Head of Sales & Agency Partnerships

CRSS is hiring a Head of Sales & Agency Partnerships to build, lead, and manage a high-performing sales team that acquires and grows long-term marketing agency partnerships.

About the opportunity
Established marketing agencies can add a profitable service line through a wholesale partnership with CRSS, while CRSS handles fulfillment. You will own the sales organization that wins those partnerships and generates repeat project volume.

We need a leader with proven B2B sales experience who can recruit their own team, set the sales process, coach performance, and take responsibility for revenue. You should know how to turn cold conversations into signed agreements and lasting commercial relationships, and be able to demonstrate and coach that process yourself.

What you will own

• Recruit, build, train, and manage your sales team.
• Establish prospecting, cold calling, discovery, objection handling, negotiation, and closing processes aimed at agency owners and decision-makers.
• Set individual and team goals, review pipeline and conversion rates, coach execution, and maintain reliable revenue forecasts.
• Lead the acquisition of agency partnerships and help the team close business independently.
• Build partner relationships that generate repeat projects, retention, and account expansion.
• Structure and allocate the agreed team commission pool across your team.
• Take accountability for a team quota of $2.5 million in collected revenue during the 90-day performance audit.

The 90-day performance audit
The 90-day quota period begins once you have completed training, received the data and resources you need, and are sufficiently onboarded to represent CRSS confidently. You will then build and manage your team toward $2.5 million in collected revenue within that period.

Compensation

• This is a full-time employee role, initially commission-only during the performance audit.
• The commission rate, calculation basis, and team commission structure are negotiated individually and agreed before joining.
• After achieving the required quota, you qualify for a base salary of $15,000+ per month, with final terms agreed individually.
• Stock options are part of the opportunity; the amount, eligibility, and terms will be discussed later in the hiring process.

What you bring

• At least 2 years of B2B sales experience and a demonstrated record of independently generating and closing business.
• Proven experience recruiting, coaching, or leading a sales team, with clear evidence of results.
• A track record of turning cold outreach into long-term commercial relationships.
• Strong discovery, negotiation, objection handling, account management, and communication skills.
• The judgment and independence to build a sales operation without constant supervision.
• Experience selling to US businesses. Marketing agency, reseller, or channel-partnership experience is a bonus.

Location and eligibility
Fully remote, restricted to candidates already based in the United States. CRSS is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Candidates must be authorized to work in the US; visa sponsorship is not available.

How to apply
Describe a sales team you built or led, its size, and its results. Include your quota and attainment, collected revenue where available, typical deal size, sales cycle, and an example of a partnership that began with cold outreach and became repeat business. Explain how you would recruit and manage your team and approach the 90-day target. Do not include confidential customer information.
