What you will do

  • build and manage a pipeline of enterprise opportunities across news media, streaming, and e-commerce subscriptions, combining outbound prospecting with event and conference follow-ups.
  • run discovery, demo, and commercial conversations with senior stakeholders and navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
  • collaborate with our Lifecycle Engineers and Solutions Engineers to ensure new customers get off to a strong start.

  • build and nurture industry relationships and represent Subsets at key events and conferences.

You may be a great fit if you have

  • (required) you're comfortable navigating complex, multi-stakeholder deals and building champions across an organisation.
  • big plus if you have experience selling SaaS into subscription businesses or working with marketing tech - or a strong desire to build deep expertise here.
  • you have a consultative, value-led approach and connect product to business outcomes, not features to specs.
  • you have a builder mindset: you're not just executing a playbook, you're helping write it.
  • a strong bias toward action and the ability to work autonomously in fast-paced, loosely defined environments.
  • you don't think twice about booking a last-minute flight to be in the room.
  • you prefer a primarily in-office way of working and are energized by the pace and intensity of early-stage startups.

Perks

  • competitive salary and equity.
  • company card for all things office food/snacks.
  • dinner when working late in the office
  • 401(k) matching at 100% on the first 3% and 50% on the next 2% of employee contributions
