Intro to Easol

 

Easol is the first AI operating system for the Experience Commerce category - an intelligent digital workforce that helps experience creators (our word for client) run their business. Our ambition is bold: to become the category leader in a $300bn+ space.


We power professional experience creators with a fully integrated platform that brings together website, booking engine, payments, sales & marketing tools, operations, and data & insight - all underpinned by agentic AI. Easol enables enterprise creators to streamline, scale and transform their businesses through a single, end-to-end system.


Today, we focus on two core verticals: Music, with creators including Coachella, Live Nation and Afro Nation - and Entertainment, with creators including Swingers Crazy Golf and Hijingo. Over the next year, we’ll be deepening our product in each vertical and expanding into new segments.


We’re a fast-growing, well-funded business that has doubled in size in 2025, with a clear pathway to do the same again in 2026. A key pillar of our strategy is building AI-centric workflows directly into the platform, transforming how creators design, sell and operate their experiences.


 


 

About the role

 

We’re hiring a Director of Sales for Entertainment (LBE) to lead growth in one of Easol’s two core verticals. This is a senior, high-impact role at the centre of our Entertainment strategy, reporting directly to the CEO. You’ll be responsible for delivering multi-million dollar new business across mid-market and enterprise LBE operators (e.g. competitive socialising, karaoke, escape rooms, VR and adjacent categories). 


LBE is a key growth area for the business in 2026. Having entered the market in 2025, Easol has won flagship creators (Swingers Golf, Hijingo, Bingo Loco). It is a rapidly-growing market currently served by a fragmented legacy stack; the opportunity is huge and we are at an inflection point as AI presents a step change in how Easol can support creators. Easol is moving full steam ahead to disrupt and become the market leader.


As Director of Sales, you’ll own a significant quota and lead complex $200k+ ACV, multi-stakeholder sales cycles, while directly managing a high-quality team (2 sales reps). As a key GTM leader for the vertical, you’ll work in a matrix org alongside Marketing, Customer Success, Product and Finance to build a repeatable sales motion, improve forecasting rigour, and ensure deals are structured for long-term, sustainable revenue.



About you 

  • You’re a senior, outcomes-driven sales director who knows how to win and scale in a high-growth environment. You’re comfortable owning a meaningful number, leading complex enterprise deals end-to-end, and building a repeatable motion that improves quarter after quarter.

  • Proven enterprise / mid-market seller - a strong track record delivering against a multi-million dollar quota, ideally in B2B SaaS (vertical SaaS, marketplace, or payments/take-rate models a plus).

  • Experienced in complex, multi-stakeholder sales - you’ve closed $200k+ ACV deals with senior decision makers, and you’re strong on discovery, value articulation, ROI narratives, negotiation, and closing discipline.

  • Commercially sharp and metric-led - you run a tight ship on pipeline generation, conversion, and forecasting, with MEDDICC-style rigour (or similar) and a high bar for CRM hygiene and deal quality.

  • A high-standards people manager - you’ve line-managed and developed sales reps, you coach effectively (calls, discovery, demos, negotiation), and you know how to raise performance whilst fostering a strong culture.

  • Strong cross-functional operator - you thrive in a matrix org, partnering with Marketing, CS, Product and Finance to align plans, unblock execution, and deliver outcomes.

  • Customer-obsessed and market-curious - you build credibility with operators, understand how experience businesses make money and how Easol can support this, and you turn customer insight into sharper GTM and product direction.

  • Bias to action - you move fast, take ownership, and bring energy, judgement, and resilience in a role that combines autonomy with high expectations. You make things happen!

 


 


What Success Looks Like

  • 3 months: fully ramped on Easol, LBE market + take-rate model; running a tight weekly cadence; coaching the team; owning key deals; building pipeline and a clear next-quarter forecast/plan.

  • 6 months: closing key deals; hitting quarterly targets; developed pipeline to hit next quarter; improved win-rate/velocity and forecast accuracy; repeatable outbound + marketing motion in place; strong CS handover rhythm; clear commercial guardrails with Finance.

  • 12 months: team reliably delivering annual new business targets; a high-performing team and scalable sales playbook for LBE; strong operator relationships and market presence; next-year LBE GTM plan agreed and ready to execute.
