About Ashby

We’re building the next generation of enterprise software and we’re starting with a suite of products that empower talent leaders, recruiters, and hiring managers to be a driving force for revenue & efficiency via a holistic, data-centric talent strategy.

We are well funded and backed by great investors, including Y Combinator, Elad Gil and Lachy Groom. We have almost 2,000 amazing customers including Snowflake, OpenAI, Shopify, Ramp, Notion, and Zapier (and many others who we cannot name!).

We have a clear buyer persona and large target market. Plus, we already have multiple products to sell. Revenue and headcount is growing 100% Y/Y and we've only taken the first steps towards a much larger opportunity. In short, it's the perfect time to join! 🚀

About this Role

You will help us win Mid-Market accounts in Mountain and Pacific time zones by managing the full sales cycle from pipeline generation through to closed-won.

• 🏔️ You skillfully guide prospects through the evaluation & buying process—engaging the right stakeholders to create consensus for a strategic technology decision.

• 🤓 You love becoming a product and industry expert. You're adept at delivering a quick demo to showcase how your solution meets a unique need.

• ⚡️ Your peers describe you as action-oriented and persistent. You're always on the leaderboard for outbound effort and pipeline created.

• ⏱️ You leverage tools to maximize the impact of your prospecting and selling time. You believe in research and personalization to spark a conversation.

• ⚙️ You are at home managing a pipeline of a dozen or more active opportunities concurrently. You take pride in internal operations, including real-time CRM updates.
