Head of Sales

About Clark Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy. We're starting with audit and accounting workflows—high-trust environments where reliability, accuracy, and security matter as much as productivity. Our platform helps firms automate complex audit workflows, deploy AI safely, and modernize how audit teams operate. We're building a category-defining company at the intersection of AI, audit, and enterprise trust. The Role We are hiring a Head of Sales to build Clark’s sales motion from the ground up. This person will own new business revenue, expansion revenue, sales process, forecasting, hiring, enablement, and the repeatable motion for selling AI-powered audit transformation to accounting firms. This is a hands-on leadership role. You should be comfortable closing customers yourself, building pipeline with the team, refining discovery, partnering with Audit Engineers on demos, and turning early sales learning into a repeatable machine. Why This Role Matters Clark is selling into a trust-sensitive, relationship-driven market where buyers need to believe not only that AI can improve audit workflows, but that it can be deployed safely and reliably. Sales will play a critical role in educating the market, earning trust with firm leadership, closing the right customers, and building the foundation for long-term revenue growth. The Head of Sales will turn Clark’s early customer demand into a scalable revenue engine.
