About the role
- This is a full-cycle, self-sourced sales role.
- You will work directly with the CEO and founding team, and you will play a visible role in shaping Parq's go-to-market motion.
- You should be energized by a blank territory, not intimidated by it.
Responsibilities
- The best early salespeople do two things most people cannot do at the same time: they create pipeline from nothing, and they turn early curiosity into signed business.
- Parq is looking for a Sales Director who wants to own that full motion.
- This is an individual contributor role for a high-agency hunter who can open cold accounts, run sharp discovery, create urgency, and close deals in a market that is just beginning to understand what is possible.
- Bid support depends on whoever happens to know the answer.
- We have built the product intelligence layer for building materials manufacturers:
- You will be responsible for building your own pipeline, opening target accounts, qualifying real opportunities, running discovery, shaping the business case, and closing initial deals.
- This role is ideal for a top-performing BDR, senior SDR, or early-career AE who has proven they can create opportunity from cold outreach and is ready to own revenue.
- Create pipeline from zero Build target account lists across building materials manufacturers.
- Create conversations with senior leaders who may not yet know Parq or the category.
- Develop account-specific hypotheses around product data chaos, compliance friction, technical support burden, sales enablement gaps, and bid-response delays.
Requirements
- Proven ability to source qualified pipeline through cold outbound.
- Comfort speaking with senior buyers who did not ask to hear from you.
- Ability to explain a new category clearly without sounding scripted.
Skills
- Run disciplined outbound sequences using tools like Apollo, Clay, LaGrowthMachine, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and Attio.
Compensation
- $150,000 - $180,000 (dependent on experience)
Benefits
- Meaningful early-stage equity grant, dependent on experience
Company info
- Our founder started Parq after experiencing the compliance process firsthand - frustrated by how complex, slow, and expensive it was, and by how much that complexity fell on manufacturers who did not deserve it.
- Our mission is simple: give people their time back, help manufacturers compete on what matters, and make every product decision better informed, more sustainable, and less painful to make.
