The posting, as RevenueCat wrote it

RevenueCat gives app businesses the infrastructure and tools to build, run, and improve their monetization. Since graduating from YC's S18 batch, we've grown into the default monetization platform for mobile.

We're in 50%+ of newly shipped subscription apps, we process $16B+ in annual purchase volume, and we help everyone from a solo developer to the OpenAI mobile team understand and grow their revenue.

We're a remote-first team of 150+ people across 25+ countries, guided by values we actually practice: Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance.

This isn't the right fit for everyone. The systems you’ll build here manage billions of dollars and touch hundreds of millions of end users, and we don’t take that lightly. You'll be expected to work hard and hold a high bar for what you ship, alongside some of the sharpest, most driven people you've worked with. If that sounds energizing rather than exhausting, keep reading.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Head of Sales to build and lead the commercial system that converts RevenueCat's market position, product signals, and customer demand into dependable revenue, regardless of that revenue coming in the form of an immediate contract, a self-serve credit-swipe, or long-term expansion.

In the ‘app monetization platform’ category, RevenueCat currently has about a 90% marketshare, ranging from the biggest apps in the world (ChatGPT, Ladder, VSCO) to a long tail of 100,000+ indies and startups vying to make it big. We only power roughly 25% of in-app revenue, though: The majority of apps still tries to build this themselves. Your job will be to show them the error of their ways. Not (just) to close a deal, but because we truly, deeply believe we will help them make more money.

As the Head of Sales, you’ll lead the AE and Sales Engineering teams, bringing both teams together in a single, well-oiled machine. You’ll set the functional strategy, develop talent, own forecasting and results, and you’ll personally help move important opportunities forward without becoming the required manager or closer on every deal.

WHY WE ARE HIRING FOR THIS ROLE NOW

We have more opportunities than the current team can consistently identify, prioritize and pursue.

Our reputation and market position produce consistent touch points with the majority of potential prospects, without those touch points turning into economic opportunities. At the same time, we’re rapidly expanding into new markets and product areas that need more proactive sales support than we can deliver.

We need a leader who can make several motions work together without forcing them into one generic process:

Complex evaluations involving technical, business, security, legal, and procurement stakeholders.
Faster mid-market opportunities that require strong qualification and commercial momentum.
Self-exploration where customer behavior reveals an opportunity before a formal handraise.
Carefully researched outbound

[…]
t customer path.

Understand app infrastructure, payments, monetization, developer platforms, or another domain with meaningful implementation complexity.
Have built a productive Account Executive and Sales Engineering partnership.
Have experience with partner-sourced, international, or regional programs.
Have sold to buying groups spanning engineering, product, growth, finance, security, legal, and procurement.

WHAT WE OFFER

Competitive equity in a fast-growing, Series C startup backed by top-tier investors, including Y Combinator
10-year window to exercise vested equity options
A fully remote environment designed around autonomy and flexibility
4-5 weeks of flexible time off annually
Paid desk at a co-working space
Workspace budget and continuous learning stipend
