This role sits at the intersection of sales, marketing, and industry expertise—fueling the top of the funnel and opening doors with some of the world’s leading organizations.

  • Prospect into target accounts — through tailored outreach (calls, emails, and social selling).
  • Qualify opportunities by uncovering customer needs, challenges, and current workforce competency approaches — and map those to Kahuna’s solutions.
  • Collaborate with Sales & Marketing to develop messaging, campaigns, and industry-specific value propositions that resonate with key personas
  • Track, measure, and report on lead quality, conversion rates, and campaign impact to ensure a healthy, high-performing pipeline.
  • Represent Kahuna at key industry events

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–5 years of experience in software sales development, business development, or B2B sales.
  • Strong communicator who can build trust quickly with technical and executive stakeholders.
  • Driven and resilient self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and consistently meets or exceeds targets.
  • BA/BS degree and a passion for technology, digital transformation, and workforce enablement.
  • Organized, curious, and coachable — eager to grow into a sales or account executive role within a scaling SaaS organization.

Joining Kahuna means:
