Head of Sequencing, Sales
About Nooks.ai: Nooks is an applied AI lab building the Agent Workspace for GTM. We design AI agents that operate across the full sales action set, from account strategy to prospect research and outreach. Building 0→1 has never been easier, but selling at the speed of the market remains the last frontier for AI. Our mission is to 10x every seller by automating the busywork so they can focus on what humans do best: closing deals. Today, over 1,500 customers run on Nooks, including Notion, HubSpot, Cursor, and Rippling. We’ve raised $70M+ from top VCs like Kleiner Perkins, which made its first sales-tech investment in over a decade with us. Since then, we’ve tripled ARR each year for 3 years running and grown a high-caliber team turning the art of sales into a scalable science.
About the Role
Nooks is looking for its first dedicated Sales Leader to own and scale our Sequencing product upsell motion within our existing customer base. This is an exciting opportunity to build a startup within Nooks. This is a front-line leadership role: you will inherit a team of 3 AEs and be responsible for growing it to 8 by end of year, while building the repeatable playbook that gets us there. The team has built v0 and v1 of this motion from scratch, taking it from $0 to $xM ARR. Your job is to take it from proven to scalable. You will report directly to the VP of Sales and partner closely with sales, cs, and EPD to build a motion that compounds. What You Will Own Team leadership: hire, onboard, coach, and develop upsell AEs from 2 to 8 reps by end of year Playbook execution: refine and document the upsell sales motion for the Sequencing product; train the team and iterate based on data Build process to help track the function looking at both leading and lagging indicators of success Pipeline & forecast: own team ARR targets, call pipeline weekly, and report accurately to senior leadership Cross-functional partnerships: CS: align with Sandy and the CS team on account handoffs, health signals, and expansion timing Product: partner with Rohan to channel customer and field feedback; actively shape the roadmap conversation Deal quality: review non-standard deals, uphold pricing guardrails, and keep revenue clean Recruiting: actively pipeline upsell AE talent as the team scales What We Are Looking For 10+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, including 5+ years managing AEs or post sales teams Excellent coach for reps and willing to co-sell on large accounts to ensure team performance Demonstrated success in upsell, expansion, or land-and-expand motions — not just new logo Strong coaching instinct: you raise rep performance through structured observation, feedback loops, and development plans Cross-functional fluency: you naturally partner with CS and Product without being pushed Data-driven: you use metrics to diagnose problems, not just report outcomes Builder mindset: you have operated without a fully baked playbook and thrived.
