About the role

The North American Sales Director will be the first dedicated sales hire, responsible for building and executing a sales playbook, driving business development efforts, and advancing qualified opportunities through the sales funnel. This is a unique opportunity for a self-starter with a "pioneer" mindset, who thrives in ambiguity and is able to manage semi-autonomously from headquarters in EMEA.  Ideally based in the NYC area (other major metros are possible), this will be the first dedicated seller for DealSumm, helping extend our reach and improve our approach. The target candidate is a true pioneer, adept at independently running the end-to-end sales cycle and building sales processes to support long-term growth. This is a high-impact role that requires a blend of strategic thinking, tactical execution, and a passion for breaking new ground in the prop-tech market.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Work with leadership to define sales goals, territories, and strategies in alignment with company objectives.
  • Identify high-potential market segments and develop go-to-market plans to penetrate and expand within these areas.
  • Collaborate with leadership to refine value propositions and establish competitive positioning.

Sales Execution:

  • Build and manage a robust sales pipeline, from lead generation through deal closing.
  • Conduct outreach and develop relationships with key decision-makers in real estate companies, property managers, and other relevant stakeholders.
  • Deliver compelling pitches and presentations tailored to client needs, highlighting product benefits and ROI.

Process Development:

  • Develop and optimize sales materials, playbooks, and workflows to support scalable growth.
  • Provide input for marketing efforts to enhance lead generation strategies, campaigns, and materials.

Customer Success Collaboration:

  • Ensure seamless handoffs between sales and post-sales teams, focusing on delivering a best-in-class post-sale customer experience.
  • Gather client feedback to inform product development and improve the sales process.

Requirements:

  • 6-10 years of sales experience in a high-growth SaaS or proptech environment, ideally as part of a startup or early-phase company.
  • Demonstrated success in managing the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing, with a track record of exceeding quotas.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate autonomously and navigate ambiguity.
  • Strong understanding of the real estate industry and technology solutions tailored to the sector.
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
  • Adept with CRM (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) & customer success (e.g., Gainsight) tools.
  • Experience creating sales processes, materials, and tools from the ground up.
  • Willingness to travel as needed to meet clients and attend industry events.
  • Existing network within the real estate and property management sectors.
  • Experience with early-phase companies transitioning into scalable sales operations.

Key Competencies:

  • Customer-centric: Always acting in the customer’s best interest.
  • Tenacious: Unrelenting pursuit of individual and company goals.
  • Problem-solver: Able to address challenges and develop effective solutions.
  • Team player: Works well with cross-functional teams to ensure customer wins, success, and satisfaction.
  • Adaptable: Can thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.

  • Supplemental funding for health, dental, and vision benefits.

About the company

We bootstrapped, we pivoted, we established product-market-fit and are growing and profitable (yes, a profitable SaaS scale-up!). Now we need to accelerate that growth.  

Founded in 2015 by serial entrepreneur Dr. Assaf Morag (exits to McKesson HBOC & Oracle) and a UCLA-trained NLP/AI PhD, DealSumm was one of the first companies to apply Natural Language Processing and Generative AI to the Commercial Property industry.  Automating lease abstraction dramatically lowers the cost of administration for property owners and managers, while our data analytics platform uncovers insights that were previously unobtainable.  By actively identifying risk and opportunity within each, and across a portfolio of properties, DealSumm empowers its customers to simultaneously improve revenue and profit.

Under the leadership of CEO Gideon Morag, a software industry veteran (Software AG, NICE, Verint), DealSumm has achieved something rarely seen in any industry: 50% YoY growth, true profitability and all done with a small amount of funding from angel investors and founder-led sales. The company’s next step is transitioning to a professional Sales Team.  As our first sales hire, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving our growth and shaping the future of our go-to-market strategy.
