Sales & Marketing Lead

Responsibilities

• Direct outreach. Build and run outbound motions that start real conversations with the right buyers, not vanity activity.
• Listening sessions. Run structured customer calls to surface real pain points, language, and buying signals we can act on.
• Lead generation systems. Turn what works into repeatable pipelines across channels, with clear process and measurable output.
• Paid pilot customers. Find, qualify, and close early partners into paid pilots that validate product-market fit in our core segments.

Requirements

• You've sold technical products before. Ideally infrastructure, dev tools, platform — something where the buyer reads the docs.
• You can write. Not "marketing copy" — actual prose that a smart person would read voluntarily. Most of our pipeline starts with the written word.
• Founder-shaped. You'd rather build the system than run someone else's. Comfortable doing the messy first version yourself before handing it to anyone.
• Honest seller. You don't oversell, you don't manipulate, and you walk away from bad fits. We'd rather lose a deal than win a wrong one.
• Async-first, written-first. Same operating model as the rest of the team.

Qualifications

• Pre-funding. Likely equity-heavy with a modest base to start, scaling with revenue and the next raise.
• Value-for-value: the upside should match what you actually create.

Benefits

• Email hello@fromtheforest.io. Tell us about a product you've taken to market, what worked and what didn't, and what you'd do in your first ninety days here. A human reads every email.
• If what you sent resonates, we'll talk. If not - we will let you know!
