About Nowadays

We’re building the future of in-person connection—from intimate exec offsites to conference-scale company retreats. Nowadays is the first AI-powered platform for planning corporate events. Our software handles everything from venue sourcing to vendor negotiations, making it dramatically faster and easier for teams to meet IRL. We’ve planned events around the world for companies like Google, Amazon, and Quantstamp—and we’re just getting started.

Our mission is simple: make it easier for teams to create meaningful moments together.

What You’ll Do (Founding AE)
  • Own the full sales cycle from first conversation to close
  • Partner closely with the founders on early GTM strategy and messaging
  • Sell to event marketers, people teams, EAs, and agencies
  • Run discovery calls, demos, and pricing conversations confidently
  • Build and refine our sales playbook, pipeline, and CRM workflows
  • Bring customer feedback directly into product decisions
  • Help define what “great sales” looks like at Nowadays from day one
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience closing deals in B2B SaaS (SMB → mid‑market ideal)
  • Comfort selling a product that’s still evolving
  • Strong product intuition and ability to tailor messaging by persona
  • Scrappy, proactive, and excited by ambiguity
  • Relationship‑driven—genuinely want customers to succeed
  • Motivated to be early and shape the motion, not just execute
Bonus Points
  • Experience selling to event, marketing, HR, or ops teams
  • Zero‑to‑one startup sales experience
  • Comfort with pricing and negotiation
  • Experience working closely with product and engineering
