- Plooto is looking for a Vice President, Commercial to build and scale our commercial distribution engine

- Your primary growth mandate is to turn accountants and bookkeepers into a scalable distribution channel for Plooto, while strengthening our direct sales organization and developing strategic partnerships that create meaningful customer growth. You will lead Sales and Partnerships & Business Development and report directly to the CEO as a member of Plooto’s Executive Leadership Team

- This is a high-volume, low-ACV SMB business. Success requires strong judgment about where human sales effort creates value, where customers should move through self-service, and how trusted intermediaries can create efficient, repeatable distribution

- We are looking for a builder. You will have personally created or materially scaled a commercial motion, channel, or capability from an immature starting point, while also bringing the operating discipline to lead and develop a strong sales organization

- Build a repeatable accountant and bookkeeper distribution model. Determine how we identify, segment, enable, activate, cover, and grow the firms and practitioners that can drive meaningful SMB adoption

- Turn institutional relationships into practitioner-level adoption. Build the field coverage, enablement, incentives, and operating model required to move from signing accounting firms to generating repeatable downstream customer growth

- Set Plooto’s commercial strategy across accountant-led distribution, direct sales, strategic partnerships, and self-service. Make clear choices about where we invest and why

- Lead and develop Sales and Partnerships & Business Development. Build strong leaders beneath you while remaining close enough to frontline execution to inspect deals, partners, funnel performance, and customer reality directly

- Raise sales execution rigor through forecasting, pipeline inspection, CRM discipline, coaching, capacity planning, and performance accountability

- Build strategic partnerships into measurable distribution. Personally help originate, structure, negotiate, and expand relationships with accounting firms, financial institutions, platforms, and other ecosystem partners

- Use data and unit economics to allocate commercial investment.



Understand conversion, CAC, LTV, payback, sales productivity, partner activation, and downstream customer growth

- Work across Marketing, Product, Data, Customer Operations, and Compliance to identify and remove constraints across the customer journey and create accountability across functions you do not manage

- Stay close to the market. Spend meaningful time with customers, prospects, accounting firms, practitioners, and major partners, and bring those insights into company strategy and product decisions

- Contribute as an enterprise leader. Challenge assumptions, make clear tradeoffs, and communicate commercial performance, choices, and risks to the Executive Leadership Team and Board
- In your first year, you will have:

- Established a clear commercial strategy defining the roles of accountant-led distribution, direct sales, strategic partnerships, and self-service

- Increased the number and productivity of activated accounting and bookkeeping partners and the downstream customers they generate

- Built the foundations of a repeatable accountant channel, with clear segmentation, activation, enablement, coverage, and measures of partner productivity

- Improved conversion and commercial productivity while maintaining disciplined customer acquisition economics

- Improved forecast quality, pipeline visibility, sales execution, and performance accountability

- Developed strategic partnerships into measurable sources of customers, revenue, or strategic value

- Built stronger Sales and Partnerships leadership, with capable leaders able to run their areas with increasing independence
