Job Descrption
It’s an exciting time to join Gearset! In the last few years we’ve rocketed from a 7 person start-up to nearly 240 people, and we’re only just getting started. As a product-driven company founded by engineers, we’ve built a platform that truly solves a problem for our customers, and we’re looking for a Sales Manager to join a team built from the ground up on trust, teamwork and tight feedback loops.
On the front lines of our sales org, you’ll support a team with exposure to thousands of companies, all striving to improve their DevOps processes. Working closely with folks in the earlier stages of their SaaS sales career, you’ll see the difference the coaching and training you deliver makes every day, and have a measurable impact on the success of the business.
Our culture of trust, transparency, and collaboration, means everyone at Gearset is given the autonomy to succeed and are trusted to do good work. We only add process when it helps us get things done, and we’re allergic to pointless meetings! We live by our
company values, which aren’t just nice words—they guide us through day-to-day challenges and are the foundation of how we work together.
We know that development and progression is important to strong Sales Managers, and at Gearset you’ll find it comes in many forms. From the chance to collaborate with other really smart people who help you learn and raise your game, to having an annual learning and development budget for conferences, events, and courses. All this coupled with flexible working, and the opportunity to help shape a sales org which is rapidly growing.
Our sales team is united by a common purpose: delighting our customers, and propelling forward as the market leader for Salesforce DevOps. We’re confident in our product, market potential, and we have big plans for the future.
