About GreenSpark
Greenspark is a venture-backed, Series A stage SaaS company backed by top tier VC investors with a vision to improve recycling rates and keep more metal out of landfills through powerful, easy-to-use software. Despite being a crucial part of the recycling ecosystem, the $120bn+ scrap metal industry has lacked intuitive, modern software for seamless management of metal transactions, inventory, and yard operations. GreenSpark is developing modern operations software for metal recyclers to help them follow the metal all the way through their yard, from point of purchase through to ultimate sale, all under one software roof.
Head of Sales Role:
As a Head of Sales, you will play a pivotal role in the growth of GreenSpark to new metal recyclers across North America. You will report to the CEO and hire, build, and coach a team of A+ Territory Account Executives / Business Development Reps, transforming how scrap yards operate. You will also be one of the major GTM leaders and contribute significantly to shaping GreenSpark's sales strategy and future. We have learned a lot already, but you will be granted a ton of autonomy to showcase your skills and develop an elite sales organization. This is a front-and-center position with incredible visibility across all areas of the company. You must balance advocating for your team while working collaboratively with your peers in onboarding, customer success, product development and finance.
Job Type: Full-time
Location: Remote / New York (travel required, but flexible)
