About the Job

As an Inside Sales Representative at Squint, you'll own the full sales cycle for a defined segment of our industrial customer base — from first outreach to closed‑won. You'll work primarily by phone, email, and video to build pipeline, run discovery, deliver demos, and guide manufacturers through the buying process. This is a quota‑carrying role for someone who wants to sell a category‑defining Industrial AI product end to end, not just book meetings.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full‑cycle sales for your segment: prospect, qualify, demo, negotiate, and close.
• Generate your own pipeline through outbound calls, emails, and social outreach, alongside inbound and marketing‑sourced leads.
• Run discovery calls to understand manufacturing pain points — downtime, quality, training, knowledge loss — and map them to Squint's platform.
• Deliver compelling remote product demos tailored to each prospect's operations.
• Manage a high volume of active opportunities and keep CRM data clean and current.
• Consistently meet or exceed monthly and quarterly quota.

Qualifications

• A recent degree or early‑career experience (0–2 years) — your major matters far less than your judgment and drive.
• Track record of high achievement.
• Strong communication skills; comfortable running the entire cycle solo.
• Curiosity about how things are made — you can get manufacturers excited about AI on the factory floor.
• Highly organized, self‑directed, and comfortable in a fast‑moving startup.
• AI‑native and comfortable using modern technology to learn, solve problems, and work efficiently.
• Interest in manufacturing, operations, and the potential of AI to transform industrial work.

Benefits

• Based out of our office in San Francisco, we love the energy of in‑person collaboration.
• Competitive Salary and Equity.
• Comprehensive Medical, Vision, and Dental care.
• Flexible PTO Policy.
• Lunch and Dinner Service.
• Subsidized Uber to and from the office.
• Wellness Benefit.
• Maven Family Planning Benefits.
• Partnership with Care.com.
• Mental Health Services.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan.
• Pre‑Tax Commuter Benefit for Parking & Public Transit.
• Company‑wide Retreats.
