We are a growth-stage technology company at the forefront of geospatial imaging. We provide high-fidelity, actionable spatial data and analytics that empower our clients to make critical, real-world decisions. As we scale our market presence, we are looking for driven, agile professionals to help us build the foundation for exponential revenue growth.

• Collaborate with Leadership: Work hand-in-hand with the CEO, Marketing, and Product teams to refine go-to-market strategies, relay customer feedback, and iterate on pricing and packaging.

Maximize Growth: Consistently meet and exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets while helping establish scalable sales processes for the future.

• Experience: 4+ years of B2B sales experience in SaaS, enterprise software, or complex technology sales.
• Industry Knowledge: Prior experience selling into Insurance, State & Local Government, or AEC is highly preferred. Familiarity with geospatial data, GIS, or imaging technology is a massive plus.

• Track Record: Documented history of consistently exceeding quota and driving revenue growth in a startup or growth-stage environment.
• Executive Presence: Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to confidently pitch to C-level executives, technical buyers, and government officials.

• The unique opportunity to sell a category-defining, AI-ready solution across industries and use cases
• An exciting startup culture where you will have the opportunity to play a critical role in building and scaling a one-of-a-kind technology in direct partnership with the founding/executive team
• A diverse and inclusive workplace where we welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives
