Sales Manager

About Arketa

Arketa is building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness. Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in‑person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses, whether online, in‑person, or both.

With Arketa, studios can manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on‑demand video libraries, host retreats, run automated marketing, and launch fully branded apps and websites. We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint. We've raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It's a unique moment to join us. We're building a category‑defining company in a fast‑moving space, and we're looking for a leader who is excited to help shape what world‑class partner support looks like in the wellness category.

As our second Sales Manager, you'll lead a growing team of AEs — most of them early in their careers — to exceed pipeline and revenue goals. Coaching is at the heart of this role: you'll spend your days developing junior sellers into high performers, running deal reviews, joining calls, and building the reps' skills at every stage of the funnel.

We're scaling fast, from tens of millions of ARR toward hundreds of millions in ARR, which means constant experimentation. You'll help us trial new sales plays, test new segments, and pilot new team models — then double down on what works and cut what doesn't.

Mult‑location deals a plus - ability to coach sellers on demoing and selling larger businesses with multiple layers and more complex processes.

This team is high‑velocity and high‑volume, growing quickly and experimenting often. Each member of the sales team is highly passionate about our Partners, the wellness space and studios they enable.

• Partner closely with our SDR managers on feedback loops and coaching opportunities across the funnel

• Develop performance metrics, dashboards, and regular reporting
