You'llwork directly with Revenue leadership and play a crucial role inestablishingAlias's presence in this new vertical. This position will be remote and based in the U.S.
We are looking for a salesperson who is not afraid to hunt.There is no existing pipeline— expect to generatethe large majority ofyour own pipeline in the early going.Leadership is more than willing to make many introductions to existing clients.Sales cycles favor speed and directness over complex demos and onboarding. Top performers will be salespeople who prioritize pipeline generation with daily and consistent outreach and treat the first year as market-building, not quota-harvesting. Top performers earn above average OTE.

True hunter mindset with the proven ability toidentifyand developnew salesopportunities and manage a pipeline with urgency, especially in a market with no existing brand awareness

2–7 years of full-cycle, quota-carrying B2B sales experience, ideally within CRA/background screening, HR tech, or a closely adjacent compliance-driven services category — base and OTE scale with experience (see Salary below)
