About the role

We're looking for a hands-on sales leader to help build and scale Dust's US business. You'll lead and develop a team of Account Executives, own regional revenue performance, and help shape how we bring Dust to market in the US. This is a role for someone who loves both building and selling. You'll be as comfortable coaching reps and developing a sales strategy as you are jumping into a complex deal, meeting with customers, or finding creative ways to generate pipeline. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • A proven sales professional who has grown from individual contributor into people leadership, with 5+ years leading B2B software sales and coaching regional sales teams and a hands-on understanding of how to help reps succeed in-market
  • A strong track record of owning and delivering against ambitious revenue targets, with direct accountability for pipeline creation, forecasting, and sales execution
  • Experience building or scaling a sales motion, whether launching a new market, developing a new segment, or helping an early-stage company establish repeatable growth
  • A hands-on leadership style. You're comfortable coaching reps, joining customer calls, and getting directly involved in opportunities when needed
  • Deep experience navigating complex, consultative sales cycles with multiple stakeholders, ideally selling technical or emerging technology solutions
  • Strong commercial judgment and an analytical approach to identifying opportunities, prioritizing resources, and improving sales performance
