What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a Co-Founder & Chief Sales Officer / Head of Sales—a growth-focused, revenue-oriented leader who can architect and scale our entire sales engine, with a founder’s mindset. Someone who understands the nuances of B2B, enterprise, and platform sales—especially in the executive leadership space.

This is not a traditional sales job—it’s a co-founder opportunity for someone ready to own, grow, and scale the commercial side of a category-defining product.

️ Sales Infrastructure : Build systems and processes for CRM, sales funnels, outreach, and analytics

Sales Team Leadership : Recruit, train, and mentor a high-performing sales team aligned to founder-led principles

Experiment & Iterate : Continuously test new sales channels, pricing models, and engagement strategies

Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work closely with Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to align growth initiatives

Who You Are

✅ 10–20 years of experience in B2B, SaaS, executive search, HRTech, or platform sales

✅ Deep understanding of enterprise buying behavior and stakeholder management

✅ Proven record of exceeding sales targets and scaling revenue from 0 to 10Cr+

✅ Prior startup or entrepreneurial experience preferred

✅ Comfortable with building strategy and doing hands-on execution

✅ Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills

✅ Open to equity-first compensation with minor monthly payout for essentials
