Old problem, new $25B+ market — Companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have shown that if a technology isn't core to your value proposition, you should offload it. We see a world where developers never roll their own authorization again, and instead say, Just use Oso. We are creating the $25B+ authorization market.

Why Oso? We have the lead—in traction, capital, and team—backed by top investors and built by leaders with deep domain experience in developer go-to-market roles.

Why now? We’re at an inflection point inviting you to join at a role that’s bigger and different than usual.

What you’ll do

• Be the founding sales leader at Oso and define how we go to market. You’ll work directly with our Founder/CEO and Fractional CRO.
• Build and lead a high-performing enterprise sales team, including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and career development.
• Own frontline management: set quotas, manage pipeline, review deals, and drive consistent overachievement.
• Lead by example — prospect, run discovery, build champions, run POCs, negotiate, and close enterprise deals.
• Develop and execute outbound strategy, refining pitch and positioning in collaboration with leadership, product, and marketing.
• Experiment with outbound techniques (calling, email, social) and scale what works.
• Identify and implement tools, processes, and playbooks to accelerate growth.
• Help shape Oso’s sales culture, setting ambitious goals and inspiring the team to deliver.

Who You Are

• Hands-on leader. You inspire by doing: closing deals, refining messaging, and coaching reps daily.
• Talent builder. You know how to hire, develop, and retain exceptional enterprise sellers.
• Strategic executor. You can both design the playbook and run it yourself.
• Owner. You measure yourself on outcomes, not activity, and think like a company-builder.
• Resilient. You embrace challenges and thrive in the ambiguity of startup growth.
• Growth-minded. You self-reflect, seek feedback, and help others grow with you.
• Customer-obsessed. You want to understand our users’ world and solve their problems above all else.

Requirements

• 7+ years of enterprise B2B SaaS sales experience.
• 3+ years in frontline management.
• Consistent track record of exceeding quota.
• Proven success hiring, developing, and leading top-performing enterprise sellers.
• Experience scaling sales at a pre-Series C startup.
