## Job description

## About us

Garage powers the exchange of critical assets across America’s essential industries. We started with fire departments, where purchasing mission-critical vehicles and equipment used to take months of paperwork, phone calls, and delays. Our agentic platform automates the entire transaction: discovery, payments, freight, paperwork, warranty, and financing. What once took months now takes minutes. In under a year, we’ve expanded to cities and towns in all 50 states and grown revenue more than 10x. Based in New York, we’ve raised $18M from Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Infinity Ventures, FJ Labs, and other leading investors. We’re moving fast, growing quickly, and just getting started.

## About the Role

- Partner closely with the CEO and broader leadership team, using data to identify gaps across the funnel, uncover strategic opportunities, and improve how Garage sells as the company grows.
- Lead, coach, and develop Garage’s Account Executive team, driving performance against ambitious supply and sales goals while helping recruit, onboard, and ramp new hires.
- Build and continuously improve the processes, pipeline discipline, and operating rhythms needed to grow the sales organization and consistently expand the seller base on Garage’s marketplace.

## What we’re looking for

- Loves the energy of a high-growth environment where every day looks a little different
- Leads from the front and knows how to motivate and hold a team accountable
- Has good judgment, high integrity, and a no-task-too-small mindset

## What you need

- 3+ years of experience in sales or business development, with a proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding goals
- Experience coaching, mentoring, or managing salespeople, with strong pipeline management and sales fundamentals
- Exceptional organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- Self-starter who thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and takes initiative without waiting for direction

## Our values

- Growth oriented. We invest in people who grow as the company grows. We all should be constantly learning.
- Humility. Everyone has a lot to give and a lot to learn. We believe in creating an environment where the best ideas win and acknowledging when we are wrong.
- Customer focused. We have a genuine love for our customers. Customer success is our success.
- Hack to success. We move fast and take big swings. We always aim for a solution that addresses 80% of the problem in 20% of the time. We make informed bets, launch quickly, and iterate.

Why Garage?

- Our product is something people use everyday to buy the equipment local communities everywhere depend on.
- We have a talent-dense, high-performance team where everyone joining now has an outsized impact.
- What we’ve built works. We’re backed by world-class vendors: Y Combinator, Infinity Ventures, Initialized Capital, FJ Labs, and more.
- You’ll be one of our first 40 employees, operating as a foundational member of the team, partnering alongside the company’s founders.

## What we offer

We work hard to evaluate all employees and job applicants consistently, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, natural origin, age, disability, pregnancy, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected class.
