Enterprise Sales Leader

At Bland, we're building the most human AI phone agents in the world. We're a Series C startup backed by Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, and the founders of PayPal and Twilio, and we've raised $100M to reimagine the future of customer communication. Today, we're a 90-person team powering voice automation for companies like Better.com, helping them deliver friendly, helpful, human-like conversations at massive scale.

What you'll do

• Lead the team: Coach a team of experienced enterprise sellers every day through deal reviews, pipeline management, call coaching, and forecasting. Set a high bar and hold it.

• Get in the deals: Work 6- and 7-figure deal cycles side by side with your reps, from first conversation to close. Sharpen strategy, lead exec conversations, and help get deals over the line.

• Multi-thread to the C-suite: Build lasting executive relationships across customer orgs and earn credibility quickly with new stakeholders.

• Call your number: Spot deal risk early, build detailed stakeholder maps, and run an accurate forecast.

• Make the hard calls: Own decisions on pricing, escalation timing, exec alignment, and deal strategy. Bring a point of view, not just a problem.

• Bring in the founders: Know when getting Bland's co-founders involved will move a deal, and use them well.

• Build the GTM function: Work with Marketing, RevOps, and Product to shape our sales process, playbooks, team structure, and hiring as we scale.

• Sell AI-native: Use AI tools across the whole sales cycle, including research, outreach, call summaries, forecasting, and deal execution. Cut low-value work, put that time back into customers, and get your team doing the same.

What you'll bring

• 8 - 10 years of enterprise sales experience, including front-line leadership of enterprise AE teams.

• Experience building and scaling a sales org, including process, hiring, and team structure.

• A track record of leading a team against a $12M+ annual quota and closing complex 6- and 7-figure ACV deals.
