Job Summary

Own the outbound prospecting motion and the full-cycle deals from discovery to signature, while collaborating with founders and feeding product with market feedback.

  • Own multi-channel ICP-driven prospecting and tooling stack
  • Lead end-to-end deals from discovery to close with founder involvement on key opportunities
  • Speak to technical buyers, run deep evals, and demo credibly with engineering leadership

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build the outbound machine. Design and run the full prospecting motion: ICP definition, account research, multi-channel sequences (email, LinkedIn, phone, events), and the tooling stack behind it.
  • Close full-cycle. Run discovery, demos, technical evaluation, procurement, and negotiation through to signature. Founders join your key deals, but the deals are yours to drive.
  • Sell a technical product to technical buyers. Our buyers are heads of engineering, VPs of CX, and AI leads deploying voice agents. You'll run discovery that goes deep on latency, barge-in, evals, and CI/CD for agents, and demo credibly alongside founders.
  • Turn conferences and communities into pipeline. Voice AI has a dense ecosystem (hackathons, meetups, provider communities around Vapi, Retell, LiveKit, Pipecat). You'll work it in person.
  • Write the playbook. Document what works: messaging, objection handling, qualification criteria, sequences. What you build is what the next five GTM hires will run.
  • Feed the product loop. You're the voice of the market inside a 12-person engineering-heavy team. What you hear in discovery calls shapes the roadmap.

Requirements

  • 2+ years in a technical role (software engineering or adjacent) at some point in your career.
  • 2+ years in a commercial, consulting, or GTM-adjacent role.
  • Authorized to work in the US.
  • Strong written and verbal communication.

Preferred

  • MBA or strategy consulting background on top of an engineering foundation.
  • Experience selling dev tools, infrastructure, or AI products.
  • Existing network among CX, contact center, or voice AI buyers.
  • Early-stage startup experience (first or founding GTM hire, or founder).

Benefits

  • Meaningful equity you can believe in. Significant grants, employee-friendly terms, and our intent to create liquidity opportunities as we raise.
  • Strong cash + uncapped upside. Competitive base with commission structure you help design.
  • Founders in the trenches. We sell alongside you. Every deal you source gets founder attention.
  • Compression of a decade into two years. You'll build pipeline, close logos, and shape GTM strategy at a pace no later-stage company can offer.
  • Medical, dental, vision, daily lunches and dinners.
