Calling All Rainbow Unicorn Startup Sales Ninjas
Is your copy of Four Steps to the Epiphany well-shorn and filled with marginalia? Do you care more about solving problems than selling products? Do you thrive in fast-paced, chaotic environments?
If the answer to all three of those questions is yes, and you have a history of high performance, then we want to meet you ASAP.
We are GrowthX, a trust-network of innovators and investors. We are a Seed-stage fund helping our companies market their product and make money.
With our Traction Acceleration Program, we complement product founders with a laser-focus on the right-side of the Lean Canvas. We need help keeping up with overwhelming demand from our portfolio. That’s where you come in.
We are looking for a confident and energetic, professional and team-oriented individual to join our rapidly growing team.
You’re the right fit for GrowthX if you:
- Embrace ambiguity;
- Optimize for people;
- Define success as the success of those you help;
- Desire building things from scratch;
- Orient heavily towards getting shit done;
- Love hugging elephants;
- Have a strong desire to learn and grow and to help colleagues and founders do the same; and
- Adapt and pick-up difficult concepts quickly.
What you’ve done:
- Two or more years at an early-stage company (preferably in sales, business development or growth/marketing roles, but not required).
- Time on the front line of revenue development (via phone and email).
- Habitually logged activity into sales, marketing and/or customer success tools.
- Researched accounts to understand needs, enable effective follow up, and generate interest.
- Acquired B2B data and helped manage campaigns.
- Demonstrated the ability to excel in multiple disciplines.
Is this a sales development role or account executive role?
The answer is a resounding yes.
Why?
Because in startups, you wear many hats and do whatever is required to get the job done.
You will be working alongside startup founders engineering and helping them execute a market development program.
Here’s your typical day:
- Evaluating and optimizing sales, marketing and customer success tools in use and, as needed, identifying and implementing replacement or supplemental solutions, and creating related documentation.
- Creating comprehensive account lists and organizing them into CRM systems.
- Researching and developing market-relevant sources to acquire high-quality suspects and prospects.
- Developing a comprehensive understanding of what tools, tactics and messaging have been employed by a company to generate interest and acquire early customers.
- Implementing systems, rules, dashboards and tools, and supporting colleagues with the management, execution, iteration and optimization of sales and marketing campaigns, to test and validate pricing hypotheses, generate leads and acquire customers.
- Working with sales, marketing, and customer success functions to create metrics, dashboards, documentation and training to enable early-stage companies to execute at scale.
- Learning and growing by working with market development experts.
- Building relationships and effectively communicating with colleagues and founders.
In return, you’ll be learning from the best, having an absolute blast, maybe landing a full-time role on a rocket ship that you helped fuel, all the while earning a healthy salary.
