Manager, New Business Sales

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is transitioning from ‘start-up’ to ‘scale-up’. The AMER region currently accounts for a significant portion of our user base and global revenues. We are looking for an exceptional Sales leader to help scale us to the next level. Given the strong subscription and usage based revenue model, building out our sales program is a vital part of our long term growth strategy.
