Head of Inside Sales
At Glowforge, we help people bring home the future and make it their own. Our printer uses a laser to carve and engrave products from raw materials like wood, leather, acrylic – even cardboard. Take a look and see for yourself.
We build magical products to delight our customers, and we do it while taking care of each other. We hire people who are outstanding at what they do, who thrive in tight-knit teams, and who want to make things that make a difference.
Together, we've built a product we're incredibly proud of, and the reward has been incredible growth.
We work together because we believe in the power of creativity. We believe we can bring about a future where anyone can print anything.
We're a remote-first company - just let us know where you prefer to work from!
Why we need you
As the Head of Sales at Glowforge, your role is pivotal. You're not just leading a team, you're steering the ship of our revenue growth and customer expansion. You're the one translating the magic of our product into a compelling narrative that resonates with potential customers. Without your strategic vision, industry experience, and passion for our mission, we can't fully realize our goal of empowering creators everywhere. In short, without you, our vision of a world where anyone can print anything remains a dream. Your leadership makes it a reality.
