About the role

About OnaroAI agents are becoming a real line item — and finance teams can't see it.

Think "CloudHealth for AI spend."We're pre-revenue with product live, infrastructure built, and a qualified outbound list ready. You'd be our first sales hire, working directly with the founder — a 30-year infrastructure veteran and fractional Chief AI Officer.

The role: You'll own the revenue motion end to end:

Run outbound to CFOs, VPs of Finance, and Controllers from our existing 617-contact list, and build your own pipeline on top of itLead our diagnostic-first sales motion: free two-week Agent Spend Assessment → annual contract ($18K–$50K+ ACV)
Run discovery and assessment readouts with finance leaders; translate agent spend findings into business cases
Close our first 10 customers and document what works into a repeatable playbook
Own HubSpot end to end: pipeline hygiene, sequences, forecasting
Feed market signal back into product and positioning

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
