Traveler-Friendly Insight

This role is fully remote within the United States — Posit is a 100% distributed team, so there is no office requirement. However, the allowed_countries restriction means you must be based in the US, which limits pure nomadic flexibility compared to globally-open roles.

Schedule & Async Culture: Posit explicitly minimizes meetings and operates asynchronously where possible. For a sales leadership role, some overlap with US business hours is practically unavoidable (managing a team, joining customer calls), but the async-first culture is a genuine green flag for flexibility within US timezones (EST–PST range).

Location-specific perks for nomads:

  • $400/month coworking stipend — meaningful for nomads hopping between cities and using WeWork, Regus, or local coworking spaces.
  • $1,800 initial + $375/quarter Lifestyle Savings Account — can cover remote work equipment, co-working top-ups, or professional development.
  • 4+ weeks PTO + 15 holidays gives ample room for extended travel between work sprints.

Visa note: The E-Verify requirement confirms US work authorization is mandatory. Non-US citizens would need a valid work visa (H-1B, TN, O-1, etc.). Digital nomad visas in other countries are not applicable here.

Salary context: At $321k–$424k OTE, your purchasing power stretches enormously if you base yourself in lower cost-of-living US cities (Austin, Nashville, Raleigh) compared to San Francisco or New York — effectively giving you a "nomad arbitrage" within the US itself.

At Posit, our "Land and Expand" motion is our greatest engine for growth. This team is dedicated to uncovering new value within our largest existing customers, transitioning departmental users into enterprise-wide adopters of our professional data science platform. You will be the architect of our expansion playbook—defining how we move from a small cluster of R or Python users to a centralized, IT-blessed data science infrastructure.

What You'll Own:

  • The Expansion Playbook: Singularly responsible for formalizing the "Advocacy Bridge," value realization strategies, and the operational rigor required to turn product usage into business-critical infrastructure.
  • Team Performance & Mentorship: Lead, mentor, and professionalize a team of at least five Enterprise Account Managers (EAMs) in a high-growth SaaS environment.
  • Predictable Forecasting: Instill the rigor necessary to provide the CSO with a "no-surprises" forecast, balancing renewal risks with expansion upside.

What You'll Assist With:

  • High-Value Negotiations: Support the team in the trenches on deals exceeding $250k+, helping architect Enterprise License Agreements (ELAs).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the primary bridge between Sales, Customer Success, and Solutions Engineering to ensure technical health leads to commercial growth.
  • Global Account Mapping: Collaborate with EAMs to proactively hunt for the next 100+ seats within Global 2000 accounts.

What You'll Teach:

  • "Up and Out" Navigation: Teach sellers how to move from a technical user base to the CIO/CDO office.
  • SaaS Sales Math: Provide expertise in managing by the numbers and maintaining deep proficiency in Salesforce.
  • Land and Expand Mechanics: Share proven strategies for increasing Net Revenue Retention (NRR) year-over-year.

What You'll Learn:

  • Posit's PBC Values: Understand how to represent Posit's unique Public Benefit Corporation mission within a high-performance sales culture.
  • Technical Product Nuance: Deepen knowledge of the specific transition from R/Python clusters to centralized data science infrastructure.
