Job Details

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2013, and have customers like OpenAI, Aspire, Toyota, Figma, Capgemini, Perplexity and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

  • Lead a team of Account Executives who handles full cycle sales activities, including: prospecting/building pipeline, developing new potential accounts, expanding existing customers, and renewing an install base
  • Own the strategy of your team’s territory, including how the team maximizes the revenue it is generating and retaining
  • Own the execution of your team’s strategy, including the team forecast and pipeline generation
  • Work with cross functional partners to build playbooks and define our sales motion
  • Liaise with our incredible user base to provide world class customer experience
  • Drive executive level relationships - internally and externally

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • 8+ years of full cycle sales at a fast growing software company
  • 5+ years of leading a sales organization at a fast growing software company
