About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You'll own the full sales motion — inbound, outbound, partnerships, and B2B — and you'll partner closely with Kelly, our founder, on go-to-market strategy across our services and software products.
This role is a blend of player and coach. You'll personally take prospect calls and close business, while also setting the strategy, building the systems, and managing our existing sales strategist.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Has built a sales function from the ground up — process, systems, and team — at a company where the founder used to do it all
Sells with warmth and integrity, and knows how to convert relationships into pipeline without it ever feeling transactional
Has run partnerships and affiliate programs as a primary growth channel
Has personally closed business AND managed a quota-carrying rep, and can comfortably switch between the two on the same day
Loves the metrics side — pipeline math, conversion rates, close rates, cohort behavior — and uses data to coach, not just to report
Is comfortable in early-stage ambiguity: building, breaking, and rebuilding the system as we grow
Is a strong writer (we sell through warm, thoughtful written communication) and a strong listener on calls
Cares about the modern family and the work Sage Haus is doing in the home
You don't need to have been a Director or VP before. If you've been a top-performing AE or sales lead at an early-stage business and you're ready to step into a founding sales leadership role, we want to hear from you.
