## About the role

You will be a founding leader of the Gitar.ai go-to-market team, responsible for building and running the sales function while personally carrying a quota-bearing book of business. You'll report directly to the CRO, own the team's number, and lead from the front — closing your own strategic deals with CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and Heads of Platform Engineering, while building and coaching the AEs around you.

## What they're looking for

- Have 7+ years of full-cycle, quota-carrying SaaS sales experience, including 3+ years in a sales leadership role managing individual contributors and owning a team number
- Demonstrate a proven track record as an individual contributor consistently exceeding quota in a technical B2B sales role, ideally selling to IT, DevOps, platform engineering, or security buyers
- Have direct experience operating as a genuine player-coach — closing their own deals while simultaneously leading and developing a team
- Have experience building sales processes, playbooks, or a team from the ground up in a startup or early-stage GTM environment
- Be comfortable operating with direct executive exposure, including regular forecast and strategy conversations with a CRO or equivalent
- Have high levels of customer empathy and a passion for customer success
