About the Role

This is a revenue ownership role at a seed-stage AI platform built for the hospitality industry. The sales motion is proven and working; your mandate is to scale it dramatically, reporting directly to the CEO from the company's San Francisco office.

What You'll Do

• Own quarterly and annual revenue targets, manage the forecast, and present results to the board.

• Codify best practices into onboarding materials, playbooks, call frameworks, and demo standards to cut rep ramp time.

• Recruit, onboard, and manage a growing team of AEs and SDRs; set quotas, territories, and compensation plans.

• Run pipeline reviews, deal inspections, weekly forecasts, and quarterly business reviews.

• Identify and close conversion leaks by analyzing win rates and stage progression across the pipeline.

• Close enterprise deals and escalations alongside your team, staying active in the field.

• Evaluate channel partnerships and determine when to build dedicated enterprise segments.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years in B2B SaaS sales, including 3+ years leading a quota-carrying sales team.

• Proven track record scaling a sales org from roughly 5 reps to 20+, or growing ARR from low single digits to eight figures.

• Strong independent closing skills; able to own the most complex deal in the pipeline personally.

• Rigorous forecasting discipline with accurate deal-level prediction and inspection habits.

• Experience building sales playbooks, call frameworks, and demo processes that demonstrably reduced ramp time.

• Track record of hiring and retaining high-performing AEs and SDRs with documented ramp metrics.

• Experience setting quotas, territories, and compensation plans for growing sales teams.

• Background selling emerging technology categories where buyer education is part of the sales motion.

• Vertical SaaS experience, ideally in hospitality tech or proptech.

• Experience partnering cross-functionally with marketing and product on positioning and roadmap alignment.

• Familiarity with AI or automation solutions sold into enterprise customers is a strong plus.
