About the job
ContentFly (YC W21) is building the universal API for content creation - our vision is to allow anybody on Earth to get high quality content for their business in a few clicks. We haven't done any sales to-date - yet, we've grown over 700% in the past 10 months profitably, and just raised a round of financing from some of the world's top investors.
As the Head of Sales at ContentFly your role will be to build ContentFly's sales function and playbook. In the early days you'll focus on acquiring agency customers in parallel with building a team of high-calibre Account Executives and Business Development Representatives to assist you in your efforts.
We're looking for a unique individual that is capable of handling the entire sales process from the first touch point to the final close. The right candidate will see this as an exciting opportunity to help build a sales organization from the ground up - which includes a lot of boots on the ground selling in the early days.
