About the role
We’re hiring a quota-carrying Sales Leader (Contract) to accelerate revenue and we stand up an early GTM foundation. You’ll own a number personally and act as a player-coach: closing deals, helping new reps ramp, and creating tight feedback loops to Product and Leadership. Expected channels may include government, enterprise, and partners.
Responsibilities
- Revenue ownership: Carry a quota with clear channel ownership (government, enterprise, or partner accounts as assigned).
- Deal execution: Prospect, run cycles, negotiate, and close.
- Rep enablement: Make sure the two new hires have systems, tools, and playbooks to ramp quickly.
- Coaching and feedback: Provide ongoing coaching and bring market signals back to leadership.
- Systems and hygiene: Stand up reporting, pipeline discipline, and early forecasting.
- Iteration: Refine ICPs, messaging, and channel strategy based on active deals.
Success milestones
- Month 1: New reps set up, systems live, support in place.
- Month 2: Active field work and pipeline creation in assigned channels.
- Month 3+: Close initial deals, continue coaching, and formalize feedback loops.
Qualifications
- Proven quota-carrying success in B2B or channel motions.
- Experience building sales basics in an early or evolving GTM environment.
- History of closing complex deals (government or enterprise a plus).
- Able to coach while carrying an individual number.
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity and iterating quickly.
Contract terms
- Full-time hours during the engagement.
- Initial 6-month contract; may convert to full-time employment, be extended, or be ended by Chegg Skills with 30 days’ notice.
- Comp structure to balance stability and performance upside (to be finalized separately).
