Role Overview
The VP of Sales will own the majors segment and build the team, systems, and strategy to win it. This is a rare opportunity to join a Sequoia-backed AI company at Series B and define how we go to market across the 5–10k employee segment.
What You'll Do
- Organizational Leadership
- Build and scale a third-line majors sales organization, including frontline managers and Enterprise AE teams covering the 5–10k employee segment
- Create a performance culture defined by accountability, coaching rigor, and career development
- Sector and Territory Strategy
- Own majors segment strategy end-to-end: ICP definition, territory design, named-account planning, and coverage modeling
- Define and evolve the majors go-to-market motion across outbound, partner, and executive-sponsored channels
- Partner with GTM leadership on pricing, packaging, and deal economics for large enterprise accounts
- Translate market intelligence into strategic adjustments to territory, headcount, and resource allocation
- Revenue Ownership
- Hold full accountability for majors ARR, quota attainment, pipeline coverage, and forecast accuracy
- Establish and maintain forecasting discipline and pipeline inspection cadences across the organization
- Drive deal progression and win rates in complex sales cycles — coaching teams to multi-thread, build consensus across stakeholders, and close with conviction
- Sales Excellence
- Develop and continuously refine the majors sales playbook: enterprise outbound strategy, discovery frameworks, proof-of-value motions, and executive- and champion-led close strategies
- Implement MEDDPICC and other process rigor across the team
- Serve as an executive sponsor in strategic majors accounts and model best-in-class enterprise selling behavior
- Cross-Functional Partnership
- Collaborate with product, marketing, and engineering to influence roadmap priorities, security and compliance positioning, and majors-segment messaging
- Partner with Revenue Operations on tooling, reporting, and enablement infrastructure
- Represent the majors segment at the leadership level — advocating for resources, headcount, and strategic investment
What You'll Need
- 10+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, with at least 3–5 years in second- or third-line sales leadership
- Proven track record of building and scaling enterprise or majors sales organizations at high-growth companies (Series B and beyond)
- Deep expertise in named-account strategy, territory design, and coverage modeling at scale
- Consistent overachievement across both individual contributor and leadership roles — President's Club, top performer recognition, or accelerated career progression
- Experience selling into IT, Security, and Engineering organizations at the 5–10k employee tier
- Strong command of complex enterprise sales cycles (3–6 months) with VP- to C-level buyers and multiple stakeholders
- Exceptional executive presence and communication skills — credible with C-suite customers, cross-functional partners, and the board
- A builder's mindset: you thrive in ambiguity, create structure where none exists, and raise the bar for everyone around you
Nice to Have
- Experience as an early or founding sales leader who scaled an enterprise function from zero
- Management experience at companies known for enterprise sales excellence
- Track record of developing managers and building internal career paths within your org
- Deep familiarity with MEDDPICC, Challenger, Command of the Message, and modern sales tech (Salesforce, Outreach, Gong, etc.)
- Comfort leading technical sales motions including proof-of-concepts, security reviews, and API or automation platform discussions
