Form of workAbout Vantage:
Vantage is a cloud cost visibility and optimization platform, alternatively known as a FinOps platform. We help companies of all sizes manage their cloud infrastructure costs: everything from individual developers all the way up to multiple Fortune 500 customers. Our co-founders are industry veterans who have been former infrastructure engineers and product managers at DigitalOcean and AWS. The company is an efficient and hard working team of ~30 employees across the US with a New York City center of gravity. As we transition to the growth phase of the business, it's likely our team size will at least double into 2024.
Our current customers include Square, Aflac, Rippling, Compass, Buzzfeed, Barstool Sports, PBS, Planetscale, and Starburst.
Vantage has raised $25M in total venture capital, most recently a $21M Series A financing round in March of 2023. Our investors include outstanding, top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Scale Venture Partners, Matthew Prince (Co-Founder & CEO, Cloudflare), Calvin French Owen (Co-Founder, Segment), Ben and Moisey Uretsky (Co-Founders, DigitalOcean), Stephanie and Nat Friedman (CEO, Github), Julia Lipton, Brianne Kimmel and others.
About the Role:
Vantage has achieved product market fit and we believe the Head of Sales will have an incredible, career-making opportunity if properly executed. We're looking for a sales professional to help hire, grow and run our sales team. Ideally this person has "seen what great looks like" and wants to replicate it at Vantage. This person should feel comfortable as a player-coach and will hold responsibilities of finding strategies for identifying new customers for prospecting, track and grow pipeline, forecast and define sales targets and recruiting the best sales team possible
As the single-threaded leader for sales you will report to the CEO of the company who will be actively involved in supporting anything sales and marketing related. Our organization has a high emotional intelligence, hard working and collaborative culture. You'll have a world class product and engineering team. Our growing marketing team also generates hundreds of leads on a consistent, monthly basis. Despite all the above, we are looking for a high-intensity, progress-focused individual.
At this stage of the company you should have the willingness to spend portions of your day doing everything from working together with the team reviewing SDR copy to joining F500 customer calls.
This is a New York City based role.
