Overview
We’re looking for a total sales pro, a hunter, who thrives in a fast-paced, business-building environment. He/she must be a self-starter with proven success in closing big business with senior-level executives at enterprise corporations, preferably selling solutions into HR at companies with over 2,000 employees.
This is highly strategic position that will lead overall growth strategy and execution at Ascendify. You’ll be a key member of the executive team, reporting to the CEO.

You’ll build the sales function from the ground-up: creating opportunities in a start-up environment, conducting sales presentations, negotiating and closing six-figure deals with enterprise accounts and building out the sales team as we grow.
