## About the role

This isn't a standard sales role and it isn't a standard growth role. It's a mix of both. You're the quarterback for growth here. Some deals you close yourself. Some you get other people in a position to close. Either way you're the one organizing it and leading it.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years owning a number. Sales, partnerships, business development, or an ops or finance background with real sales experience
- Able to drive regularly
- You've closed deals yourself, without a big brand name doing the work for you
- You build systems
- Willing to build your own tools. You don't need to code, but you should be the type to put something together with AI tools instead of waiting on engineering
- Good with small business owners. This isn't enterprise software. The person across from you is busy and has a lot going on
