About the role

You will build the earliest go-to-market motion for a platform that helps organizers publish events, sell tickets, and manage admission. This is not a mature sales machine; it is founder-style selling, market learning, and relationship building.

Responsibilities

Source and qualify organizers, promoters, venues, and creator-led communities.
Run discovery, demos, follow-up, proposal, and closing conversations.
Turn sales objections into product, pricing, onboarding, and positioning feedback.
Build a simple CRM rhythm that keeps pipeline honest without adding theater.

Qualifications

Experience selling SaaS, marketplaces, ticketing, creator tools, events, or local services.
Comfort with outbound, relationship-led selling, and direct customer conversations.
Good judgment about when to sell, when to listen, and when to route feedback to product.
Ability to operate without heavy sales infrastructure or a large marketing engine.
