Founding Entry-Level Sales Role (aka SDR/BDR/Lead Generation)

About Us

Purplefish is transforming the trillion dollar labor (talent) industry with powerful agentic software that helps people get jobs at top companies all around the world. Outside of spending time with loved ones, we're at work most of our lives as humans, most people don't like where they work, and looking for a job is simply excruciating. We're making it a better experience for everyone involved. Purplefish was founded by Adam Sirois and Martin Kess, two experienced entrepreneurs and technologists with a track record of success in the tech industry. At Fractal Software, they worked together to launch 145 venture-backed vertical SaaS companies out of a $650M fund. Tier 1 investors including 8VC, founder of GitHub, lead voice AI researcher Open AI.

The Opportunity

First 'sales' hire that will work directly with the CEO (Adam, who was a former CRO), and an otherwise truly elite engineering-driven organization led by a phenomenal CTO (Martin) and top tier technical talent. If you're looking to get into sales/tech/AI, this is The Dream Scenario.

What You'll Do

• Generate interest for Purplefish and book meetings with target prospects at large staffing/recruiting firms and corporate recruiting organizations
• Build and execute multi-channel (phone, social, email, events) outreach strategies
• THIS IS A PHONE-FIRST ROLE: you will be spending the majority of your time on the phone and doing tons of cold calling (we will train you)
• Meet and exceed daily, weekly, and monthly activity goals
• This is enterprise sales: we're selling to executives at global leaders across multiple industries and helping some of the largest staffing firms hire people for the top companies in the world

What We're Looking For

• High IQ + EQ, Gritty Drive = you are super high agency with Aggressive Productivity and Relentless in whatever you're obsessed with
• We value talent and potential over experience and we LOVE career changers for this role. Especially if you were doing something that requires persuasion (some form of sales, customer success, recruiting, product, teaching, fundraising, etc)
• Must have at least 1.5 years of working experience, but this role could work well for multiple career stages
• Someone excited and able to be in office 5 days per week in Soho NYC (there's a 1% chance you could persuade Adam to do this role hybrid or remote, but you would have to absolutely blow his mind)
• Coachability and excellent communication skills
