$100k-$140k

Company Description

Seed-stage AI startup transforming the $3T global electronic component supply chain

Job Description

Work directly with the CEO to build a category-defining company from the ground up. You will own the end-to-end go-to-market motion, from leading discovery calls with global distributors to shaping the product roadmap. This high-impact role blends sales, strategy, and operations within a massive, underserved industrial market ripe for AI disruption.

Location

San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable

• High CEO proximity: Sit in the room for strategic decision-making and influence the company's trajectory alongside the founding team.
• Real-world impact: Solve complex fragmentation in the $3T electronic component market rather than building another generic SaaS dashboard.
• Career acceleration: Transition from executing a playbook to building one, gaining deep exposure to every facet of a venture-backed startup.
  
  

What You Will Do

• Own the outbound sales engine by identifying, contacting, and running demo calls with electronics distributors and manufacturers.
• Design and implement the company's first scalable go-to-market strategy based on direct customer feedback and market analysis.
• Manage the end-to-end sales pipeline while building operational processes to support the team's rapid growth and scale.
  
  

The ideal candidate

• 1–4 years of high-performance experience in sales, business development, management consulting, investment banking, or an early-stage startup.
• Exceptional commercial thinker with the ability to communicate complex technical value propositions to diverse industrial stakeholders.
• Highly autonomous operator who thrives in the ambiguity of a seed-stage environment and possesses a genuine interest in global logistics.
  
  

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

• Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
• Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
• If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.
  
  

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
