What do you guys think of a Sales Strategy Manager at a Series D AI software company valued at $800M (top investors, well funded, 100%+YoY growth, large market).

I’m 25M 3.5 YOE and don’t know if I want to be in “Sales”. I’ll be the only person in the company with a “strategy” title, and would hopefully parlay it into a Corp Dev // Chief of Staff role down the line.

Thoughts on the role, trajectory, and potential comp?

That’s sounds like an attractive venture to join at this stage. But you’d have to be committed to doing the job function - they’re hiring for a role because there’s a need. If you feel you can commit at least two years to how the role was described, and stay engaged - I’d say it’s a go.

Any idea on comp?

Go for it. Sales & GTM strategy and ops can be quite interesting

SA1 - I knew of the company and had been following them for a while waiting for the right role to pop up

It’s one of the companies on the following list:
