ABOUT SIMPLE Simple AI http://usesimple.ai is building state of the art voice AI agents for enterprise. Our realistic agents help iconic businesses like Doordash, xAI, and Omaha Steaks handle all kinds of phone operations, from customer support to order intake to lead qualifications. We’re growing revenue like crazy and looking for an Head of Sales to help accelerate our sales motion and close high-impact deals. Simple AI raised $14M from world-class investors and operators like Y Combinator, First Harmonic, Massive Tech Ventures, Michael Seibel, Jared Friedman, Alexandr Wang, Matt Van Horn, Suhail Doshi, and Scott Wu. THE TEAM The founders (Catheryn https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherynli/ and Zach https://www.linkedin.com/in/zach-kamran/) met while running software teams at YC, where they shipped tons of new products for YC founders, including YC’s co-founder matching site.

We have grown into a strong team of 8 and are continuing to scale quickly ABOUT THE ROLE We are hiring our first Head of Sales to partner directly with our CEO and lead Simple's next phase of enterprise growth. You will own the revenue number, personally lead our most important deals, and turn our early sales motion into a repeatable engine. This is a hands-on player-coach role—not a position for someone who wants to manage from the sidelines. You will prospect, run discovery, shape business cases, navigate complex buying committees, negotiate, and close while hiring and coaching the sales team around you. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, and our customer-facing technical teams to sell a deeply technical product through measurable business outcomes.

NICE TO HAVE - Experience selling AI, automation, developer tools, or another technical enterprise product. - Experience selling to contact center, customer experience, operations, or revenue leaders. - Experience partnering closely with founders, engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, or Solutions Engineers on complex deals.
