Company Overview:

Gratia is a tech-enabled superanalysts platform that provides on-demand, pre-vetted analysts to clients, and apprenticeship-as-a-service to analysts.

On the analyst side, Gratia is building a scalable, platform-based training ecosystem to level the playing field, allowing analysts to win opportunities based on capability and performance — not pedigree.

  • Run discovery calls to understand client needs and position Gratia as the go-to solution for project-based staffing or long-term analyst needs.

Client Acquisition & Relationship Management:

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to prospective clients, guiding them in defining analyst needs.
  • Manage client relationships through onboarding and early engagement.
  • Identify and pursue upsell and expansion opportunities.
  • Use client feedback to improve service delivery and inform analyst training needs.

Analytics & Data Tracking:

  • Own and report on outbound KPIs such as meetings booked, SQLs, and pipeline velocity.
  • Continuously test messaging, outreach timing, and targeting strategies.
  • Share learnings with the broader team to drive alignment and performance improvements.

Experience & Attributes:

Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience in sales, business development, or growth — ideally within early-stage startups, talent platforms, or staffing/recruiting services.
  • Proven success selling staffing or professional services.
  • Experience building outbound sales systems from scratch.
  • Familiarity with tools like HubSpot, Apollo, Clay, or similar platforms.
  • Background in top-tier consulting (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, BCG) is a strong plus.

Attributes

  • Data-driven, analytical thinker with a focus on performance optimization.
  • Strong communicator with excellent relationship-building skills.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth, ambiguous environment.

Compensation:
