    About this role

    AI at Zapier

    At Zapier, we build and use automation every day to make work more efficient, creative, and human. So if you’re using AI tools while applying here - that’s great! We just ask that you use them responsibly and transparently.

    Check out our guidance on How to Collaborate with AI During Zapier’s Hiring Process, including how to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or others during our hiring process - and when not to. About Zapier We’re on a mission to make automation work for everyone. As the leader in easy automation, Zapier empowers businesses to automate workflows and move data across 7,000+ apps. We work with

    what you work with, across your apps and tech stack, so you can make magic happen. We’re at an interesting inflection point at Zapier. Automation and AI are reshaping how businesses operate, and we’re right in the middle of it. We’re looking for someone who wants to help drive that innovation, not just someone who wants to hit a number.

    The role: you’ll be selling Zapier’s AI Orchestration platform to companies with up to 1,000 employees, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close. Most of your pipeline will come from you. Cold outreach, turning a warm signal into a real conversation, finding the deal before it finds you, that's the job, and we need people who are built for that part, not just willing to do it.

    Zapier's Mid-Market motion is early. We need architects, not order-takers. You won't inherit a playbook. You'll help write it There's more than one path to this role Likely you’ve been a top performer in SaaS sales (or consistently exceeding in mid-market, and you’re ready to step up) and can run a deal end-to-end, including prospecting.

    However, if you have a track record of tackling hard problems, hands-on experience with AI tools (not just familiarity), put customers first, and have a drive to make things happen you may also be a great fit for our team. Either way, what separates a good candidate from a great one is proa
