Director, Central (Austin)

Job description

## About Us At [Rox](https://rox.com/), we believe in empowering people to do their best work. Our platform supercharges sellers with autonomous revenue agents to do the manual work so they can focus on what they do best: selling. Just as coding agents 10x’d engineering, revenue agents 10x customer work. We are reimagining the revenue stack by building the world’s first revenue operating system, from the application layer to the system of context. With Rox, humans are evolving to orchestrators while agents manage the end-to-end customer lifecycle. Rox powers Global 2000 leaders in banking, hardware, construction, and sovereign AI, while serving dominant AI winners like Ramp and Cognition. Underlying all of this success is an unwavering, shared belief in the mission, with an unreasonable commitment of doing whatever it takes to make it a reality. ## The Team Nothing is possible without the world-class team, assembled to redefine how businesses operate. Members on our team have: - Founded and exited successful companies - Held the highest positions at Google, AWS, Confluent, and New Relic - Won IMO and IOI gold medals - Published field-defining papers We’re backed by the best, including Sequoia, General Catalyst, Google Ventures, Elad Gil, and Chris Ré. ## Core Principles ### Taste: Craft beautiful experiences. No matter how small, we strive to make sure every detail is right. We care deeply about every interaction, both in terms of whether it helps the seller get the job done, but also how the product makes them feel. We get a visceral feeling when something is off and stop at nothing to make sure we make it right. We never settle, continuously exploring ways to delight sellers. ### Obsession: Commit unreasonably. In all aspects of our craft, we commit. We not only are immediately reactive to customers’ requests but are proactive about driving value even before they ask. We are also obsessive about always learning and honing our craft, improving ourselves and product every single day. ### Action: Get it done. Talking is easy but the difference comes from the execution. We lean heavily towards making thoughtful yet fast decisions and delivering immediately. We play in a field where trust is paramount. We earn the trust and right to empower the best sellers by forging a history of over-delivering on the promise at record speed. ## Your Role As Director, Central (Austin) at Rox, you own the Central theater for strategic and enterprise sales, based in Austin.
