Job description
đ€©What makes this role special?
Build from 0â1: Youâll be the founding commercial hire for Dex, helping define the commercial playbook, partnership strategy, and expansion opportunities from the ground up.
Own both acquisition and growth: Youâll drive the full sales lifecycle, from outbound prospecting and commercial negotiations to account management and long-term growth.
Define the category: Dex isnât another product in a crowded market. Youâll create the need and educate buyers on a genuinely new kind of experience, rather than respond to existing demand.
Operate globally: Youâll work across international markets and collaborate closely with teams across product, growth, operations, and leadership.
High ownership, direct to leadership: Reporting to the GM, North America, youâll have significant autonomy, direct exposure to leadership, and the opportunity to shape how Dex evolves commercially.
đŻYou are a great fit if
Youâve closed, consultatively and end-to-end. You bring 5â8 years of enterprise sales experience and a strong quota-carrying track record of closing meaningful, consultative deals â owning the full cycle from first touch to signature.
Youâve built from zero. Youâve sold something new before, launched a product, opened a market, or created demand where none existed and you know how to build pipeline, playbooks, and process without waiting for someone to hand them to you.
You bring structure to ambiguity. You think strategically, prioritize well under competing demands, and bring clarity to situations where the path isnât defined.
You collaborate across functions. You work well with product, operations, marketing, and leadership teams to execute sales initiatives end-to-end.
A strong plus: Deep fluency with AI tools and the credibility to sell an AI product with real depth. You donât need to be an engineer but genuine curiosity about and daily use of AI will accelerate everything you do here.
Good to have: experience selling into governments, universities, public institutions, or non-profits.
đ«You are not a great fit if
You need an established playbook. Thereâs no inbound engine, no battle-tested pitch deck, and no predecessor to learn from. If you do your best work inside a mature team, this role might not be the right fit.
You prefer to sell into existing demand. Buyers donât know they need Dex yet. If educating the market and helping create a category doesnât excite you, this probably isnât the role for you.
You want a narrowly-scoped closing role. Youâll prospect, pitch, negotiate, close, and manage accounts, all of it.
Ambiguity slows you down. Priorities will shift as we learn. If you need certainty before you can move, the pace here wonât suit you.
