Founding GTM Manager

Stockholm·Full-time

Why this role exists. Stilla has a product that customers love and a growing base of teams who adopt it bottom-up. This role bridges product-led growth and strategic sales to capture the rapidly growing interest of enterprise customers.

What you’ll own. From first conversation to signed contract — you run the full sales cycle for mid-market and enterprise accounts.

Responsibilities

  • Full-cycle sales. Own the entire journey from prospecting through discovery, demo, negotiation, and close.
  • Pipeline generation. Source and qualify your own opportunities
  • Strategic selling. Map org charts, build multi-threaded relationships with C-level and VP buyers, and craft proposals that connect Stilla to their real business problems
  • Cross-functional collaboration. Partner with the rest of the team to shape positioning, refine messaging, and feed customer insights back into the roadmap
  • Demo & solutions engineering. As a founding GTM hire, you own the demo as well. Run live product walkthroughs, build custom demo environments, handle technical questions, and design implementation plans
  • Solution design. Understand how Stilla fits into a company’s existing workflows and tooling. Tailor the pitch to show concrete ROI
  • Contracting & deal ops. Draft and negotiate contracts, manage redlines, coordinate legal reviews, and keep CRM data pristine. You maintain your own pipeline hygiene: stages, notes, next steps, forecast accuracy
  • AI-powered workflows. Use AI tools on a daily basis to automate as much as possible of the above

You’ll thrive in this role if below resonates

  • 4+ years in B2B SaaS sales, strategy consulting, investment banking, or a similar high-velocity environment
  • Proven track record of exceeding quota in a fast-paced, high-growth setting
  • Can hold a room with a C and VP-level person, and debug a workflow with a product manager — in the same day
  • Exceptional communicator, written and verbal
  • First-principles thinker who rolls up their sleeves. You don’t wait for playbooks — you write them
  • Obsessed with AI and how it’s reshaping how teams work. You’re using the products, not just reading the press releases
  • Loves the sales craft, but believe you can own more tasks than what a traditional AE role offers — e.g. demos

This role is probably not for you if you

  • Rather rely on Solution Engineers for demos, and BDR/SDRs for pipeline generation
  • Are looking for an immediate manager role as a next step in your career
  • Don’t believe that the best thing you can do for your career is becoming AI fluent immediately

What you get

  • Founding team member of a company with exceptional product-market fit
  • Selling an AI product in arguably the hottest startup category right now
  • Direct access to CEO and co-founder
  • A very experienced team who’s done it before — each team member is either an ex-founder, staff/principal engineer or a founding team member of a previous startup
  • Backed by top tier investors including General Catalyst ($5M pre-seed). Based in our Stockholm office
  • Equity in a company where the hard part (building the product) is done. The fun part (scaling it) is yours
