About the role
- Your pipeline of ~200 comes from Pursuit's long-established employer relationships and network.
- The placement motion is still evolving, so you'll also be expected to learn quickly from the market and rapidly iterate to test and improve the approach over time.
Responsibilities
- Own warm executive introductions end to end, from first conversation through a Builder starting work.
- Design the commercial structure for each opportunity. Direct hire, multi-hire cohort, paid apprenticeship or more. Judge what will actually close with this buyer and build it.
- Follow up consistently and creatively to keep opportunities moving, navigate objections, and maintain momentum through long or ambiguous sales cycles.
- Maintain disciplined pipeline tracking, outreach activity, next steps, and employer records across internal systems.
- Build and run the funnel. Define stages and qualification criteria, keep next steps dated, and hold a forecast you'd stand behind in a weekly review.
- We'll finalize the plan with you before you start, and we'd rather design it with someone who has lived inside a good one.
- Dedicated time to experiment with AI and build AI fluency
- Working session on a real account from our pipeline - how you'd read it, structure it, and drive it to a close.
Requirements
- You've opened a new territory, launched a new motion, or helped build a market - and personally did the outreach, discovery, and follow-through required to make it work.
Nice to have
- 5+ years closing B2B business - sales, business development, strategic partnerships, staffing and recruiting, or professional services.
- Comfortable with an offering that changes shape per account.
- You've sold something where the answer to "what exactly am I buying" had to be built during the conversation.
- Strong discovery skills with the ability to uncover and shape real business and hiring needs rather than defaulting to a standard pitch.
- You've owned a full cycle or led complex partnership conversations from first contact through close.
- Pipeline discipline as a habit, not a chore.
- You can explain your conversion rates by stage and know where your deals actually die.
- You can translate capability into business value for very different buyers.
Compensation
- $170,000 base salary. On-target earnings of $275,000-$300,000.
- Variable compensation is tied to two things: placements closed and how well you run the funnel - pipeline coverage, stage discipline, conversion rates, and forecast accuracy.
- exceptional candidates bring different depth, and compensation will reflect that.
Benefits
- Unlimited PTO plus organization-wide summer and winter breaks
- Comprehensive health benefits
