Senior Sales Manager

Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.

Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.

Grow With Us

We are building out a territory sales motion (similar to Toast’s field sales motion) as we plan to sell into restaurants throughout the country. We are targeted at restaurants in the SMB/MM space that are <30 locations (or <500 employees) and are rapidly gaining traction.  

We currently have 4 AEs on the team, and the co-founder/CEO is acting as the interim Sales Manager/Leader, while we look for the right sales leader to come in and partner with him & take over the sales team.  We have plans to scale up the team from 4 to 10+ AEs in the next 6-12 months, and if things continue to progress, we will scale the team nationwide.  Our AEs are closing around 4-6 deals per month at the moment.  

We have figured out the early GTM motion with strong traction across outbound prospecting (in-person field sales, calling, email and more), in partnership with marketing/inbound (hosted events, local associations, etc) and are looking for the right Sales Manager/Leader to help to scale it. 

As a Senior Sales Manager, this will be an entrepreneurial role that will be like part of a Seed/Series A motion as part of a bigger team as we try to figure out the motion closely with the founders and early teammates. There will be a lot of cross-functional work working closely with marketing, partnership, sales ops and more and is an incredible opportunity for the right candidate looking to bring your career to the next step!
