About us Humaans is building the next generation of infrastructure for the workplace; software designed for companies that are scaling fast, operating globally, and pushing into new boundaries. What started as a system of record has evolved into a broader platform for operating people globally. With Athena, our agentic AI layer, Humaans moves beyond data management into intelligent orchestration, connecting workflows across HR, IT, Finance, and Operations so organisations can act faster and with greater confidence, redefining how work gets done. We work with ambitious teams across Europe and the US, from AI-native companies like Lovable, Poolside, Fyxer AI, and Tandem Health, to established, high-growth organisations scaling internationally and through acquisition, including Quantexa, Sellpy, Manychat, Gigs, Croud, and Threecolts. These teams don’t buy software for features, they buy leverage. The ability to run faster, cleaner, and with more control as complexity compounds. To date, we’ve raised $20m in venture funding from some of the most respected founders, operators, and funds in technology.
The Role After proving our product and operating model internationally, we're now expanding into the US from San Francisco. This role is about bringing Athena AI Agents there first. As Founding GTM Lead, you will own Athena’s commercial momentum in America. You’ll close our largest and most meaningful US logos, define how Athena is positioned and sold in the enterprise, and set the standard for what “great” looks like as we scale. This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You will run deals end to end, work directly with founders and product, and help shape the future US sales organisation - from messaging and motion to hiring and culture. You won’t be inheriting a playbook. You’ll be writing it. And the decisions you make here will compound for years.
Who you are You have 8-10 years of B2B SaaS / Enterprise sales experience, ideally including early-stage or category-creating products. Proven track record closing $100k+ ARR deals with senior executives. Comfortable selling ambiguity and vision before the market fully understands the category. Strong commercial instincts paired with intellectual curiosity. Founder-energy: you think in systems, not just deals. You expect to run something bigger in the future, this role is part of that journey.
Why this role is special You’re not inheriting a territory, you’re creating one in a massive greenfield. You’ll shape Athena’s US narrative before the category hardens. Direct access to founders, product, and investors. Clear path toward Revenue Leadership role.
Package & Benefits Market-leading compensation. 25 days paid time off each year plus public holidays. Share Options with 5-year exercise window. Free Thursday lunches at HQ, quarterly team events, and company offsites. Top tier private coverage for health, vision and dental care. A new MacBook and tools you need to do your best work. Enhanced parental leave with up to 16 weeks for primary and 4 weeks for secondary. Learning & development budget.
