About the Role


We are looking for a strategic, hands-on Director of Sales to lead our North American revenue expansion, with the long-term scope to expand into Europe and APAC. Your primary mission is to help scale our ARR to $10M over the next 12–18 months.

  • Scale the Team: Manage, mentor, and eventually expand a high-performing sales organization.


What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: 10 years of total sales experience, with 6 years selling directly to enterprise Buyers (Chief Customer Officers, Heads of Professional Services, and Delivery Heads).
  • Leadership Track Record: Proven experience managing and scaling sales teams of 10–15 individuals.
  • Startup & Scale-Up DNA: Demonstrated success navigating the 0-to-1 and 1-to-10 growth phases.
  • Location: Ability to work full-time out of our San Jose office.


Compensation & Perks

  • Base Salary: $200,000 – $225,000
  • OTE: 2x Base ($400,000 – $450,000 On-Target Earnings).
