Why Numeric

Every business relies on accounting. Yet most software in the space was built in the early 2000s — clunky, slow, and far behind the curve on AI. Today, accountants are facing a growing, unsolved data problem as a consequence of complexity, data, and system fragmentation — and they lack the tools to solve it. The problems are real, hard, and increasingly urgent. But they're solvable.

Enter Numeric — the modern financial data platform for accounting and finance. Weaving together data, workflows, and AI-first solutions, we're empowering accounting teams to achieve verifiable, detailed financial data faster and make business decisions with greater confidence.

We have strong product market fit and a growing base of customers who love our product — including Anthropic, Plaid, Brex, Betterment, and many more. We're backed by top-tier investors including Menlo Ventures, IVP, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from some of the best companies in the world. In short, it's the perfect time to join.

About This Role

We're scaling the sales team and need a Sales Manager who can do more than run a clean territory. We need someone who makes the team around them better. In this role, you'll own a high-performing book of business, manage a team of experienced AEs, and serve as a peer mentor to other managers. You'll also be the person we trust to take our most complex deals and most senior reps.

Responsibilities

Build, hire, coach, and develop a team of experienced Account Executives, with a focus on both performance and career growth
Own and accurately forecast a multi-million dollar book of business; run a rigorous operating cadence that instills the same discipline across your team
Teach and implement a structured sales methodology — establishing shared frameworks, coaching reps to execute against them consistently, and rallying adoption across the broader team over time
Serve as a peer mentor to other managers, sharing your playbook and raising the collective ceiling of the management team
Work alongside other AEs and managers to close our most complex, high-stakes deals, leading by example rather than from the sideline
Diagnose organizational problems, propose solutions, and drive cross-functional programs through to execution and impact
Partner with Sales Leadership, Marketing, and Product to surface market intelligence and inform strategy
Maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene and hold your team to the same standard — owning the number end-to-end

Must-Haves

You have managed a team of multiple AEs for multiple years, and have opinions about how to run the programs — territory design, hiring profiles, coaching cadences, and performance management
You have implemented a sales methodology and know what it takes to actually get a team executing against a framework, not just trained on it. You can point to measurable improvements in forecast accuracy and deal quality that came from your system
You have a track record of managing up effectively. You've identified a problem, built the case, and driven a cross-functional initiative through to a real outcome rather than handed it off
You forecast multi-million dollar books of business accurately, and can speak in detail about how your operating cadence and methodology make that possible
You aspire to continue growing in management and you're energized by mentoring other leaders, not just individual contributors

You Could Be a Great Fit If

Your AEs describe you as someone who made them better, not just someone who held them accountable
You're as comfortable running executive-level conversations on a live deal as you are reviewing pipeline with your team
You have a builder's mentality — you're not looking for a polished machine to step into; you want to shape the machine
You treat forecasting as a discipline, not a guess — and you've built systems that make your team's forecast as reliable as yours
You've seen the early stages of a company scale and know how to operate with intensity and clarity when the org chart is still being drawn

Nice to Haves

Experience selling into or managing a team that sells into the office of the CFO or Controller
Familiarity with fintech or accounting software markets
Experience building or inheriting a team during a period of rapid headcount growth

How We Work

This role is in person in New York or SF (in office by default but with flexibility to manage your schedule as you see fit).

We strongly believe we will only be successful if everyone on the team is anchored in our following set of core principles:

Brick by Brick: To win, our team needs to show up and execute in each domain every day.
Love the Game: We focus on the craft and a deep sense of giving a f*ck. We're building a company full of people who are equally engaged and motivated.
SALY: We refuse to accept "Same As Last Year." For too long, accounting and finance systems have reflected outdated processes instead of reimagining what's possible. We're driven by a first-principles approach to building better solutions.
Own the Outcome: We own our results. We typically hire builders and give them large mandates with high-trust.
Earn the right: We're impatient to deliver results. We relentlessly iterate, measure, and improve. Every day is an opportunity to beat our prior best, raising the bar for the value we deliver to customers. E Pluribus Unum-eric.
