Apply to RoboflowWhat We're Looking For
We’re looking for people that can own a large set of problems and are motivated by the question, “How can I improve this?” Over 80% of our current team is a former founder and they love working at Roboflow because they get to work autonomously and build solutions from the ground up (but you don't have to be a former founder to thrive at Roboflow!). Roboflow is still early stage and each department runs a startup within itself that defines a problem, works with our customers, builds ideal solutions, and adapts quickly to changes.
What You’ll Do
To continue hitting our ambitious goals, you’ll own deals from start to finish. This includes collaborating with our SDRs to qualify inbound leads and strategically prospecting into target accounts. You’ll be managing multiple deals concurrently, navigating org structures, and helping alleviate our prospects’ pain by showing the possibility, value, and impact of computer vision with Roboflow.
We're a small team, so you’ll have a key hand in shaping the sales process. That includes an eagerness to identify what’s working, creating collateral to support the process, and iterating. You enjoy not only helping customers succeed but building processes.
-Identify and qualify leads (with our SDRs) and develop them into high-value opportunities.
-Build relationships with our prospects and customers, including executives in your accounts, to help understand their needs and simplify closing a deal.
-Close deals efficiently: Increasing our ACV and compressing our sales cycles.
-Prospect into new accounts and expand existing ones.
-Keep our CRM up to date (customer info, deal size, deal status), so we can forecast and improve our sales process.
-Work with technical stakeholders, including executives, to identify opportunities to accelerate the adoption of computer vision -in their business with Roboflow.
-Collaborate with the rest of our team (product, marketing) to identify new features and messaging to increase the value and use of Roboflow.
📅 Within one month, you will…
Spend the first week onboarding in person with your manager (you'll come to our NY or SF Hub!)
Start building a trusting relationship with your peers, and learning the company structure.
Ship a substantial new feature to an end user within your first week
