The Opportunity
Atiom is an agentic performance platform dedicated to empowering the world’s 1.1 billion deskless employees. As we enter a phase of rapid scaling, we are seeking a Chief Revenue Officer who is as comfortable closing “Whale” accounts as they are architecting the systems that support them.This is a Strategic Builder-Closer role. Especially during the first year, you will lead from the front, dedicating approximately 40% of your time to hands-on sales and high-level negotiations. Your objective is to prove the execution playbooks personally before scaling the team and transitioning into a purely strategic leadership function.
Core Responsibilities
1. Strategic Sales Execution (Year 1 Priority)
- High-Value Closing: Directly lead the sales cycle for key “Whale” accounts, maintaining a 40% hands-on focus to deeply understand market objections and product-market fit.
- Executive Relationship Building: Act as the primary commercial face of Atiom for global enterprise partners, navigating complex, multi-stakeholder negotiations.
- Playbook Validation: Use personal sales cycles to refine the “Land and Expand” playbook, ensuring the strategy is grounded in real-world win-loss data.
2. Unified Revenue Strategy & Architecture
- Own the total revenue target and P&L for all commercial functions (Sales, Marketing, and Success).
- Define the structural hypotheses for a scalable revenue engine that treats account expansion as a continuous sales motion.
- Standardize the commercial “Signal” across the customer journey to ensure consistent value delivery to global clients.
3. Organizational Design & Pod Leadership
- Transition the commercial team into Vertical Industry Pods, integrating Sales Leads, SDRs, and Account Management into specialized market units.
- Refine the functional split between Account Management (Growth) and Customer Success (Stability) to maximize net revenue retention (NRR).
- Bridge the gap between personalized, high-touch lead generation and relationship-driven field sales.
4. Phased Scaling & Recruitment
- Phase 1 (Builder-Closer): Focus on immediate revenue capture and the restructuring of current success teams into commercial growth units.
- Phase 2 (Architect-Leader): As the team grows, scale back hands-on sales to focus on recruiting, mentoring, and expanding specialized “Hunter” units in new verticals.
Who You Are
- The Front-Line Obsessive: You are an elite closer who finds being in the “trenches” with the team essential for building a winning strategy. You don’t just delegate; you demonstrate.
- The Scaler: You have a proven track record of leading B2B SaaS organizations through significant growth transitions.
- The Architect: You understand how to build systems that minimize friction and maximize accountability. You see the organization as a product that needs to be engineered.
- The Strategist: You have deep experience in complex enterprise sales and the nuance of navigating global corporate hierarchies.
