Head of Sales and Customer Success: Plot

About the Company

Plot exists to bring creativity back to marketing. Social teams are overwhelmed by noise, manual work, and fragmented tools — leaving less time for the part they actually love: creating.

Plot uses AI to automate and orchestrate social video, analyzing social signals, surfacing insight, and powering smarter execution so brands can move faster, work more strategically, and actually enjoy the platform they use every day.

Placed Candidate: VP of Sales & Customer Success

Jake Mandelkorn

Jake is a true zero-to-one builder who has scaled sales functions at three startups (Upfluence, Cameo, and Flip AI) each time without an existing playbook. As employee #5 at Upfluence, he built the entire sales org from scratch and closed multiple seven-figure enterprise deals. At Flip AI, he grew the team from zero to 15 reps reporting directly to the CEO. Process-oriented and founder-proximate, Jake knows how to take a company from founder-led sales to a structured, repeatable motion — and has done it more than once.
