About The Position

Gesture is scaling aggressively and requires a builder-first revenue leader, and we are hiring a Director of Sales & Corporate Partnerships. This role is not for career sales managers, strategy-only operators, or anyone looking for a comfortable leadership title. The Director of Sales & Corporate Partnerships is responsible for all revenue generation across Reach360 (B2B), the Gesture consumer mobile app (C2C), and proprietary AI monetization . This role explicitly combines a leadership based role with a hands-on deal execution . This is not a corporate management role. The DOR is expected to be in the trenches —prospecting, pitching, negotiating, closing, and managing key accounts—while simultaneously building the revenue systems, team, and strategy required to scale Gesture to new heights and goals in the next 24–36 months. This is a hands-on, builder-first, high-accountability role . If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn’t, this is not your seat. You will personally own revenue across: Reach360 (B2B enterprise) Gesture’s consumer mobile app (C2C) Our proprietary AI monetization (launching soon) You will be prospecting, pitching, negotiating, and closing deals yourself —especially enterprise and strategic opportunities—while simultaneously building the revenue engine that scales the company over the next 24–36 months. You are expected to operate in the trenches , not manage from a distance. Let’s be clear: This is not a “manage a sales team and report numbers” job This is not a strategy-only corporate development role This is not a VP title with minimal execution This is not a role for people who need heavy process, large teams, or perfect conditions to perform If you haven’t closed real deals yourself in the last few years, this will be painful.
