About the Role
We are seeking a high-impact Sales Manager to lead, scale, and operationalize our rapidly growing commercial sales team. As Alchemy’s sales team quickly expands, you will manage an initial pod of AEs, as well as partner with leadership to grow your team.
This is a hands-on leadership role focused on high-velocity execution, structured coaching, repeatable process, and cross-functional alignment. You will build the operating system that drives consistent quota performance, while partnering with Product, RevOps, Marketing, and Enablement to execute key sales initiatives.
If you thrive in fast-moving environments, build systems that scale, and elevate reps through clarity, accountability, and coaching, this role is for you. This role is very much building a startup within a startup - you will be taking a first principles approach building many processes 0-1.
