Pipeline
Doesn't say where pipeline comes from. Ask.
Time on market
Open 34 days. Normal, but not fresh.
Company hiring
4 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

Red lights

None spotted.

Green lights

  • Publishes OTE. It tells you the on-target earnings up front. Most postings don't.
  • Pays accelerators. Higher commission rates once you pass quota. Overperformance actually pays.

Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

  1. 1.

    What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?

    OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.

  2. 2.

    What's the annual quota, and how was it set?

    A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.

  3. 3.

    Where does pipeline come from: inbound, SDRs, or me?

    Tells you how much of your week is prospecting versus selling.

  4. 4.

    How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?

    Full quota on day one means you start behind.

  5. 5.

    What's a typical deal size and sales cycle?

    Together they tell you how many deals it takes to hit your number.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

› When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?

    What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.

  2. 2.

    Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?

    The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.

  3. 3.

    I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?

    Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.

Full posting
As a member of the Global Sales & Marketing Leadership Team at OnLogic, you'll lead every Americas sales function, from new customer acquisition through to our largest key accounts. You'll bring both the technical credibility to earn the trust of the engineers who design our hardware into their products, and the commercial rigor to predict, deliver and grow revenue in line with our strategy. This role exists to grow the region's relevance in the next era of edge computing, and to make OnLogic the first choice for the customers building it. We believe in the power of in-person collaboration and the benefits of a strong workplace community. This role requires an onsite presence at either our South Burlington, Vermont or Cary, North Carolina office, plus 30–40% travel across the Americas. We encourage candidates who are able to relocate or comfortably commute to apply. In this role, you’ll be responsible for: - Predicting, delivering and growing Americas revenue, growth and gross margin in line with long range plan expectations, with a forecast the business can confidently plan around. - Leading all Americas sales teams as one funnel (acquisition, growth and mid-market, partner, and strategic accounts). - Increasing the region's relevance in the next era of edge computing: sharpening where we play, building the technical and commercial selling capability to win there, and carrying customer insight back to Product, Engineering and Marketing. - Coaching the team to build impactful relationships at every level of a customer, from the design engineer choosing a part to the executive sponsor funding the program. - Building and leveraging your own network across our ecosystem of key accounts and technology and commercial partners, including at C-level, to support your team's endeavors. - Hiring, coaching and developing sales managers and their successors, raising both the technical and commercial fluency of the whole organization. - Engaging personally in our most complex opportunities. - Defining the sales processes, segmentation and coverage model that drive the outcomes we need, and improving them as the region scales. - Contributing as a peer on the Sales and Marketing Leadership Team: co-owning demand generation, positioning and vertical campaigns, and representing OnLogic across the edge computing ecosystem. The team you will be joining: Our Sales & Marketing team is a collaborative crew of digital marketers, creative storytellers, revenue drivers, and account strategists dedicated to positioning OnLogic as the first choice in edge computing and helping customers make the impossible possible. Together, they build demand, fuel growth, and champion the customer experience across every touchpoint. From creative campaign development and ecommerce management to strategic account growth, complex solution selling, and partner co-sell motions, this team bridges brand awareness with high-impact revenue generation and scalable sales operations. - Learn more about Life at OnLogic: www.onlogic.com/life-at-onlogic Requirements - 10+ years in B2B technology sales, including 5+ years leading a multi-layer sales organization and ownership of a regional or national revenue number. - Technical acumen in edge computing — you can speak credibly with customers, partners and the industry about compute architecture, accelerators, power and thermal constraints, certification, and long-lifecycle supply. - Commercial acumen you can demonstrate through examples: forecast accuracy, gross margin ownership, segmentation and coverage design, and planning against a multi-year long range plan. - Ability to work onsite in South Burlington, VT or Cary, NC, and to travel 30–40% across the Americas. - Ability to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship, now and in the future. Who we're looking for: - A relationship builder who is well connected across the edge computing ecosystem: OEMs and machine builders, system integrators and ISVs. - Sound knowledge of industry challenges and the critical use cases in demand. - A champion of our culture who sets a high bar and holds the team to outstanding results and outstanding behavior. - Someone who loves a challenge and is drawn to the harder version of the problem: a large region with more potential than process, and a plan that asks you to build capability and hit a number at the same time. - A developer of people who coaches by default, takes feedback as readily as they give it, and is visibly still learning this market themselves. - A leader who can run their own organization clearly and also be a real teammate on the Sales and Marketing Leadership Team. - Someone comfortable being a public voice for OnLogic on edge computing: on stage, in customer briefings, and with press and analysts. - A promoter of OnLogic's values-based culture of Open, Fair, Innovative and Independent. Who we are: OnLogic employees have the opportunity to shape our future and drive impactful change. We design and manufacture specialized edge computing solutions for companies all over the world, helping them to make the seemingly impossible possible.
