What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manager of Sales position at California Coast University?
Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country’s 500,000 commercial fleets, 40 million commercial vehicles, and many million commercial drivers. The incumbent technologies that cater to these customers are decades old, and drivers and fleets increasingly demand modern digital experiences and affordable and transparent financial services products. Coast's mission is to deliver them at a transformational scale, beginning with the Coast Fleet and Fuel Card built on a cutting-edge spend management platform.
As Coast’s first Sales Manager in our Utah office, you will take on one of the most critical leadership roles in our go-to-market organization. You’ll be entrusted with building, coaching, and scaling a high-performing Account Executive team, while professionalizing the way we sell to one of our most important customer segments. Beyond this, we have an exciting business problem - the SMB accounts which used to be our smallest are quickly becoming extremely profitable to Coast through both top of funnel and upsell motions distributing our Corporate Card product. We want you at the center of this.
This isn’t just a management role—it’s a chance to shape the foundation of our Utah sales culture, directly impact revenue growth, and partner closely with senior leadership to expand Coast’s market presence.

Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our size and industry, and are one part of our total compensation package that also includes benefits, signing bonus, and equity.

We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at Coast to fall healthily within the range based on these factors.

We're also backed by top fintech and mobility venture funds – including Accel, Insight Partners, Better Tomorrow Ventures, Avid Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, BoxGroup, Foundation Capital, Greycroft, Colle – and premier angel investors – including Max Levchin (Affirm), Josh Abramowitz (Bread), Jason Gardner (Marqeta), William Hockey (Plaid), Ryan Petersen (Flexport), and many others.
