About Indee

Indee is the leading content security, distribution, and awards-delivery platform for the global film and television industry. Our customers include the world’s largest studios, streamers, and awards organizations, who rely on Indee to securely deliver high-value content for awards campaigns, guild submissions, internal screening, and platform integrations.
Indee has reached a market-leading position with happy customers and strong organic growth, driven by product quality, trust, and long-standing customer relationships. The company operates with intentionally lean commercial resources and is now hiring its first dedicated Head of Sales.

Role Overview

Indee is seeking a Los Angeles based senior, industry-credible Head of Sales to directly own revenue growth across studios, streamers, and strategic partners.
This role is fundamentally a hands-on, quota-carrying position. The Head of Sales is expected to personally originate, manage, and close deals, while shaping Indee’s go-to-market approach through direct customer engagement and collaboration with internal stakeholders.
Indee has grown primarily through strong product-market fit, customer referrals, and founder-led sales efforts, operating with lean sales and marketing capacity. There is no large outbound engine, no SDR team, and limited centralized marketing support. The successful candidate will thrive in an environment where they are empowered to identify gaps, design solutions, and help build the resources required to scale.

Over time, this role may evolve into a player-coach leadership position, but team management responsibilities will be added only after the individual demonstrates both:
● Consistent success in enterprise selling
● The judgment and ability to develop others effectively.
● Effectiveness in influencing marketing and product direction.

This role is not intended for candidates seeking a fully built sales organization or a narrow execution-only mandate.

Key Responsibilities

● Personally own enterprise revenue growth across North American studios, streamers, and strategic customers
● Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from initial engagement through close
● Serve as the primary commercial owner for Indee’s most important customer relationships
● Drive account expansion through:
○ New and existing product and use-cases (FYC, Guilds, Screeners, API)
○ Minimum commitments
○ Multi-year and strategic agreements


New Logo Development
● Originate and close high-value new studio and partner relationships
● Leverage industry relationships, referrals, and ecosystem credibility rather than high-volume outbound efforts


Commercial & Go-To-Market Development
● Partner closely with the CEO to shape:
○ Pricing and packaging strategy
○ Minimum commitment frameworks
○ Deal structuring and negotiation
● Help design and implement foundational sales infrastructure, including:
○ Sales process and discipline

○ Account planning and expansion methodology
● Identify where lightweight marketing, enablement, or tooling can materially improve sales effectiveness


Cross-Functional Leadership
● Work closely with Product, Customer Success, future Marketing staff, and the CEO to align customer needs with roadmap priorities

You Will Love This Role If:

● You enjoy personally owning and closing complex enterprise deals, not inheriting a large team or machine

● You thrive in lean, high-trust environments where impact matters more than headcount

● You think like an intrapreneur — spotting gaps, building solutions, and creating leverage

● You prefer high-value, strategic selling over high-velocity SaaS motions

● You want to work directly with a founder and CEO on pricing, deal structure, and go-to-market strategy

● You believe leadership responsibility should be earned through results, not assumed by title

● You are comfortable operating without heavy marketing or SDR support — and helping design what’s needed

● You want to help build a sales function deliberately and durably, not fast and fragile

● You expect to remain personally involved in selling even as the organization grows

Ideal Background & Experience Required

● 10+ years of enterprise sales experience

● Proven ability to personally close $250K–$1M+ ACV deals

● Experience selling into complex, relationship-driven organizations

● Comfort selling across business, technical, and security stakeholders

● Intellectual curiosity. Strongly Preferred

● Deep familiarity with one or more of:

○  Film & TV studios

○  Streaming platforms

○  Awards organizations

○  Media technology, content security, or digital distribution

● Experience building or shaping sales motions from first principles.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
