Job Description
Who you are Player-coach. You're close enough to selling that you'd run the discovery call yourself. You'll be in the top deals every quarter, not watching from a dashboard A leader people follow. Whether you've managed sellers for ten years or you're stepping into your first management seat, you know what makes people tick and how to lead them. AEs run through walls for you because you inspire them and make them better Recruiter at heart. You know the team is the ceiling. The best AEs in your network want to work for you again. High bar for talent, great at hiring Revenue instinct. You have a nose for what's working and what isn't. You're sharp with data, and you can pattern-match from a handful of interactions before the data is conclusive. You build the playbook from what you see, not import one from your last company A simplifier. Most leaders add. You subtract. You can look at a tangled funnel, a bloated roadmap, or a messy org and find the one move that makes everything else obvious. You're hand on keyboard and love tinkering with and understanding how everything works Comfortable with ambiguity. ICP isn't fixed, pricing might change, the product ships weekly. You'd rather build in motion than wait for clarity, and you update your point of view the moment the market tells you you're wrong Deep sense of urgency. Every company is re-evaluating their GTM stack right now. The window is open and we're playing to win.

What works for our team becomes what works for every sales team running on Mutiny The calls you make on hiring, motion, and product feedback will shape the company well beyond the sales org Revenue. Sales-led revenue, end-to-end. Pipeline, conversion, ARR, retention, and expansion. The number is yours PLG to enterprise. Define qualification, build the enterprise pipeline, and turn self-serve signups at companies like Rippling, Uber, Snowflake, Zendesk, and Gusto into seven-figure deals Outbound. Generate net new meetings with the hottest AI companies and enterprises in the market. Build the motion, run it yourself first, then teach it The team. Hire, coach, and develop a team of Account Executives into top performers. The ceiling on revenue is the ceiling on the team you build The playbook. Write the sales motion that becomes the default for every team running on Mutiny. What works here ships to thousands of customers Market feedback. Bring customer and market intelligence back into product and GTM strategy. What you hear on calls shows up in next week's roadmap Benefits You will create a name for yourself by bringing a level of design polish never before seen in this category while developing a spicy brand (in an otherwise boring space). You will get exposure to real business problems every company faces (growth) that you can take with you to start your own company (or to help scale another). You will have fun, plain and simple. There is a reason our first company value is that work should feel like play. You will experience a new way of working. Our team is fully distributed across the US and EU. But we come together as a company for quarterly offsites (usually in super fun places). This combination of experience-based working is a competitive advantage we plan on leaning into.
