Founding Director of Sales

About the Role: We’re looking for our first dedicated sales hire to grow our venue network in NYC, help launch our second city, and build the foundation that will support a larger team. As we grow, you’ll have the opportunity to help lead that team. This is a hands-on, full-cycle role. You’ll own everything from prospecting, reaching decision-makers, and running demos, to closing new business and helping partners get live. You’ll build relationships with hospitality operators, understand where partyplace can create the most immediate value, and help each partner grow with us over time. You won’t be starting from scratch. We already have an established venue network, proven demand, and an active pipeline of bars, restaurants, and event spaces. Your job will be to turn that foundation into a repeatable system. You’ll work directly with the founders to refine our positioning, sales process, and go-to-market strategy. This role is ideal for someone who is excited to sell, build relationships, and create structure, not someone looking to inherit an established sales organization. About partyplacepartyplace is building the platform that helps bars and restaurants grow their group business, from reaching new customers to managing reservations directly through their own websites. For venues, we offer multiple ways to grow with us. Some partners start by reaching new customers through the partyplace marketplace, while others use our software to manage their direct reservations, payments, calendars, floor plans, and booking rules. Our goal is to solve each venue’s most immediate need, deliver measurable value, and expand the partnership over time. We’re making it easier for people to gather in real life, and we’re just getting started.
