Technical Sales Associate · Hybrid, San Francisco Bay Area
Base salary: $75,000–$95,000 · OTE: $100,000–$125,000

📍 Location
This is a hybrid role based in our San Francisco office. You should live in the San Francisco Bay Area and be able to work from the office a few days a week.

🚀 About a1mobile
a1mobile is building the AI-native carrier for businesses.

We're rebuilding the carrier layer, bringing mobile, landline, and AI phone systems together. Every business number should answer, understand, take action, and follow up.

Our first product, a1mobile One, is one business line for $99/month: unlimited calls and texts, 5G data, and an AI receptionist built into the carrier itself. It answers every call and text 24/7, takes bookings and orders, sends quotes and follows up. Our customers are small service businesses: restaurants, cafes, salons, studios, contractors, and hotels.

We recently raised an $11.5M seed round led by General Catalyst, with backing from Menlo Ventures, SV Angel, Commerce Ventures, and other leading investors.

We're looking for an early-career Technical Sales Associate who loves both technology and people. You'll be the first conversation many businesses have with a1mobile: qualifying inbound interest, running product walkthroughs, and helping owners see how an AI-native line fits their business.

🧭 Experience we're looking for
• 0–2 years of experience in sales, customer support, or another customer-facing role. Recent graduates with a technical background are welcome.

🛠 What you'll do
• Respond quickly to inbound leads by phone, text, and email, and qualify their needs.
• Run short product walkthroughs and live demos of the AI receptionist.
• Help prospects choose the right setup: eSIM, physical SIM, or landline adapter, and bringing their existing number.
• Book qualified meetings for Account Executives and Sales Engineers, and close simple deals yourself.
• Go door to door, visiting target businesses in person to walk owners through the product and get them started on an a1mobile number.
• Keep the CRM clean and accurate.
• Share what you hear from customers with product and marketing.

🎯 What we're looking for
• Real curiosity about technology and AI, and the drive to learn the product deeply.
• Clear, confident communication, especially on the phone.
• Strong organization and fast follow-up.
• A coachable mindset and eagerness to grow in sales.
• Comfort with door-to-door selling: walking into businesses, starting conversations with owners, and closing in person. Reliable transportation is needed.
• A strong sense of ownership and the ability to move work forward without waiting to be told.
• A team player who communicates openly, shares knowledge, and collaborates closely with others.
• The flexibility to adapt and keep pace with a fast-moving startup.

➕ Nice to have
• A technical degree or hands-on technical experience.
• Experience working with small business owners.
• Fluency in Spanish or another language spoken by local business owners.
