Job Description

Founding Sales owner driving outbound subscriptions to Indian startups. Building Weekday's sales engine for its AI-native recruiting platform and talent database.

Responsibilities:

  • Own outbound sales to Indian startups from prospecting through closing and handoff
  • Build target lists of Indian startups that are hiring and identify decision-makers
  • Run cold outbound campaigns across email, LinkedIn, and phone
  • Iterate on outbound messaging to improve response rates
  • Run demos tailored to prospects' open roles
  • Close subscription deals and handle pricing, procurement, and objections
  • Hand closed accounts over to the delivery team
  • Maintain accurate CRM pipeline data
  • Report sales numbers to the founders weekly
  • Collaborate with other AEs to identify effective practices and create repeatable processes
  • Drive closed revenue and pipeline generation

Requirements:

  • You've sold B2B before, ideally to startups, ideally something a founder had to say yes to
  • Comfortable with cold outbound across email, LinkedIn, and phone
  • Able to run demos that feel like conversations and end with a next step
  • Able to close deals, ask for the deal, and handle objections
  • Strong ownership and accountability for sales numbers
  • Experience seeing a sales team grow, or motivation to help build and scale one
  • Understanding of the Indian startup ecosystem, including hiring and fundraising activity
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and a Monday–Saturday pace

Benefits:

  • An early seat on a sales team that's about to scale, at a profitable, venture-backed company
  • Direct access to the founders and a say in pricing, positioning, and what we build next
  • A product with real pull: the largest white-collar talent database in India and outbound tooling that companies actually get hires from
  • A clear path to leading a team as the function grows, if you earn it
  • A front-row seat to how a startup gets built and run, and the track record to show for it when you build your own
