Practise the Chief of Staff - Sales at Podium interview free →At Podium, we build an AI Workforce that helps local businesses turn every conversation into revenue. More than 60,000 businesses across Auto, Home Services, and Aesthetics trust Podium to drive growth 24/7, from capturing new leads to re-engaging past customers.
Two and a half years ago, we made a deliberate shift from building software for local businesses to building AI Employees that work for them. Every local business struggles to answer every call, lead, and follow-up. Our AI Operating System and AI Workforce fill that gap. We’ve crossed $150M in AI ARR, deployed more than 20,000 AI Employees, and helped customers generate over $13B in revenue.
Inc. Magazine named Podium the Best AI Implementation, OpenAI highlighted us for building AI Agents that drive revenue, and G2 ranked us the #1 AI Agent for Business Operations.
Podium is AI-native in every sense. We build AI for our customers, we build AI tools for ourselves, and we use AI in every role across the company.
We hire exceptional people, hold them to high standards, and give them room to make an impact. We look for people who are all-in on AI and eager to stay on the cutting edge, both in what we build for customers and in how they operate day to day. If you’re hungry for growth, aligned with our operating principles, and ready to get to work, you won’t find a better place to accelerate your career.
The Chief of Staff will report to and partner directly with the EVP, Revenue, focusing on our Revenue organization. You'll work closely with cross-functional leaders — including RevOps, Sales, and Marketing — to drive execution, alignment, and strategy across our most critical revenue and go-to-market initiatives.
This candidate will help operate key parts of the Revenue business and identify and lead high-impact initiatives. It is critical that the Chief of Staff is aligned to our operating principles. This individual must be able to work in a fast-changing, ambiguous environment. The Chief of Staff will amplify the effectiveness of the EVP and the rest of the Revenue leadership team.
What you will be doing:
- Work directly with the EVP and Revenue leadership to define GTM priorities, including pipeline, quota coverage, and headcount planning
- Partner closely with the EVP and cross-functional leaders (RevOps, Marketing, Product, Finance) to support execution and strategic alignment on top Revenue initiatives
- Help the EVP align revenue goals with company-wide objectives and drive cross-functional execution across Sales, Marketing, and RevOps
- Support the Revenue organization in prioritizing initiatives, managing operating cadences (weekly business reviews, forecast cycles, pipeline reviews), and ensuring follow-through on key decisions and action items
- Form an independent point of view on what is required to hit ACV/bookings targets. Work with Revenue leadership to identify gaps (coverage, conversion, capacity), define plans to close them, and drive execution
- Shape and manage the objectives and operating cadence of Revenue leadership team meetings — facilitating discussions on the right topics and managing follow-up on action items
- Lead and organize content creation for board materials, QBRs, and key documents related to revenue performance and strategy
- Track and impact pipeline, conversion, and attainment signals across verticals/segments, flagging risks and recommending corrective action
- Identify opportunities across the go-to-market org and lead high-impact strategic projects (e.g., comp design, forecasting infrastructure, competitive response)
What you should have:
The ideal candidate is someone with 3 - 7+ years of total experience, including experience in either revenue/sales operations, GTM strategy, business consulting (Bain, McKinsey, etc.), or as part of an internal strategy and/or operations team.
