We are a Series A SaaS company and provide the system of record for event marketing.

• Stay up to date with industry trends and competitor activity to inform outreach strategy.

Qualifications:

• 1–2 years of proven success in in-person sales, including experience building client relationships, meeting or exceeding sales targets, and effectively communicating the value of products or services in a face-to-face environment.
  

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; confident speaking with senior stakeholders in person.
  

• Energetic, outgoing personality with the ability to start conversations and build rapport quickly.
  

• Highly organized and comfortable working in fast-paced environments.
  

• Willingness to travel regularly for events and conferences (up to 70% of the time).
  

• Experience using CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) to manage leads and track performance.
  

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary + performance-based bonus structure
  

• Opportunities for career advancement and professional development

• Collaborative and energetic team culture
  

• Excellent benefits: health insurance, 401(k), etc, unlimited PTO and company recharges and retreats
