About Delightree

Delightree is the AI Operating System for Franchises. We provide a single app that runs every part of a franchise system's operations. From the CEO down to the frontline. While most franchisors struggle with a long list of disconnected tools that franchisees ignore, Delightree serves as the single source of truth - connecting data, insights and action across all operations.

Why We’re Hiring

As we further develop first-in-class AI solutions, the demand from established franchise brands is exploding. We are building an elite Denver-based sales team to own this segment. This isn’t a maintenance role; we need an architect who will develop our people today and earn a seat at the table as we scale the future of this company.

What You’ll Do

  • You will lead a senior team of Mid-Market AEs focused on $75k–$400k ARR deals with complex franchise organizations.
  • Lead AEs on deal strategy to displace legacy solutions for large-scale operators.
  • Coach reps to move the conversation from "Software Cost" to "Operational ROI," focusing on how AI transforms the way they operate their business.
  • Install MEDDPICC rigor to ensure our largest deals are qualified based on true "Economic Buyer" alignment on the AI vision.
  • Partner with AEs to provide executive presence with CXOs and VPs (including onsite) to close deals.
  • Own the Mid-Market forecast for the Board, ensuring "Commit" deals have been fully vetted for legal, technical and business requirements.
  • Partner with Product, Marketing and CS to build clear competitive positioning and that highlights our AI advantage.

What We’re Looking For

  • Three to five or more years of B2B SaaS leadership experience in Mid-Market or Enterprise segments
  • Experience selling complex AI or automation solutions to C-suite stakeholders
  • Deep expertise in MEDDPICC and Value-Based selling methodologies
  • Proven ability to build a sales culture that prioritizes high-value deal structures over discounting
  • Strong business acumen; you understand P&L, labor laws, and franchise EBITDA drivers

Who You Are

  • The Strategist: You see the "Agentic AI" shift as the biggest opportunity in franchising and know how to capitalize on it
  • The Skeptic: You audit deals with a critical eye, ensuring your reps aren't just "happy-earring" a prospect's interest in AI
  • The Leader: You have the gravitas to command a room and the empathy to coach a senior team through complex cycles
  • Entrepreneurial: You thrive on the challenge of building a new segment and refining a "best-in-class" GTM motion

What We Offer

  • 260K - 320K OTE Based on Experience
  • Significant "Early Leader" equity grant
  • Executive coaching and leadership development stipend
  • Hybrid work environment with in-office collaboration in Denver
  • Direct partnership with the Founders and Executives to shape the future of AI in franchising

Requirements

  • Must be based in Denver with three to five days per week onsite
  • Willingness to travel to franchise HQs for Deal support and major industry events (IFA, RFDC, etc.)
  • Authorized to work in the United States
