About the Role

The Company is seeking a VP of Sales to be the founding leader of its sales function. This role is pivotal in the company's mission to redefine the future of social commerce, where community, conversation, and commerce converge. The successful candidate will be responsible for building the sales organization from the ground up, defining the sales strategy, and personally engaging in the sales process with mid-market and enterprise brands. This is a hands-on role that requires a leader who is comfortable with both closing deals and designing sales processes, and who can set the tone, process, and standards for the sales team. The VP of Sales will work closely with the CEO and leadership team to translate early customer traction into a scalable revenue engine, and will be instrumental in recruiting, hiring, and developing the sales team as the company grows. Applicants for the VP of Sales position at the company should have a minimum of 7 years' experience in B2B SaaS sales, with a proven track record of success, and at least 2 years in a sales leadership role. Experience in selling to marketing, brand, or e-commerce organizations is essential, and familiarity with martech, social, or CRM tooling is a strong plus. The ideal candidate will have direct experience as an early or founding sales hire at a Series A or Series B startup, and a strong command of sales fundamentals. Excellent communication, executive presence, and the ability to influence at all levels are also key requirements. The role is suited to a candidate who is adept at operating in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment, and who is based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area.
