HELP BUILD SIFT’S US GO-TO-MARKET MOTION

- Provide feedback on messaging, ICP, and sales process

- Support hiring and onboarding as the team grows

MAINTAIN FORECAST ACCURACY

- Maintain disciplined pipeline management and forecasting

- Clearly communicate deal progress, risks, and next steps to leadership

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

- Experience selling a highly technical product to advanced engineering teams

- Exposure to complex enterprise and technical sales cycles

- Opportunity to help shape the go-to-market strategy for a fast-growing deep-tech company

- Close mentorship from experienced enterprise sellers and technical leaders

- Direct exposure to customers building cutting-edge systems across aerospace, defense, robotics, and industrial technology

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO

- Is comfortable engaging deeply with technical stakeholders such as engineers, architects, and technical leaders

- Demonstrates strong curiosity and the ability to quickly learn complex technical concepts

- Has a track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets

- Thrives in early-stage environments where processes are still evolving

- Is highly motivated and willing to invest the effort required to succeed in complex enterprise sales

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
