The Role

Having found exceptional product/market fit with 100+ B2B partners worldwide, we’re in the midst of transitioning from 'start-up' to ‘scale-up’, and looking for a transformational sales leader to capitalize on the huge potential of our product.

We are looking for a passionate revenue generator, builder and a straight up hustler to help us achieve something special. At other start-ups, you might find this role referred to as “VP of Sales”

We don’t pretend this will be easy - joining a company and embarking on the scale-up phase is an amazing challenge, pushing well beyond the boundaries of natural growth cycles. You’ll move quicker than feels comfortable, and be brilliant at continually re-prioritizing what must be done to keep Virtual Internships growing month over month.

You will

• Own the company-level revenue targets for new business & renewals across all B2B verticals (including Universities, Foundations, Corporates, Government Initiatives, and K-12)

• Define GTM strategy/playbooks to expand business across all B2B verticals

• Motivate and manage the B2B Partnership teams, and the B2B Account Management team- with 2 direct reports and a team of 17, growing to 4 direct reports and a team of 23 in 6 months

• Oversee a B2B Sales Operations Manager, to set-up scalable sales processes, compensation plans, and optimize efficiencies & touchpoints

• Partner with marketing to align go-to-market message and execution

• Work closely with product team to help influence & shape product/offering direction

• Whenever required, “lead from the front” by closing any strategic / large accounts

• Attract top talent for hiring new Partnership Development Managers & Partnership Account Managers
