Help us scale: Contribute to improving sales processes and playbooks as the team grows.
Stay curious: Continue learning about cloud, AWS, and DevOps to understand customer needs and industry trends.
What You’ll Bring:
3+ years of closing experience in SaaS, ideally within cloud, DevOps, or adjacent technical spaces.
Hunter mindset: Demonstrated success generating and closing new business.
Sales fundamentals: Experience with structured sales methodologies (e.g., Sandler, MEDDPICC, Force Management).
Team-first approach: Comfortable collaborating across functions and learning from feedback.
Strong communication skills: Confident engaging both technical and business stakeholders.
Tech comfort: Familiarity with AWS/DevOps concepts and tools like Salesforce, Zoom, G-Suite/Office, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Growth mindset: Motivated by fast-paced environments and excited to level up as the business scales.
Why Join Us:
High visibility & real impact: A lean sales team where your contributions are noticed and valued.
Greenfield opportunity: Large addressable market with room to build and grow new customer relationships.
