Print Consultant (B2B Sales)

We're looking for an entrepreneurial sales professional to own the full B2B sales cycle at Artifact Uprising — from identifying and prospecting new business to managing inbound demand, closing deals, and helping establish the playbook for how we grow with organizational customers.

You'll join as our first dedicated B2B sales hire at a moment when demonstrated demand already exists, but much of that success has been generated opportunistically. You'll have the chance to develop outbound strategies for target markets, refine our sales process, and directly influence the future of the business. If you're energized by building from the ground up and want to sell products that customers genuinely love, this role offers a rare opportunity to create outsized impact within a growing brand.

Our B2B business has gained traction organically — brands, nonprofits, schools, and agencies are already finding us, and the demand is real. We're now building a more intentional, scalable sales motion around that demand. This is a pivotal moment, and we're looking for the right person to grow it. Job Responsibilities

Outbound Prospecting

Research and identify target accounts and key decision-makers within target verticals; develop tailored outreach strategies by segment, vertical, and size

Qualifications
