VP, SALES & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Status: Active Recruitment | Mission: Building A Superhuman Future.®
Preferred Location: Knoxville, TN (HQ)
Alternative Locations: DC Metro | Virginia Beach | Fayetteville | Columbus (GA) | Tampa Bay
I. THE OBJECTIVE
Qore Performance is transitioning from Founder-led sales to a mature, VP-led capability. Your ‘North Star’ is to eliminate the biological throttles of our customers by establishing QPI as the global leader in thermoregulation for American Security and American Prosperity. You are not here to maintain a system; you are here to engineer a scalable revenue architecture from the ground up.
II. THE ARCHITECTURE (PRIORITIZED OUTCOMES)
Immediate Revenue Lethality: Deliver verifiable P/L results within 30 days by ‘dialing for dollars’ through our existing Shopify database. Goal: as close to $100k in closed sales in Month 1.
System Engineering: Implement and own the outbound tech stack. You will integrate a new CRM with our current environment (Shopify, MRPeasy, Google Workspace/Gemini).
Contract Capture: Navigate and secure high-level contracts (SBIR, OTA, PoR, Sole-Source) from requirement shaping to final delivery and approved procurement lists.
Transition Leadership: Move the company from inbound-organic to outbound-disciplined. You will eventually recruit, train, and lead a team of Account Managers and Field Specialists.
Multi-Vertical Fluidity: Simultaneously manage DoD/Government contracts and Enterprise Safety sales (e.g., Chick-fil-A, Dutch Bros, industrial foundries).
III. THE OPERATOR (REQUIRED SPEC)
Service History: Senior Enlisted SOF Veteran (AFSOC, NSW, SF, Ranger Regiment, etc.).
Private Sector P&L: Minimum 5–10 years of private sector experience with a proven track record of closing eight figures in revenue.
Technical Rigor: An ‘AI Ninja’ capable of leveraging Gemini and other LLMs to accelerate the sales cycle and build research bots.
Communication: Executes a highly responsive customer communication cadence. Precision in language is mandatory.
Cultural Alignment: Driven by a deep, primal desire for execution excellence in every action.
IV. THE ENVIRONMENT (CULTURE & TECH)
Neatness as a Requirement: We maintain ‘set-ready’ workstations. Neatness is a physical manifestation of a disciplined mind.
No Red Tape: We are not beholden to PE or VC. We move at the speed of physics.
The Tech Stack: Proficiency in Shopify, MRPeasy, Google Workspace, and specialized contract interfaces (SupplyCentral, Singapore SOF) is required.
Assets: Access to a 2,500 sq. ft. media studio and ‘Betsy,’ our F-150 show truck, for high-fidelity presentations.
