About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take ownership of new business by handling inbound sales conversations and converting them into closed deals. Build outbound, partnership and referral channels from the ground up and create repeatable growth systems that the company can scale. Work directly alongside the founder while building lightweight internal tools that remove operational bottlenecks.

• Learn the founder's existing sales, onboarding and customer follow-up processes.

• Form partnerships and referral relationships that bring in new business.
• Represent the company at industry conferences and build customer and partner relationships in person.
• Write small internal tools and automations that speed up sales and operations work.
• Take on wider growth and operating duties as the business expands.

What we're looking for

• 1 to 3 years of experience.
• Either a history of closing sales or a demonstrated record in a demanding professional services or operations background.
• Extremely high agency, resourcefulness and persuasive communication.
• A company-building mindset rather than a purely commission-focused approach to sales.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to work without a predefined playbook.
• Ability to build lightweight tools and automate workflows with code.
• Strong interpersonal skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work on-site in San Francisco and to travel frequently.
