Head of Sales
Acelynt is hiring its first Head of Sales.
About Acelynt
Acelynt shows CEOs what’s slowing their company down and what to do about it. We work with PE-backed and growth-stage companies and the PE firms that own them.
You’re selling a proven product. CEOs of PE-backed companies have run it and gone on record about the results.
The role
You sell to CEOs, CHROs and PE partners. We’ve done the targeting and prospecting. More than 600 executives have engaged with our outreach, and that list is where you start. You turn those prospects into meetings and close them.
Selling into PE is a multi-unit sale. Once a firm signs, you sell into the companies it owns.
Uncapped commission. Our focus is growth. Remote in the US.
What you’ll do
- Turn engaged prospects into meetings with CEOs, CHROs and PE firms, then close them.
- Map each PE client’s portfolio and run the deals company by company.
- Sell PExcelerate, our PE leadership training, to the same CEOs and PE firms.
- Build the sales playbook.
- Feed what you learn from buyers back into the product.
What you need
- 10+ years selling advisory, research, consulting or SaaS.
- Experience closing CEOs and CHROs.
- A record of hitting quota.
- Nice to have: a Gartner or CEB background, or a PE network.
Pay
- 25% commission on new deals
- Commission on renewals
- Possible future equity
“Acelynt helped us turn a leadership transition into an opportunity to reset and accelerate. It gave us a clear view of where we were strong, where we needed to improve, and—most importantly—where we needed to align. It helped turn that alignment into action, shaping new ways of working and a sharper execution framework to accelerate growth.”
“As a new CEO, Acelynt gave me a fast, clear read on the strengths and weaknesses of the business, including important issues that could have held us back. More importantly, it moved us quickly past debate to a solution mindset and is driving alignment around a few crucial priorities.”
