Job Description

The Grammy’s. The FedEx Open. The BET Awards. Over 60,000 weddings. These are a few of the events that our customers have Curated. We’ve given small business owners around the globe hundreds of thousands of hours back to their families and business. And we’d like you to lead our team in St. Louis in finding more businesses to help more deeply.

It’s far from a bed of roses. Our goals are big, hairy, and aggressive...and we're needing someone excited to take on the challenge. We’re asking you to build a 7 figure company into an 8 figure company and to lead a team who has never done it before. We’ve built out some plays but you’re going to have to build out most of the processes you need to be successful. You’ll also have to be personally hands-on in some of the efforts until you can grow the team. You’re going to be expected to move quickly - we have a 6-day sales cycle. If something is failing, you’ll know next week. Based on what we need, you’re likely to have a background in marketing, and yet we’re asking you to own every dollar down to customer retention.

There is some good news. We have an exceptional product-market fit. We have a 6-day sales cycle and 54% of our demos close. So we need someone who views revenue as a science rather than an art. We’ve built a decent inbound strategy that you can build on top of. We also deal with a high quantity of SMB leads so we have a boatload of data that you can dig into and iterate on. You will be in charge of the revenue teams in the company and will be key to strategic growth. You will have a team that is ready to do the effort in implementing strategic, data-driven decisions.

Success:

This job is measured on net ARR generated. That’s it. No number of hours worked or best efforts. And if that clarity excites you, I’d like to chat with you. Curate is a software-as-a-service that supports event professionals in curating flawless events and we need you to lead the effort in finding more people we can help.

Benefits:

$200k comp package of cash and equity. Health and Dental Insurance contributions. Stock options. 401k available. Unlimited vacation / time-off.
