22%

Account Executive leads the field

43%

Weighted toward senior experience

43% of open sales & GTM roles read as senior-level. Entry-level (intern + junior) roles are 20% - a signal of how open this field is to early-career candidates.

64%

Where the demand is

One field, 24 different jobs

“Sales & GTM” is a bucket, not a job. It rolls up 24 titles that share a craft but not a day - different scope, different level, different pay band. Which title you're chasing is the first cut worth making.

Freshness

What’s open, by the week it posted

How old the live sales & GTM pipeline is - the window where applying early still puts you in front of a human instead of a stack.

Jun 22This week
+551

sales & GTM roles posted in the last seven days, across 631 employers - 9% of everything open in the field.

Each bar is the open roles posted that week, not a count of everything posted then: roles that have since closed are gone from it, so older weeks read lighter by design. The window starts when we began ingesting sales & GTM listings, because a week-by-week series that ran further back would measure our board coverage rather than the market. 199 listings carry no posting date and sit out of this chart.

Pay, where disclosed

Base salary, from listings that state one

Base only. Bonus, commission and equity are real money but listings describe them too inconsistently to compare, so they stay out of the maths rather than inflate it.

Employers write locations as free text, so every spelling of a city is resolved to one market before it’s counted. A listing naming several markets counts in each, so these don’t sum to the field. The 4,507 that name no city - remote, “Hybrid”, a campus or a building - sit out entirely rather than get attributed to one.

Methodology

How we compute this

Short version: we count listings, we don't model them. Where the data is thin, the page says so instead of guessing.

Counted, not estimated

Every figure comes from the 6,417 active sales & GTM listings we track across 15 applicant-tracking systems, ingested hourly from public job boards. A role that closes this morning drops out this afternoon.

Shares state their own denominator

Work-model percentages cover only the 3,045 listings that declare one. Experience level is read off every posting at ingest, so those shares cover the whole field. We’d rather show the smaller base than fill the gap.

A field rolls up related titles

Sales & GTM covers Account Executive, Customer Success Manager, Enterprise Account Executive and 21 more titles. A posting joins a title when its own text describes that job - the roll-up is on the classified role, never on a keyword in the headline.

FAQ

Common questions

How many sales & GTM jobs are open right now?

6,417 as of September 2026, across 631 companies, with 551 posted in the last seven days. The count is recomputed every hour and roles that close drop out the same day.

Which sales & GTM roles are most in demand?

Account Executive (1,410 open), Customer Success Manager (668 open), and Enterprise Account Executive (600 open) - out of 24 sales & GTM titles carrying at least one open role today.

Are sales & GTM jobs remote?

Of the 3,045 sales & GTM listings that declare a work model, 64% are fully remote, 13% hybrid and 23% on-site. Most listings never say, so this is the share among those that do - not of the whole field.

What does a sales & GTM job pay?

Median disclosed base is $148k, with the middle 50% between $105k and $223k. That is base only, computed from the 1,326 open sales & GTM listings that state an annual range - bonus, commission and equity are excluded because listings describe them too inconsistently to compare.

What experience level are sales & GTM jobs?

43% of open sales & GTM roles read as senior-level, and 20% are entry-level (intern or junior). The level is read off each posting when we ingest it, so every open role is counted here.
