39%

Weighted toward mid experience

39% of open sales & GTM roles read as mid-level. Entry-level (intern + junior) roles are 18% - a signal of how open this field is to early-career candidates.

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.

Aug 10This week
+942

sales & GTM roles posted in the last seven days, across 891 employers - 11% 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. 14 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 5,917 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 8,667 active sales & GTM listings we track across 19 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 4,578 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, Account 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?

8,667 as of October 2026, across 891 companies, with 942 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 (1,963 open), Account Manager (958 open), and Enterprise Account Executive (923 open) - out of 24 sales & GTM titles carrying at least one open role today.

Are sales & GTM jobs remote?

Of the 4,578 sales & GTM listings that declare a work model, 42% are fully remote, 31% hybrid and 27% 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 $150k, with the middle 50% between $108k and $193k. That is base only, computed from the 2,061 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?

39% of open sales & GTM roles read as mid-level, and 18% are entry-level (intern or junior). The level is read off each posting when we ingest it, so every open role is counted here.
