- Track 1 - Physical Products
- Track 2 - Rel.ai Agentic Software
What Makes This Role Exciting
- You're the first dedicated hire across both tracks - no legacy process to inherit and real influence over how both get built
- Reporting directly to the Founder/CEO with genuine visibility into company direction
- Selling a software product that doesn't exist anywhere else, to buyers who are actively looking for this kind of solution
- Physical product pipeline that's already proven at scale - you're not convincing buyers there's demand, you're converting it
- Defined path to Director and VP-level scope as the function scales; internal promotion is core to how Reli. operates
- AI-native from day one - the sales stack, outreach, prospecting, and analytics are built around what's actually possible in 2026, not retrofitted from a legacy process.
Key Responsibilities
Physical Product Sales
- Source and close B2B deals across Reli.'s physical catalog through outbound outreach, conferences, and network development
- Manage mid-market buyer relationships with office managers, procurement leads, warehouse buyers, and facility managers
- Build enterprise and big-box retail pipeline for Year 2 revenue (12-18 month cycles)
- Close inbound B2B opportunities from marketing and partner referrals
Rel.ai Software Sales
- Own the full commercial motion for Rel.ai from launch day one: outbound, demos, pricing, negotiation, close, and expansion
- Build the initial ICP, prospecting playbook, and demo narrative from scratch
- Sell to CTOs, VPs of eCommerce, and Founders at scaling eCommerce brands
- Feed weekly product signal back to the Rel.ai team based on what you're hearing in the field
Function Building
- CRM setup: source attribution, pipeline review structure, stage-gate criteria for both tracks
- Sales process documentation for physical products and Rel.ai - separately designed, since the motions are different
- KPI dashboard and AI-native tooling stack (research, prospecting, pipeline analytics)
Team Leadership
- Manage one direct report from day one; design their evolved role and comp in your first 60 days
- Design their evolved role and comp structure in your first 60 days

- Proven comfort running two distinct sales motions simultaneously - physical goods and software, or a similar split
- Real player-coach experience: personal quota + coaching and mentoring scope
- Comfortable building pipeline from scratch; cold outreach, conferences, network-building
- Systems thinker: you write SOPs naturally and treat CRM hygiene as part of the craft
- Thrives in ambiguity; does best work when the playbook is still being written
- Genuine, current knowledge of AI-native sales tools - not just familiarity, but actual use
- SaaS or early-stage software sales experience
- Physical goods, distribution, foodservice, hospitality, janitorial, or packaging B2B experience
- Retail channel or big-box buyer experience
- Early-stage or high-growth company background (50-200 employees)
