Job Description

80Twenty is a specialized recruiting firm that finds and places exceptional growth talent — the 20% that drives 80% of results. We specialize in Sales, Marketing, Account Management, Customer Success, and Creative roles for growth-stage and scaling companies. We are partnering with a Series A-stage AI company redefining how businesses manage accounts receivable. Their platform uses AI agents trained on over $100 billion of historical data to automate collections, predict at-risk payments, and give finance teams real-time visibility into cash flow. Their newest product is purpose-built for speed: implementation in 48 hours, intuitive enough that teams are live and closing faster than anything else on the market. The company growing fast, and building sales hubs in New York City and San Francisco. This is hire #1 on the sales team, a seat that shapes how the go-to-market motion gets built.

Job Responsibility

  • Build and close new pipeline from scratch
  • quota starts at $500K ARR in year one
  • Run the full sales cycle: outbound prospecting through signed contract
  • Own the customer relationship through implementation until a CSM is hired at 7 closed accounts
  • Conduct product demos and guide prospects through a structured two-month trial
  • Work directly with the CEO, COO, credit analysts, and tech team on complex deals
  • Sell to CFOs, CEOs, Controllers, and AR Managers across multi-stakeholder deals

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of full-cycle B2B sales experience, owning the process start to finish
  • Track record of exceeding quota, ideally at a company without a big brand name behind it
  • SaaS background strongly preferred
  • AI or fintech exposure is a plus
  • Comfortable in a pre-playbook environment where you build the process, not follow one
  • The definition of hungry: you outwork, outlearn, and outrun everyone around you
  • History of high performance outside of work too: athletics, academics, something that shows you know how to compete
  • Previous AEs who needed structure or a handed-off playbook didn't make it here. That's not you.

Nice to have

  • SaaS background
  • AI or fintech exposure

What we offer

  • Uncapped comp with a starting quota that scales as the business does
  • Founding equity, not a standard rep grant
  • Direct access to the CEO and leadership team with no layers and no politics
  • Clear path to leadership as NYC and SF hubs grow
