## About the role

We are looking for a Los Angeles-based Sales Manager to build and lead our founding Account Executive team. This is a role for someone who thrives on building from scratch: hiring the right people, establishing a strong sales culture, and raising the bar on execution from the ground up. This is not a role where you inherit a playbook. You'll help write it.

## What they're looking for

- Proven experience managing a team of Enterprise B2B SaaS AEs (3+ years in a management role)
- Track record of building or significantly scaling a sales team, ideally from a founding or greenfield position
- Consistent record of meeting or exceeding team quota
- Strong coaching skills: able to diagnose skill gaps and deliver practical, actionable feedback
- Experience with structured hiring processes and a demonstrable track record of making strong hires
- Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot preferred) and pipeline management
