What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Sales position at Vapi?
Company Overview
Apple Intelligence and Google Gemini are about to onboard 4 billion people to voice assistants that actually talk like people. This marks a new beginning for voice as the world’s default interface. We will all want voice everywhere. Businesses are not ready. Products are not ready.
We’re building the infrastructure that helps developers close the gap between the raw model and voice AI in production. Give it a try here.
We launched in March, scaled revenue, and raised a Series A from a top-tier firm this past week. We’re a small team of 17 and growing. We're building out the founding team in-person in SF to scale what’s working.
Mission
The Founding Sales will take on the entire Enterprise sales function, transitioning from founder-led sales (closed multiple millions). It will involve everything from both inbound and outbound prospecting of VPs, explaining our technical product on discovery calls, pilot scoping, commercial review, to signing the deal. You’ll also be a foundational part of how we build the culture at Vapi.
Commission: 20%, uncapped, we love writing commission checks.
