The Role

We're looking for a Sales & Growth Lead to build and own Spine's customer acquisition engine.

You'll be responsible for generating pipeline, running the sales process, closing customers, and identifying the acquisition channels that can scale revenue.

• Build and manage a strong pipeline through targeted outbound, referrals, partnerships, and other growth channels.
• Own CRM discipline and track pipeline, conversion, sales velocity, and closed revenue to continuously improve performance.
• Work directly with the founders to refine positioning, pricing, sales collateral, and a repeatable go-to-market playbook.

What We're Looking For

• 2–5 years of experience in B2B sales, business development, growth, or an early-stage go-to-market role.
• Comfortable with outbound prospecting, including cold email, calls, LinkedIn, and direct outreach.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving early-stage environment with limited structure.
• Experience selling to startups, SMBs, HR/People teams, or finance leaders is a strong plus.
• Experience in benefits, HR tech, payroll, insurance, fintech, or adjacent industries is a plus.
