Head of Sales

Senso.ai (YC W24) · New York, NY / San Francisco, CA / Toronto, ON (Hybrid)

The Mission: Infrastructure for the Agentic Web

The internet was built for humans. AI agents require structure, context, and continuous verification to operate safely at scale.

Senso is the infrastructure for the Agentic Web. We turn fragmented enterprise data locked in outdated Systems of Record into auditable, continuously verified ground-truth context optimized for agents. This enables AI agents to answer, recommend, transact, and support with confidence.

As the market shifts from SEO → GEO → Agentic Commerce, Senso is the context and verification layer that makes AI commerce and post-transaction workflows usable in the real world.

The Opportunity

We are hiring our first Head of Sales to define and scale Senso's go-to-market engine.

This is a founder-level leadership role. You will own sales strategy end-to-end: positioning, ICP definition, partner-led motion, enterprise execution, forecasting, hiring, and culture. You will work directly with the CEO to turn strong inbound, partner demand, and category momentum into a predictable, scalable revenue engine.

This role is ideal for a sales leader who thrives in new markets, understands platform and ecosystem selling, and can sell a category-defining product to sophisticated enterprise buyers.
