About the role

Pylon is a Series B, AI-native B2B company building the next generation of customer support.

Legacy platforms like Zendesk and Salesforce Service Cloud were built around tickets. Pylon is built around accounts, real-time collaboration, and AI-driven customer intelligence.

This is a massive market with incumbents that weren’t built for AI-first workflows.

  • Backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, Y Combinator

  • Partner closely with leadership to refine segmentation, quotas, and process

  • Lead deal reviews, pipeline inspection, forecasting, and performance management

  • Recruit AEs

Why now

We’ve built a strong AE bench and proven PMF. The next phase is scaling managers and process — this role helps turn what works today into a repeatable, high-performing sales org.

Requirements

  • 2+ years managing SaaS AEs

  • Experience scaling a team beyond the “early reps” phase

  • Strong coaching instincts and operational rigor

About Pylon

Post-covid, businesses have started shifting the way they communicate with customers from email to chat platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord. At Pylon, we are building a real-time customer operations platform to help support, success, and sales teams at places like Hightouch, Merge, and Sardine scalably meet their customers where they live.

Just like how Zendesk made email scalable in a support context, Mailchimp made email scalable in a marketing context, and Salesforce & Outreach made email scalable in a sales context, Pylon is making chat scalable across customer-facing functions.
