Sales Executive - AI Forward

Single Grain

The Role Single Grain is hiring a Sales Executive - AI Forward to lead a revenue inflection point. This is not a sales manager role. This is a player-coach closer and revenue owner mandate. We are at an inflection point in our growth. Founder-led sales has driven us to this stage. Now we need a revenue operator who can personally close meaningful deals, install systems discipline, and build a repeatable enterprise sales motion. You will: - Personally close significant annual revenue - Upgrade pipeline rigor and accountability - Install CRM and conversion discipline - Embed AI workflows into the sales process - Reduce founder dependency in revenue generation This role may evolve into leading the sales function entirely based on performance. If you are looking to manage a team and stay out of closing, this is not the role. If you want to own revenue, install structure, and build a modern AI-forward sales engine, read on. Measurable revenue impact is expected within the first 6 months. About Single Grain Single Grain is a fast-moving, award-winning, AI-driven digital marketing agency. We’ve been helping top brands like Amazon, Uber, and Salesforce grow since 2009. We specialize in Paid Media, SEO, Content Marketing, CRO, and more, powered by a lean, high-performing team focused on smart, impactful work. We don’t just use AI, we build it. We’ve created proprietary AI tools including Karrot.ai, an AI-powered performance marketing system that generates ads, landing pages, and campaign assets in seconds, and ClickFlow, an AI-driven SEO experimentation platform that helps teams identify content opportunities, optimize pages, and increase organic traffic through systematic testing and workflow automation. These tools aren’t side projects. They’re embedded into how we operate and how we serve clients. We practice what we preach. Our blog brings in over 200,000 monthly visitors, our podcast has 100+ million downloads, and more than 140,000 marketers subscribe to our YouTube channel. We move quickly, push hard, and expect a lot from ourselves and each other. AI isn’t just a tool we use. It’s core to how we operate, from creative to strategy to execution. Our long-term vision is to build a small but elite team that stays lean, scrappy, and relentlessly focused on tech-enabled innovation and measurable business impact. We don’t micromanage. We don’t hire people who need their hands held. But we do collaborate deeply, give honest feedback, and leave space for mistakes, growth, and iteration. No egos, no fluff, just people who care about doing great work and supporting each other. What You’ll Do - Personally close high-value enterprise and complex service deals - Increase average deal size and improve pricing discipline - Build and enforce CRM rigor and pipeline accountability - Operate from dashboards, not instinct - Install conversion math across every stage of the funnel - Reduce founder involvement in late-stage deals - Build a repeatable enterprise sales motion - Embed AI workflows into prospecting, qualification, and deal acceleration - Improve outbound quality and strategic targeting - Increase overall revenue predictability Non-Negotiable Requirements - Put “AI is cool” as the first line of your cover letter or subject line, or your application will not be reviewed. - Proven track record closing 6- and 7-figure deals - Must personally close $2M to $4M+ in annual revenue - Experience selling complex services such as agency, consulting, SaaS, or transformation - Comfortable selling to C-suite stakeholders - Able to defend premium pricing - Demonstrated ownership of meaningful annual revenue - AI experience is mandatory. You must: - Actively use AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude in your sales workflow - Be able to describe specific AI use cases - Understand how AI is changing marketing delivery - Think in leverage, automation, and process efficiency If AI usage is surface-level, this role is not a fit. Ideal Profile You are: - Calm but aggressive - Analytical but persuasive - Confident but not arrogant - Structured yet fast-moving - Comfortable being measured weekly - Obsessed with pipeline math - High-agency and high-accountability You thrive in: - Direct feedback cultures - High standards - Ownership environments - Measurable performance expectations What This Role Is NOT - Not a sales manager who avoids closing - Not a relationship seller without pipeline rigor - Not a lone wolf closer who resists process - Not an old school sales operator - Not politically sensitive or ego-fragile - Not skeptical of AI What Success Looks Like Within the first 6 months: - Significant personally closed revenue - Increased deal size - Founder involvement reduced - Clear pipeline math installed Within 12 months: - Enterprise sales motion repeatable - AI workflows embedded into sales - Revenue growth materially upgraded Compensation & Structure Title: Head of AI-Enabled Sales Reports to: CEO Target OTE: $300K to $350K

Strong candidates for this role typically have: - Personally closed $3M+ revenue in a year - Built or rebuilt a sales system from scratch - Used AI and automation in their sales workflow - Led a team while still carrying meaningful production If that excites you, keep reading.

Our CEO Eric Siu hosts the Leveling Up podcast and co-hosts Marketing School with Neil Patel, reaching millions of marketers and founders every month. This brand ecosystem gives us reach most agencies don't have. But brand alone doesn't build a revenue engine. That's where you come in.

This is a player-coach role where you will: - Carry a personal revenue quota - Lead and level up a small sales team - Build the sales systems that drive predictable pipeline - Implement AI across the sales workflow - Help scale our transition to tech-enabled services You are not here to manage a pipeline. You are here to build the revenue machine. What You'll Own Personal Revenue You will actively close deals across the full portfolio: - Enterprise marketing retainers - SaaS products - Hybrid services + software solutions Our deals often involve multiple stakeholders and complex problem-solving, so consultative selling is essential. Sales Systems We care about systems more than heroics. You will: - Improve pipeline structure and forecasting - Install CRM discipline and reporting - Create repeatable sales playbooks - Document processes that make the team faster If something can be systematized, you systematize it. Outbound Growth Historically, our pipeline has leaned heavily inbound. You will help design a repeatable outbound engine, including: - ICP definition - Messaging frameworks - Multi-channel outreach - AI-assisted prospect research - Automated sales workflows The goal isn't more activity. The goal is predictable pipeline generation. AI-Native Sales Single Grain is an AI-forward company. Every department uses AI daily. Sales leaders here are expected to: - Use AI for prospect research and list building - Automate repetitive workflows - Analyze call transcripts and pipeline data - Improve forecasting and reporting - Identify new tools that increase team leverage If your AI strategy is "write better emails," this is not the role for you. Team Leadership You'll inherit a small but capable sales team. Your role is to: - Coach reps through complex deals - Improve performance standards - Increase accountability - Identify process gaps or talent gaps Great sales leaders build systems that make their teams better. What Success Looks Like Within your first year: - You're consistently closing meaningful revenue - Pipeline visibility and forecasting accuracy improve dramatically - Outbound becomes a predictable pipeline source - Agency clients begin adopting our software products - AI workflows make the team significantly faster - Sales playbooks and systems are documented and repeatable In short: The machine runs better because you built it. Who This Role Is Perfect For You'll likely thrive here if you: - Have built or rebuilt a sales engine - Have carried quota while leading others - Are comfortable selling both services and SaaS - Think in systems and metrics - Use AI tools regularly in your workflow - Prefer building infrastructure over managing large teams Who This Role Is Not For This role is not a fit if you: - Depend on large teams before proving process - Avoid AI or automation - Rely heavily on founder-led selling - Prefer maintaining existing systems instead of building new ones - Default to generic sales playbooks Our Hiring Process After an initial screen, select candidates will complete a Sales Leadership Challenge. This challenge evaluates: - Strategic thinking - Sales system design - AI fluency - Understanding of Single Grain's market - Communication clarity We will compare your thinking against AI outputs for the same challenge. Generic answers will not pass. One More Thing Strong candidates typically research before applying.
