Our API is powerful and we have built two successful products atop it (PriceYak and JoeLister). Thousands of small businesses owners around the world make a living using Zinc's software. As the backbone of these small independent online stores, Zinc's software powers hundreds of millions of dollars in annual sales. We offer an unconventional work environment focused on results, not hours. Zinc is backed by Y Combinator and some of the best Angel investors, but also profitable and independent.


About the Role

The Head of Sales will be Zinc's first dedicated sales hire, and will have a tremendous impact on the development of Zinc's sales process and team. Our products sell well through strong inbound self-service signups and occasional outbound campaigns. We want someone to institute and implement on ongoing outbound sales process.
We have a strong lead sourcing strategy. We need to call these leads and demonstrate how Zinc's software can help their business grow substantially. Then we need to help onboard them, which can be a somewhat technical process. The head of sales will also need to negotiate contracts and lead occasional feature development for our largest sales prospects.

The position offers extreme flexibility and you get to work from our cool new office in Union Square with awesome people/dog/Costco snacks/meals etc.

Requirements:

  • Experience with outbound sales.
  • Strong communication skills. Most of our prospective customers prefer to interact via phone.
