This is the right seat for closers who want an unlimited ceiling, are hungry to make money, and can operate independently in a fast-moving startup environment. The AE who closed Warp's largest seat deal last month brought in $1.2M ARR on a $70K monthly quota. There is no segment lock; you can sell to gas stations or to enterprises. Reps who hit quota typically work around 9 hours a day. 5 of 6 current AEs are at or above quota.
What You'll Own
-
Run full-cycle sales: outbound prospecting → discovery → demo → close → handoff to customer success
-
Self-source 30% of your pipeline through outbound. Non-negotiable structural requirement.
-
Hit a $70K monthly ARR quota with accelerators above target (1.25x at 100-120%, 1.5x at 120-140%, 2x above 140%)
-
Build your own decks and figure things out. The team does not have a sales engineer, and Warp is still a startup with processes that flex weekly
-
Maintain and log all sales touchpoints in CRM
-
Collaborate with SDRs, marketing, and product to create a smooth buying experience. You will be matched 1:1 with an SDR
-
Travel only if you want to; it is not a requirement of the role
Requirements
Must Have:
-
8+ months of full-cycle closing experience. Sweet spot: 2-3 years. Cap around 5 years.
-
Comfortable self-sourcing 30% of your own pipeline through outbound. Non-negotiable.
-
Hungry to make money. The accelerators only matter if you push past 100% attainment.
-
Independent operator who builds decks, figures out CRM, and adapts without process or sales engineering support.
-
Strong written and verbal communication. Comfort moving fast through full cycles.
-
Based in NYC or willing to relocate. 5 days in the Flatiron office.
-
Top 5% performer at current or recent company. The current AE bench was hired on this signal.
-
Prior SDR or BDR experience carrying a prospecting quota before moving into a full-cycle closing seat. Candidates who stepped directly into a closing role without owning top-of-funnel are not a fit for this search.
Nice-to-Have:
-
Fast sales cycle background
-
Payroll, compliance, fintech, or HR tech product experience
-
Startup sales experience (Series A-C)
-
Experience selling SMB through enterprise without segment lock
