You will own a large book of growth and emerging accounts, running a true high-velocity, full-cycle motion. Our deals typically land between $10,000 and $50,000, which means volume, speed, and disciplined qualification matter more than long enterprise cycles. You'll close a high number of deals per year while building the expansion plays that grow initial purchases into larger, repeatable revenue.
OpenArt is an AI Creative Platform used by millions worldwide. You'll help creative teams buy OpenArt's business platform to supercharge their image and video output. You'll sell into marketing, creative, and design teams at agencies, major corporations, and media companies — many of whom who already love the product.

Grow deal size over time through committed-volume and use-case expansion plays that turn $10k starts into $50k+ repeatable motions
Turn product signals — usage spikes, team signups, credit consumption — into qualified pipeline
Partner with your pod's Customer Success Manager to make sure new customers hit consumption targets and your held-back commission unlocks
Feed learnings from the front line back into packaging, pricing, and product
What You'll Need
3+ years of full-cycle closing experience in SaaS or AI, with a quota record above 100%
Velocity evidence: 20+ closed deals per year, multi-channel prospecting, and disciplined qualification

Coachability with a track record: be ready to name the coaching that changed your numbers
