About Zapier

We’re on a mission to make automation work for everyone.

As the leader in easy automation, Zapier empowers businesses to automate workflows and move data across 7,000+ apps. We work with what you work with, across your apps and tech stack, so you can make magic happen.

We’re at an interesting inflection point at Zapier. Automation and AI are reshaping how businesses operate, and we’re right in the middle of it. We’re looking for someone who wants to help drive that innovation, not just someone who wants to hit a number.

The role: you’ll be selling Zapier’s AI Orchestration platform to companies with up to 1,000 employees, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close.

Most of your pipeline will come from you. Cold outreach, turning a warm signal into a real conversation, finding the deal before it finds you, that's the job, and we need people who are built for that part, not just willing to do it.

Zapier's Mid-Market motion is early. We need architects, not order-takers. You won't inherit a playbook. You'll help write it

There's more than one path to this role

Likely you’ve been a top performer in SaaS sales (or consistently exceeding in mid-market, and you’re ready to step up) and can run a deal end-to-end, including prospecting. However, if you have a track record of tackling hard problems, hands-on experience with AI tools (not just familiarity), put customers first, and have a drive to make things happen you may also be a great fit for our team.

Either way, what separates a good candidate from a great one is proactive ownership, the ability to navigate ambiguity, strong stakeholder communication, cross-functional collaboration, and a genuine hunger to learn fast.

What We Are Looking For

You have 2-5 years of demonstrated success in selling horizontal SaaS solutions to multi-stakeholder or technical organizations across the mid-market levels, with a strong focus on automation, integrations, and enhancing tech stack efficiency.

Proven track record of success in closing software deals over and meeting or exceeding your sales quota

Strong understanding of APIs, integrations, and tools like Zapier, with the ability to explain their importance in modern tech ecosystems.

Demonstrated ability to discuss IT concerns, including security, scalability, compliance, and performance, in a credible and knowledgeable manner.

Excellent communication skills both with customers and within an organization

Ability to develop and navigate senior-level relationships quickly and effectively

You thrive in a state of ambiguity and are motivated by strong personal drive

You use AI in your work today, not occasionally, but as part of how you operate at a high level. You can point to workflows you’ve built, how your approach has evolved through iteration, and the impact on quality, efficiency, and experience while intentionally applying AI for the right outcomes, setting a high bar for outputs, and taking ownership of what ships.
