What will you be doing?
 

TLDR: You’ll be responsible for managing the full zeroheight sales cycle – responding to inbound inquiries, qualifying leads, doing demos, managing the sales pipeline, handling any procurement tasks and hitting sales targets. Our sales are relatively low touch on the demo side so most of the work is lead qualifying, pipeline management, procurement and sales ops.

​

Handling inbound inquiries
 

Most of our leads are currently inbound. You'll be the first point of contact for any customers inquiring about our Enterprise plan and be responsible for answering their questions and qualifying them (mostly over email).
 

Demos
 

You'll have calls with qualified leads to understand their challenges, give demos, articulate our roadmap, answer questions and write up notes on each customer.
 

Pipeline management
 

You'll be responsible for tracking and updating the Enterprise customer pipeline and following up with customers at regular intervals to push deals along.

​

Procurement
 

This is currently one of the most time-consuming aspects of our sales process. You'll liaise with champions, procurement departments as well as our internal team to get deals through procurement (proposals, legals, security, finance etc.) as quickly as possible.
 

Sales operations
 

You'll keep track of sales metrics and look for opportunities to shorten our sales cycle and improve our sales toolkit and processes. You'll also ensure good communication between sales and the rest of the team.
 

Outbound lead gen
 

Although most of our leads are currently organic inbound leads, in order to hit our sales targets you'll likely need to start experimenting with outbound and hire an SDR to take over if the experiments pay off.

🌮  We eat lunch together (again, during normal times!)
 

😂  We're pretty light-hearted and don't take ourselves very seriously (we still do this despite being remote)
 

😴  We avoid long and/or unnecessary meetings and we value asynchronous communication and uninterrupted periods of deep work to get things done

About zeroheight

 

There is a fundamental shift in the UX industry towards using Design Systems to build products. Design Systems are systems of reusable UX components that allow companies to create and ship user interfaces more efficiently than ever before. All the design-driven companies have one, and we believe that in the future every company will.
 

But there's a problem: most companies don't have the resources to do it all themselves. This is where zeroheight comes in 🚀  We make it possible for any company in the world to have the same quality of Design System tools that companies like Facebook and Google have.
