  About Panoptyc
  
  Panoptyc is the AI platform that helps 20,000+ retail stores detect and deter theft in real time. Our vision is to make loss prevention intelligent, proactive, and profitable. We're rapidly expanding from our core market of corporate food service into grocery, c-stores, and broader retail verticals.
  
  The Opportunity:
  
  Help us scale from where we are today to $150M ARR over the next 5 years. This could be the defining achievement of your career.
  
  We're title-flexible and care more about fit than labels. We'd love a Director of Sales from a best-in-class company, or a VP ready to roll up their sleeves. What matters: you're the best sales leader your former colleagues have ever worked with.
  
  This is a player-coach role for someone who can close enterprise and mid-market deals themselves while building and leading a high-performing team. You'll own Panoptyc's core revenue engine-from strategy to execution-across our AI software + hardware product line through direct and channel sales.
  
  You'll work closely with the Founder and C-Suite to:
  
  • Strengthen distribution partnerships with national and strategic accounts
  • Build repeatable, data-driven sales processes in an environment that's sometimes ambiguous and still building infrastructure
  • Lead, coach, and hire a team of full-cycle sales reps, account managers, and SDRs
  • Own and close key deals yourself-you're in the trenches with your team
  • Expand into adjacent retail verticals (grocery, c-stores, apparel, dining)
  • Drive customer success and expansion-we've landed accounts and need to grow them
  What Makes You the Right Fit
  The Must-Haves
  
  • 8+ years in SaaS/technology sales, with experience leading teams (ideally 10-20+ people)
  • Proven track record building or scaling sales teams to $20M+ ARR with 75%+ YoY growth
  • Significant experience closing 6 and 7-figure ARR deals in enterprise and mid-market segments
  • Player-coach mentality - you can sell and lead simultaneously
  • Creative deal-maker - you unblock stuck deals and move the unmovable through creative problem-solving and relentless follow-through
  • Travel ready - minimum 3x per month to close deals, support the team, and build relationships
  • Immediate availability - we need you there tomorrow (flexible on contract-to-hire to start)
  The Personality
  
  You're hungry, obsessed, and on a steep growth trajectory.
  
  • Motivational and charismatic - people want to run through walls for you (likely a high D/I on DISC)
  • Opinionated about customer success - you know retention and expansion are where real revenue is built
  • Competitive and driven - you work hard, including occasional Saturdays when deals demand it
  • A believer in equity - you understand startup upside and want meaningful ownership in a rocket ship
  Nice-to-Haves
  
  • Experience selling into retail, foodservice, or distribution channels
  • Track record of creating or taking a customer success motion to the next level
  • "Best sales person" I've ever worked with" references
  • EOS
