Reinvent What Sales Looks Like in the Age of AI

The Opportunity

8x Social hit 1.2M ARR in 5 months - the fastest company in Entrepreneur First history. But here's what's different about our sales team: we've already automated 90% of the pipeline. AI agents research prospects, enrich data, draft outreach, manage sequences, and score leads. The foundations are set.

Now we need someone to take ownership. This role isn't about grinding through a call list. It's about working with the CEO to figure out what a sales team looks like when AI handles the repetitive work - and a human handles the high-judgment calls, relationship building, and deal closing that machines can't do yet.

What You Will Do

• Own the human layer of sales. AI handles research, enrichment, outreach drafting, and sequencing. You handle the conversations, objections, and closing that require judgment.
• Work directly with the CEO on sales strategy. Define what the autonomous sales team looks like. What should AI do next? Where does a human still add the most value?
• Close deals and run client calls. Download campaign data, present results, handle objections. You need to be the person who can jump on any call with full context.
• Improve the AI systems. Give feedback on agent outputs - outreach quality, lead scoring accuracy, research depth. You are the human-in-the-loop that makes the system smarter.
• Build what doesn't exist yet. We are writing the playbook for AI-native sales in real time. There is no template. You will help create it.

Who We Are Looking For

You are fresh out of (or finishing) a master's from a top business school - HEC, LBS, Bocconi, ESADE, or similar. You are commercially minded, extremely confident, and probably already closed a few deals or ran a side project that made money.

• Super smart and fast. You pick things up in hours, not weeks. New tool? Learned. New market? Researched. New objection? Handled.
• Some sales experience. You have done outreach, pitched, or sold something before - even if informally.
• Technical curiosity. You are not afraid of code, data, or automation. You want to learn how to ship, not just talk.
• Ambitious and hungry. You want to build something real at a company that is growing absurdly fast.
• First-principles thinker. You question assumptions and find better ways to do things instead of following templates blindly.

This role starts as a 2-month paid internship. Prove you can drive results and you convert to full-time as a core team member.

What You Will Get

• Founding-team exposure. Work side by side with the CEO and CTO from day one. Learn how a venture-backed startup scales.
• Real ownership. You will own outcomes, not tasks. Your work directly moves the revenue number.
• Competitive compensation. $1,200-$2,000/month base for a 25-hour weekly commitment, plus performance-based bonus. Full-time conversions receive stock options and core team member compensation.
• AI-first toolkit. We use AI across everything - outreach, campaign ops, analytics. You will learn tools most people will not touch for years.
• Speed. We went from zero to 1.2M ARR in 5 months. If you want to learn what hypergrowth actually feels like, this is it.
