Job Description

Pylon is a Series B, AI-native B2B company building the next generation of customer support.

Legacy platforms like Zendesk and Salesforce Service Cloud were built around tickets. Pylon is built around accounts, real-time collaboration, and AI-driven customer intelligence.

This is a massive market with incumbents that weren’t built for AI-first workflows.

Company

  • Series B, $51M raised

  • Backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, Y Combinator

  • 69 employees

  • Offices in San Francisco and New York City

The Role

  • Manage and coach a team of 6-10 Account Executives

  • Help build, document, and scale our sales playbooks (commercial and upmarket)

  • Drive consistent execution across inbound and outbound motions

  • Partner closely with leadership to refine segmentation, quotas, and process

  • Lead deal reviews, pipeline inspection, forecasting, and performance management

  • Recruit AEs

Why now

We’ve built a strong AE bench and proven PMF. The next phase is scaling managers and process — this role helps turn what works today into a repeatable, high-performing sales org.

Requirements

  • 2+ years managing SaaS AEs

  • Experience scaling a team beyond the “early reps” phase

  • Strong coaching instincts and operational rigor

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building process from scratch

  • Based in SF or NYC and willing to work in-person

Nice to Haves

  • Experience managing teams selling $10k–$100k+ ARR deals

  • Experience in competitive, incumbent-heavy markets

  • Familiarity with AI-driven or technical products

Sales Stack

  • Salesforce

  • Scratchpad

  • Salesbricks

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • Fun offsites (South Korea, Hawaii)

  • Monthly SPIFFs (e.g. 49ers game, oura ring)

  • Unlimited PTO (take what you need)
