## About the role

Cardinal is a sales company - this role directly determines how fast we grow. We’re looking for scrappy, high-agency sellers who love the craft.

## What they're looking for

- A former founder
- Someone who scaled a startup early
- A top AE who hates doing things the “normal way”
- Someone who has run outbound themselves
