About the job Vice President of Sales

Vice President of Sales
Location: Onsite – Brooklyn, NY or Playa Vista, CA
Compensation: $180,000 – $220,000 base salary + performance incentives
Employment Type: Full-Time
Visa Sponsorship: Not available
HireNow Staffing is partnering with a venture-backed software development startup to recruit a Vice President of Sales to lead revenue growth and scale the company's go-to-market organization. This is a hands-on, builder-style leadership role for an executive who can both sell and scale—someone who is equally comfortable closing complex enterprise deals and building the systems, people, and discipline required for long-term growth.
The company is operating with $15M+ in ARR in a fast-growing enterprise AI category and is entering its next phase of expansion. This role is critical to that trajectory.
The Opportunity
This is not a maintenance role. The Vice President of Sales will be responsible for shaping how the organization sells, how teams are built, and how revenue becomes predictable at scale. You will join a proven business with strong product-market traction and help guide it toward its next major growth milestone.
You will be expected to lead from the front—owning strategy, recruiting and developing talent, and personally closing high-impact enterprise deals.
What You'll Do
Candidates must demonstrate the ability to perform the following responsibilities to be considered for interview:
  • Own and grow revenue across the entire sales organization
  • Recruit, hire, coach, and retain a high-performing team of Account Executives
  • Build a culture of accountability, execution, and continuous improvement
  • Personally lead and close strategic enterprise deals, including marquee accounts
  • Establish sales rigor and discipline, including:
    • Forecasting accuracy
    • Pipeline management
    • Operating cadence and reporting
  • Partner closely with Customer Success, Product, and Marketing to align execution across the full customer lifecycle
  • Represent the company externally with customers, partners, and at industry events
  • Position the platform as a category-defining enterprise AI solution
Required Qualifications (Must-Haves)
Candidates must meet all of the following to be considered:
  • 2–20 years of sales leadership experience, including managing 5–10+ sellers
  • Experience leading teams focused on non-SMB, enterprise-level deals
  • Proven track record closing high six- and seven-figure enterprise contracts
  • Experience building and scaling sales teams in SaaS or software environments
  • At least one demonstrated long tenure (4+ years), ideally in a recent role
  • Hands-on leadership style with the ability to sell while scaling the organization
  • Willingness to work onsite in Brooklyn, NY or Playa Vista, CA
Preferred Qualifications (Strongly Emphasized)
Candidates meeting these criteria will receive priority consideration.
  • Experience joining a SaaS company at $5M–$25M ARR and helping scale toward $100M+ ARR
  • Demonstrated success hiring, coaching, and retaining top-performing AEs
  • Personally closed complex, technical enterprise deals in competitive markets
  • Experience leading sales motions involving long cycles and multiple stakeholders
  • High EQ, low ego leadership style in founder-led or fast-moving environments
  • Builder mentality—focused on creating what's next, not just managing what exists
  • Experience selling highly technical or non-market-leading products
  • Familiarity with HubSpot or similar CRM platforms
Bonus Points
  • Ability to bring one or two proven AEs or Sales Managers who want to build alongside you
  • Background in Customer Success, Account Management, RevOps, or sales systems design
  • Exceptionally competitive, execution-focused leadership style
  • Comfort operating across an international footprint (U.S., U.K., and Canada Exceptionally competitive, execution-focused leadership style)
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Executive ownership over revenue and GTM strategy
  • Opportunity to scale a proven product in a high-growth AI category
  • Direct influence on hiring, culture, and sales architecture
  • Competitive compensation aligned with enterprise impact
  • Well-funded company with experienced operators and strong backing
  • Comprehensive benefits and generous PTO, including company-wide breaks mid-year and year-end
