You will report directly to the VP of Sales and work in close partnership with Deployed Engineering, post‑sales, and executive leadership. This is not a role for someone who manages from a dashboard. The right person is in the field, knows every major deal, and has a point of view on how to win.

You will know every deal. A role with an established, fully staffed team. You will hire some of your AEs. A role where the product sells itself. Devin is a paradigm shift – you will need to sell the vision before the prospect fully understands the category. A slow‑moving environment. We move fast, change direction when we learn something, and expect the same from leadership. Equal Opportunity Cognition is an equal opportunity employer.
