Ultimate Asset · Brooklyn, New York
Founding Sales Lead (Player-Coach) - AI-Native Hotel Tech Start-up
c.$140–150k base x2 OTE ($280–300k) + equity (flex for the right candidate)
Based in Brooklyn, New York – in the office 4 days a week
Company
This company is building an AI-native operating system for independent hotels.
Hotels have historically run on large back-office teams and a patchwork of clunky, dated tech – this company automates as much of that work as possible.
They've started with everything around revenue optimisation – dynamic pricing, Google Ads and digital marketing – and their USPs fall into three categories:
Automation, not headcount - they're replacing work hotels currently pay agencies and marketing managers to do
Pay when you earn - outcome-based pricing, they only make money when the hotel does, which makes it a very easy yes
Almost no software competition - they're competing with agencies and labour, not other tech
Exciting Bits
$1m+ in revenue in their first 10 months - with the founder only selling c.5 hours a week
Targeting $3m by the end of Q1 next year and $8–10m by the end of 2027
Most deals close in one call
Lead flow isn't a problem - a 10% outbound reply rate, with half of those positive, and an SDR booking your meetings
Backed by a top-tier VC
A brand new founding seat - you'd build the sales org, the playbook and the team from scratch
The Role
Player-coach - carry your own number while building and leading the sales team
100% new business, selling to independent hotel owners and operators
Write the playbook - messaging, qualification, objection handling and handoff to Customer Success
Own pipeline, forecasting and the weekly operating rhythm
Hire, onboard and coach the AEs and GTM associates
The Requirements
High-growth start-up experience
- you've been part of a successful, fast-growing, tier-1 VC-backed start-up, ideally early on, doing what they're doing now
You can speak to small business owners
- you've sold to non-technical, owner-operator buyers (think indie hotel owners, restaurant owners, local businesses) with sales cycles of under a week
You've scaled a team
- first sales hire, team lead or player-coach, and you can show the improvement in your reps' numbers
Still want to sell yourself, and happy to do whatever it takes to hit the number
Highly engaging, personable and eloquent - owners buy from people they like
3–10 years in sales, consistently beating quota in a short-cycle, high-volume motion
Hospitality experience isn't needed, but any understanding of the business helps - from working in or selling into hotels or restaurants, to running an Airbnb
Not for you if your background is mainly six-figure enterprise deals with long sales cycles, no management or start up experience
