RemoteRemoteBusiness DevelopmentFull-time
Work Environment
100% remote, must be based in the Eastern or Central US, ideally in or near a venue-dense market (Nashville, NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, Austin, Minneapolis are examples)
Quarterly in-person collaboration
Frequent domestic travel for customer meetings, partner events, and conferences
Responsibilities
- Own a book of target accounts (independent venues, promoters, PACs, attractions, and related live event organizations) and build your own top-of-funnel through outbound, network, and referrals
- Ran full-cycle deals: sourcing, discovery, demos, proposals, negotiation, and close
- Identify and close expansion opportunities within existing accounts in partnership with Customer Success
- Keep CRM accurate and current
- Forecast your pipeline accurately and surface risk early
- Share structured feedback on messaging, objections, pricing, and product gaps
- Help refine the pitch, playbook, and territory strategy as we learn and grow
Requirements
- You operate like an owner. You don't wait for leads, scripts, or permission. You build a plan, work it, measure it, and adjust
- You've thrived in ambiguity: shifting ICP, evolving product, no SDR support
- You can show us, with numbers, what percentage of your pipeline you self-sourced. We're going to ask.
- You genuinely care about live events and the people in it
- Experience we expect:
- 3+ years in B2B SaaS sales, ideally live event adjacent SaaS into a fragmented SMB or mid-market segment OR equivalent experience in a venue, promoter, agency, or live event role where you built and managed relationships with operators, talent buyers, and owners
- Consistent quota attainment if from a sales background, or a track record of building meaningful industry relationships if from the venue side
- Multi-stakeholder experience: GMs, owners, talent buyers, marketing, finance
- Fluent (or quick to become fluent) in AI and modern sales tooling: Claude Cowork, HubSpot, Apollo, etc.
- Strong written and verbal communication
- What disqualifies a candidate:
- A career built inside large, mature SaaS orgs with SDRs, SEs, and a fully built playbook
- Reps whose pipeline came primarily from marketing or inbound
- "Strategy" or "leadership" candidates who want to coach more than they want to get out and sell
What You'll Get
- A remote-first environment where your work directly moves the business
- Real ownership: your pipeline, your territory, your influence on how we sell
- Competitive base salary plus commission, team bonuses, and equity
- Health, vision, dental, unlimited PTO, 401(k) match
- Travel for customer engagements, partner events, and team off-sites
