You’ll join a lean, collaborative, and ambitious team - where every deal you close helps shape how companies understand people.

👎 Downsides

  • You’ll have a lot on your plate. We’ve seen high outbound conversion and inbound interest. You’ll need to be disciplined and energetic to effectively maintain and scale your book.
  • We’re metrics driven. Conversion rates, calls booked and ARR are important top lines that we need to measure constantly. You’ll need to be diligent about collecting and using this data to optimise your sales process.
  • We’re hands off. You’ll need to learn quickly, be proactive and ready to collaborate cross-functionally with other members of the team if needs be to close and expand your deals.

👍 Upsides

  • You’ll learn a lot. Right now we are in a high growth post PMF phase of the company. This is a unique opportunity to experience working at startup transitioning into scaling mode.
  • You’ll be well rewarded. Competitive salary, equity, bonuses, and benefits and a strong performance-based upside.
  • You won’t be alone. Our team is very cross-functional and always willing to get stuck in where help is needed.
  • You’ll work with cutting-edge AI. We’re transforming an entire industry—this is a chance to be at the forefront of AI-driven insights.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage the full sales cycle from prospecting to close across mid-market and SMB accounts & enterprise-level opportunities.
  • Build relationships with research, insights, and marketing teams across diverse industries.
  • Develop a deep understanding of CoLoop’s platform and how it drives value for qualitative researchers and brand teams.
  • Work closely with Marketing and Product to refine messaging, identify ideal customer profiles, and feed insights back into our go-to-market strategy.
  • Consistently exceed quarterly revenue targets while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction and integrity in every interaction.
  • Act as a trusted advisor - understanding client goals and crafting thoughtful, consultative business cases.
  • Grow into enterprise accounts by honing your ability to navigate complex buying processes and multiple stakeholders.

What You Bring

  • 2–5 years of experience in SaaS sales, ideally selling to mid-market or SMB clients.
  • A track record of exceeding quota and managing a healthy pipeline.
  • Strong discovery, storytelling, and demo skills — you know how to translate a product’s value into business outcomes.
  • Curiosity about how brands use qualitative research and AI to make better decisions.
  • Comfortable in ambiguity - you thrive in a startup environment where you can shape process, not just follow it.
  • Ambition to polish & take the next step- you’re eager to grow into enterprise level sales, managing strategic, multi-stakeholder deals.
  • CRM fluency (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar) and a disciplined approach to pipeline management.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience selling research, insights, marketing, or data analytics tools.
  • Familiarity with how insights and research functions operate inside brands & agencies.
  • Understanding of enterprise deal cycles (procurement, legal review, multi-stakeholder selling).

  • Direct access to leadership - your voice and ideas matter.
  • A culture of curiosity, humility, and growth.
  • Competitive compensation package with uncapped commission potential.
  • Flexible work environment - we focus on outcomes, not hours.
