- Own the full sales cycle, from discovery through pilot design to close
- Run structured pilots that prove clear, hard-dollar ROI within weeks
- Multi-thread complex accounts deeply across claims, ops, procurement, and IT
- Help define where we focus next, shaping the ICP and wedge that gets us to $100M+ ARR
- Turn early wins into a repeatable motion future reps can scale
- Feed the roadmap: bring market signal directly into product and engineering
Requirements
- You High ownership, high agency. You don't wait for perfect inputs; you create momentum with what you have
- You have proven closer with experience selling $50K–$500K ACV SaaS
- You have 4+ years in closing roles, ideally with time in early-stage or high-growth environments
- You are comfortable operating without structure and building clarity as you go
- You have based in NYC (SoHo) and are willing to work in-office 5 days/week

Pay
OTE: $150K–$300K (50/50 base and variable) plus equity
Schedule
Non-recoverable draw for your first 60–90 days: full OTE-equivalent pay with no quota, so ramping never means a pay cut
Year-one variable is tied to leading indicators (qualified meetings, pilots launched, multi-threading depth). A full quota structure kicks in after month 12
