The Vice President of Sales will be responsible for:Building pipeline from the ground up
Personally leading and closing enterprise deals

Scaling the revenue function over time

Who This Role Is ForYou have personally closed $2M–$5M+ annually in complex enterprise deals
You have experience in manufacturing technology, industrial software, or consulting
You are comfortable selling into COO, VP Operations, Engineering, and IT stakeholders
You thrive in building from scratch—not just managing an existing team
You are equally comfortable in the boardroom and in the deal room
This Role Is Not For:Leaders who primarily manage teams but do not sell
Candidates who rely on large existing pipelines or SDR organizations
Executives seeking a purely strategic or oversight role
CompensationBase Salary: $160K–$190K
Target OTE: $250K–$300K
Significant upside through performance accelerators
