YOU'LL HAVE * A track record of closing new logos at VC-backed startups: You've carried a quota and won net-new business in a high-growth, early-stage environment, where you generated your own pipeline and closed without the air cover of an established brand or a finished playbook. * Exceptional drive and resilience: You are exceptionally results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a strong self-starter mentality. * An entrepreneurial builder's mindset: You excel in ambiguity. You see a blank slate as an opportunity, and you have a knack for creative prospecting and pipeline generation. * Proven relationship-building skills: A natural ability to build rapport and establish trust with individuals at all levels, up to and including senior executives. * Top-class communication skills: Outstanding written and verbal communication, capable of articulating complex ideas clearly and persuasively. * A strategic mindset: You think strategically about market opportunities and develop effective approaches to engage potential partners. * A mission-driven ethos: You're motivated by more than commission: you want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on society.
