Role
Who you are
- We're looking for someone who's already built early-stage sales teams at high-growth SaaS companies and is energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it. You're a builder at heart
- You love translating a big vision into compelling customer stories
- You're equally excited to roll up your sleeves on deals and to coach others to win
- You're scrappy, resourceful, and thrive when the playbook is constantly evolving
- You've led software sales teams for 5+ years, with at least 2+ years leading Enterprise-focused teams
- You've built and scaled early-stage sales teams at high-growth SaaS companies, you know what it takes to go from 0 to 1
- You have a track record of closing complex enterprise deals yourself and coaching reps through them
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and experimentation, you don't need a proven playbook to be effective
- You're curious and technically fluent enough to learn AI, data platforms, or ML-driven products and explain them in business terms
- You're a strong cross-functional collaborator who works hand-in-hand with Product and Marketing
- You're passionate about people leadership, motivating, mentoring, and recruiting top talent
- You love category creation and get energized by building something genuinely new
What the job involves
- We're building a new AI products business at Hightouch, and we need someone to own the entire go-to-market motion from the ground up
- As VP of Sales for AI products, you'll hire and lead a team of Account Executives, close early deals yourself, and figure out how to sell something genuinely new
- You'll work directly with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Success to test messaging, learn from customers, and build the playbook as you go
- This isn't about stepping into an existing machine; it's about building the machine
- You'll be refining positioning with every deal, coaching your team through uncharted territory, and proving product-market fit in real time
- You'll also shape how businesses think about adopting AI decisioning, which means you're creating a category, not just executing in one that already exists
- Building and leading a foundational sales team for AI products, hiring, coaching, and developing Account Executives from scratch
- Closing early enterprise deals yourself to prove the motion works and establish best practices
- Refining the sales playbook in real time—testing messaging, learning from losses, and iterating on what resonates
- Partnering closely with Product and Engineering to shape what we build based on what you're hearing in the market
- Working with Marketing to develop positioning, content, and campaigns that drive the pipeline
- Experimenting with and adapting sales methodologies (MEDDPICC, Command of the Message) rather than rigidly following a process
- Translating technical AI concepts into clear business value for executive buyers
- Recruiting top sales talent constantly, building your bench before you have headcount
- Providing strategic input to leadership on GTM strategy, pricing, packaging, and product direction
