You will step into a high-impact founding sales role within a global creative marketplace that connects millions of designers, brands, and creators with high-quality digital assets.

It is a rare opportunity to shape both revenue outcomes and the foundational go-to-market motion of a fast-growing global platform.

- Manage inbound enterprise opportunities in collaboration with SDR contractors while independently driving high-value deal execution.
- Build and execute outbound account strategies, including stakeholder mapping, prospecting plans, and tailored messaging for complex enterprise use cases.
- Navigate multi-stakeholder buying processes involving procurement, legal, finance, design leadership, and technical teams.
- Develop long-term account expansion strategies, increasing revenue through additional licenses, broader usage rights, and enterprise-wide adoption.
- Maintain rigorous pipeline management, CRM accuracy, forecasting discipline, and reporting across key sales metrics.
- Translate customer conversations into structured insights to improve sales strategy, product direction, and commercial execution.
- 4–7+ years of experience in B2B enterprise sales, ideally within SaaS, marketplaces, digital platforms, creative technology, or data/content licensing environments.
- Proven track record of managing full-cycle enterprise deals, including prospecting, negotiation, and closing within complex stakeholder environments.
- Strong experience selling into large organizations such as Fortune 1000 companies or similarly structured enterprises.
- Ability to independently build sales processes, playbooks, and repeatable go-to-market motions in early-stage or evolving teams.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong commercial judgment with the ability to prioritize high-value opportunities and manage long, complex sales cycles.
- High discipline in CRM management, forecasting accuracy, and pipeline tracking.
- Ability to synthesize market feedback into actionable recommendations for product, legal, and leadership teams.
- Competitive annual compensation package including base salary and variable pay (OTE aligned with senior enterprise sales benchmarks).
- Fully remote work model across the United States.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage for employees and dependents.
- Generous paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and seasonal company-wide breaks.
- Retirement savings plan with employer matching contributions.
- Home office, fitness, and professional development stipends to support long-term growth and wellbeing.
