Sales Management

About Us

Turnkey is developer-first infrastructure for private key management, making it simple to create wallets, sign transactions, and automate on-chain actions through one elegant API, without ever exposing sensitive key material. Founded by the team who scaled Coinbase Custody from zero to a $100M+ ARR business and helped protect over $100B in crypto assets, Turnkey is tackling crypto security at its foundational level. Our mission is to make strong cryptography the default across the open internet the same way AWS made scalable computing the default for software.

Our team is low-ego, high-agency, and high-autonomy, with a significant amount of combined experience in cryptography, security, and low-level systems. We're building the trustless, programmable infrastructure that will power the next wave of mass-market crypto applications and we're looking for people who want to shape what that future looks like.

About The Role

As one of Turnkey’s earliest sales leaders, you’ll own team development, coaching, and performance for a pod of up to 10 sellers. You will help shape the foundation of the sales organization, strengthen the outbound and pipeline motion, and partner cross-functionally with leadership to refine the go-to-market strategy.

• Lead and mentor a team of AEs and BDRs
• Drive consistent attainment across mid-market and enterprise segments.
• Build repeatable, scalable sales processes as Turnkey enters its next growth stage.
• Work closely with leadership to refine segmentation as pipeline matures.
• Ensure pipeline quality, strong forecasting discipline, and predictable execution.
• Partner with marketing and product to strengthen market traction.
• Create clear promotion paths and manage career growth across pods.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and high performance.

About You

This role is ideal for a high-EQ people leader who has already proven themselves as a strong Sales Manager and is ready to step into a Senior Sales Manager/ Director scope.

• 7+ years of sales leadership experience managing AEs (mid-market and/or enterprise) and ideally BDRs.
• Proven track record building and leading high-performing sales teams in fast-growth environments.
• Strong coaching instincts and high EQ; able to elevate underperformers and accelerate top talent.

• Ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Leadership.
• Motivated by autonomy, ownership, and helping build a sales org from the ground up.
• A builder at heart—you enjoy creating scalable systems, not just running existing ones.
• Located in the NYC area and open to hybrid work.
