Go-to-Market (Business Development)

About the role

This is a high-ownership, high-learning role at the center of how Kombo grows. You'll generate demand from a curated list of accounts we know we can serve well. ARR is our top metric company-wide, and a strong person in this role can be directly responsible for up to 20% of new revenue in a given quarter. You don't need to have already decided you want a career in sales. Some of our best people came in curious about GTM and left their first year knowing exactly what they were good at and where they wanted to go. What we care about is that you're sharp, take ownership, and want to learn fast. You'll work closely with AEs in pods, thinking strategically about how to prioritize and win top accounts. The role is thoughtful and focused, not automated or mindless. We win as a team, so you'll also work with people across the company, including the founders, to find the best way into complex, high-value accounts. Because of this, we don't micro-manage. We expect everyone here to own their role, including the people supporting you so you can hit your targets.

Responsibilities

• At any given time, only ~5% of your ICP is in market for our product. Your job is to figure out how to reach 100% of that 5%.

Requirements

• A few traits we tend to see in people who thrive here:
• You're curious and humble, and you ask questions to really understand a customer before adjusting your angle.
• You communicate clearly, in writing and on calls.
• You take ownership of your work and figure things out with structured, independent thinking.
• You have a bias toward action, and would rather ship, learn, and iterate than wait for the perfect plan.
• You want to grow fast. Whether that's into an AE role, operations, growth, or management, we promote from within and move people quickly.
• You enjoy working in person with a team.
• No specific sales experience required. We've hired from consulting, analytics, and generalist early-career roles and it's worked well.
