In your day-to-day, you will

• Run a coaching-first operating cadence: weekly 1:1s, call coaching, deal reviews, pipeline reviews, and QBRs

• Coach reps to balance outbound with inbound and product-led opportunities, so pipeline creation is never inbound-only

• Coach reps on discovery and tailored demos that connect Base44 to a customer’s real workflow and business problem

• Help reps manage the buying process by aligning decision-makers, working through technical and legal questions, and owning commercial terms through close

• Stay close to key deals and jump in as a player-coach where it moves the outcome

• Partner with Account Management on handoff and expansion

• Shape the foundational SMB sales motion, including messaging, outreach strategies, and customer segmentation to support future scale

• Accurately forecast, manage pipeline coverage, and hold the team to CRM best practices

• Read pipeline and performance data to spot patterns, diagnose what is driving results, and decide what to change

• Bring AI into how your team works, from prep and outreach to call review and coaching, and share what works across the org

• Act as a feedback loop between the market and the product team to influence roadmap and positioning

• 6+ years of B2B sales experience in a technology company, including 2+ years directly managing quota-carrying AEs, with a track record of team attainment and improved win rates

• Strong personal track record of exceeding quota in SMB environments with shorter sales cycles and high-volume deal flow

• A proven coach who can break down a deal, give direct feedback, and visibly improve rep performance

• A strong problem solver who thinks creatively and independently, and can point to a significant problem you solved for your company

• Hands-on use of AI with your team, with real examples of how it changed the way your team sells or operates

• High emotional intelligence: you build trust, give candid feedback with care, and lead through ambiguity and change

• Strong analytical skills: you are comfortable reading a data set, pulling out the insights, and turning them into action

• Experience with PLG or “land and expand” motions, leveraging ICs to drive organizational adoption

• Familiarity with AI, ML, or developer-centric SaaS, and comfort discussing technical workflows with stakeholders

• Self-motivated, goal-oriented, and comfortable with the ambiguity of a “startup within a giant” environment

• Located in or near the Salt Lake City, Utah, or San Diego, California area
