You understand discovery, objections, buying motivations, and how deals progress. - A record of personally delivering improvements in conversion, deal value, sales productivity, or revenue growth. - Hands-on experience configuring a CRM, building workflows, and using data to diagnose business problems. - Practical experience building AI tools or automations that other people actually use. You can show us what you built and explain your contribution. - Strong analytical skills, including comfort with spreadsheets, funnel analysis, dashboards, and experiment measurement. - The ability to move from an ambiguous problem to a working solution with limited direction. - Clear communication and the ability to earn trust with salespeople, technical partners, and senior leaders. ### **Particularly relevant experience** - Consultative B2C sales, education, marketplaces, or high-consideration services. - Pricing, packaging, competitive research, or launching new offers. - HubSpot or a comparable CRM; automation platforms such as n8n, Make, or Zapier; and AI-assisted development tools. - SQL, APIs, or scripting skills that help you independently build and troubleshoot solutions. - **Bonus:** Prior experience as an Account Executive, sales consultant, founder, or early commercial hire. ## **What success looks like** **In your first 30 days:** Develop a clear understanding of our sales process, customer conversations, funnel performance, and systems.
