite sales advisors to architect a repeatable motion from day one.

This role starts 80% IC, 20% strategic — and evolves quickly to 50/50. We’re looking for someone who can hunt, close, and scale — and who’s ready to lead the charge.

What You’ll Own

This is an end-to-end selling role, with strategic leadership layered in. Responsibilities will evolve — fast — and include:

  • Own the full sales cycle From first touch to final signature, with mid-market and enterprise clients (ACVs in the $20K–$50K range).

  • Partner with the CEO Collaborate on GTM strategy, messaging, and competitive positioning.

  • Build outbound engines Architect and iterate cold outbound programs (yes, you'll get dirty — and yes, it will make you dangerous).

  • Shape the sales org Lay the groundwork for team growth, territory planning, forecasting, and ops.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally Feed real-time customer insights into product and marketing. You’ll help define our roadmap as much as our revenue.

  • Sell into a sharp ICP Think VP Growth, CMO, or brand leaders at companies with real ad budgets and high creative throughput.

You Might Be the One If…

  • You’re a Senior AE, Team Lead, or Sales Manager ready for your founder’s seat at the GTM table.

  • You’ve had career velocity — internal promotions, rapid growth, or trajectory within high-performing orgs (logos are nice, but leveling up matters more).

  • You’re a systems thinker — not just a player-coach, but a process builder who sees the bigger picture.

  • You’ve done BDR/Outbound work — and you get why this makes you lethal as a closer.

  • You have domain awareness Experience selling into agencies, martech, or PLG orgs is a strong plus.

  • You think like a founder — not just closing the deal, but thinking about the why behind it.

Why This Role?

This is the rare chance to:

  • Join a company post-PMF, with real revenue, real retention, and real product love — before the GTM rocket takes off.

  • Work with founders and advisors who have scaled sales at world-class orgs.

  • Lead the future of creative marketing tech, at the intersection of AI, PLG, and performance growth.

  • Be the first, with outsized impact and equity to match.

This isn’t a turn-the-crank role. It’s a “come build the machine” opportunity.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Compensation: $150K–$200K base/$300-400k+(uncapped)

  • Equity: 0.1%–0.8% (early-stage, founder-level upside)

  • Hybrid Schedule: 3 days/week in FiDi office

  • Benefits:

    • Premium health/dental/vision

    • Unlimited PTO with founder flexibility

    • Early-stage equity at a de-risked but still very early company

    • Executive mentorship and founder access

    • Clear path to team leadership and head of sales scope
