I lead the new business sales team at Hiver, an AI-native communication management platform. What I care about most is helping every rep on my team build a real understanding of who we sell to and the problems we actually solve for them, then giving them the confidence to handle whatever deal comes their way. My goal is simple: build a team that keeps getting better, not one that's just chasing this quarter's number.

I studied Computer Science, though these days you're more likely to find me deep in a pipeline review than a codebase. I've been at Hiver for almost eight years now, and I've basically grown up here. I started as an SDR, learned the ropes closing deals as an AE across every territory we sell into, and stepped into sales leadership in 2024.

I've made the cold calls, sat through the tough discovery calls, and lost deals I probably shouldn't have. I know exactly what it feels like to be on the other side of every conversation I have. 

We're not looking for a specific number of years closing deals or a particular quota attainment %. What we do look for is someone who's actively invested in getting better, reps who read, experiment, and treat their own game like something worth improving rather than something that just happens with time on the job.

I'd also love to see some comfort with AI tools. Not because we need you to be technical, but because the reps who lean into them are usually the ones already thinking about how to work smarter, not just harder.

Most of all, come with real stories. Tell me about an actual deal, what the account looked like, what almost went wrong, how you turned it around or what you learned when you didn't. Wins mean a lot more when we can see the work behind them.
