About this roleWe’re hiring a smart generalist to become an expert on our product and lead both sales demos and customer implementations. You’ll guide customers through their journey with us, from technical sales support to hands-on onboarding, project management, and customer success. This is a unique opportunity to learn a complex b2b product in great depth, build long-term customer relationships, contribute to sales processes, work closely with our engineers, and join a team as it grows from $Xm to $XXm in revenue. You will report directly to our co-founder/CEO.
Why are we hiring this role?We grew our customer count 18x YoY. We’re closing and onboarding 5-8 new customers per week. We simply can’t manage this pace going forward with our current headcount.By hiring a dedicated person in this role, we will expand our capacity to run more sales demos and onboard more customers in a shorter period. This will enable us to sign more customers faster and release a constraint holding us back from hitting our aggressive growth goals this year.
