Job Description

Attn career-changers: b reak into tech sales...

First Entry-Level Sales Role (aka SDR/BDR/Lead Generation) at Purplefish.com

• Ground floor of a well-funded, NYC AI startup with experienced founders and real momentum 
• Seeking career-changers, wildly ambitious generalists and future founders that want to learn sales
• $100K Expected Annual Comp (aka ‘On Target Earnings’)

Why Purplefish?

• You will be doing majorly impactful work. Purplefish is transforming the trillion dollar labor (talent) industry with powerful agentic software that helps people get jobs at top companies all around the world. Outside of spending time with loved ones, we’re at work most of our lives as humans, most people don’t like where they work, and looking for a job is simply excruciating. We’re making it a better experience for everyone involved. 
• Purplefish was founded by Adam Sirois and Martin Kess, two experienced entrepreneurs and technologists with a track record of success in the tech industry. At Fractal Software, they worked together to launch 145 venture-backed vertical SaaS companies out of a $650M fund.
• Tier 1 investors including 8VC, founder of GitHub, lead voice AI researcher Open AI

Why This Opportunity?

• First “sales” hire that will work directly with the CEO (Adam, who was a former CRO), and an otherwise truly elite engineering-driven organization led by a phenomenal CTO (Martin) and top tier technical talent…(if you’re looking to get into sales/tech/AI…this is The Dream Scenario)
• You will acquire world class sales education and a fast-tracked career in tech and enterprise sales. Adam is the former CRO at Fractal and at Wunderkind, where he went $0-$100M as revenue leader. 20+ salespeople that he has hired have gone on to become VPs of Sales, CROs or CEOs.
• You will also have access to world class sales talent like our advisor Isaiah Crossman fmr. CRO of Tropic.
• Clear path to making $100K, but the experience and education will be worth 10X that. If you are smart, driven and coachable, we will coach you to extreme success. You will 100% grow into a future Account Exec or Customer Success role (if you want to and you perform).
• If you fancy yourself a future founder (which we LOVE for this role), you will get a front row seat to how a startup goes 0-1
• Full-time in our Soho, NYC office

What Will You Do?

• Your job is to generate interest for Purplefish and book meetings with target prospects at large staffing/recruiting firms and corporate recruiting organizations.
• To do this, you will build and execute multi-channel (phone, social, email, events) outreach strategies…however please note: THIS IS A PHONE-FIRST ROLE : you will be spending the majority of your time on the phone and doing tons of cold calling (we will train you).
• You will meet and exceed your daily, weekly, and monthly activity goals
• This is enterprise sales: we’re selling to executives at global leaders across multiple industries and helping some of the largest staffing firms hire people for the top companies in the world

Who Are We Looking For?

Traits :

• High IQ + EQ
• Gritty Drive = you are super high agency with Aggressive Productivity and Relentless in whatever you’re obsessed with
• Coachability

Experience:

• We value talent and potential over experience and we LOVE career changers for this role. 
• Especially if you were doing *something* that requires persuasion (*some* form of sales, customer success, recruiting, product, teaching, fundraising, etc)
• Must have at least 1.5 years of working experience, but this role could work well for multiple career stages 

5 Days per Week in NYC Office : 

• Someone excited and able to be in office 5 days per week in Soho NYC
