About The Position

Leland’s mission is to unlock human potential by making the world’s expertise more accessible.

Since our founding in 2021, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals, raised $19M from world-class investors, and built the industry leader in educational and career coaching.
Leland is hiring its first-ever Head of Sales to own, lead, and build our entire revenue organization, spanning both our B2B business and our consumer sales motion. This is a player-coach role: you will take demos and close deals with employers and universities, hire and train a team of B2B reps, and lead a consumer sales team selling coaching packages and bootcamps directly to individuals.
You will work directly with the leadership team to shape Leland's go-to-market strategy, and you will own the full revenue lifecycle: net new business, onboarding, renewals, and expansion.
This role is right for someone whose scope has grown at every stage of their career. You've been a top performer. You've built and led a team. You understand what great looks like from every seat in a sales org. You'll define how we sell, who we hire, and what winning looks like for years to come.

• Build and hire a high-performing sales team as business growth justifies expanding headcount
