4-8 years closing complex B2B deals. Quota-carrying AE roles, with consistent attainment. ACV
background flexible, but you've sold something with real diagnostic conversation — not
transactional or self-serve.
• Demonstrable multi-thread closing motion. In an interview, you'll walk us through the longest
sales cycle you've closed: which stakeholders you mapped, how you sequenced them, where it
almost died, and what you did to get it across the line. We want specifics — names, roles, and the
actual moves you made.
• Comfort selling to operationally complex buyers. You've sold into mid-market or enterprise
companies where the buyer had to think about systems of record, approval flows, and
procurement — not just SMB single-decision-maker deals. Direct experience selling into
government contractors, defense, facilities management, professional services, or AEC is a strong
plus.
• Hunger and craft. You treat sales as a craft. You read about it, study sellers you admire, run your
pipeline like it's a P&L, and generate your own when you need to. You don't need SDRs to
manufacture urgency inside live deals, and you're energized — not threatened — by selling with
the founder in the room. You're not looking for a comfortable seat — you're looking for a place
where your output compounds.
• Founding-stage temperament. You're energized by early-stage environments where the process
exists but isn't fully scaled, the enablement isn't a machine yet, and the demo environment isn't
always polished. You're willing to wear multiple hats, sharpen the playbook through your own
reps, and help shape how the GTM motion grows from here.
• Comfort with a moving target. What we sell, and who we sell it to, will keep evolving. The
platform, the solutions, and the ICP we lean into hardest will continue to shift as we learn what's
working. You need to be the kind of seller who can hold a confident point of view in a discovery
call while the ground under the product is still moving, and who updates their pitch in real time as
the company sharpens. If you need a frozen product, a frozen ICP, and a frozen deck to sell well,
this seat will frustrate you.
• HubSpot fluency. We run our pipeline, sequences, and reporting in HubSpot. You're comfortable
working in it natively and have opinions about how to structure it well
