About the role

We're looking for a Head of Sales to build and lead the sales organization that takes Scanner through its next stage of growth. This is a player-coach role for someone who has scaled enterprise sales teams before and still wants to be directly involved in strategic deals, customers, and closing business.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building a sales organization from scratch, not simply inheriting an established team and playbook
  • Strong track record recruiting, developing, and ramping excellent sellers
  • Strong command of forecasting, pipeline management, territories, quotas, compensation, capacity planning, and CRM discipline
