Sales Jobs in the US: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)
You want a sales job in the United States, and you want to know which employers are actually posting right now. Here is the picture from the JobRise live jobs feed as of 14 October 2026: 1,552 open sales listings in the United States, with 1,093 posted in the last 30 days and 602 in the last 7 days. That is a live feed count, not a market survey, so treat it as a snapshot of what is open today.
Who is posting the most roles#
Ten employers dominate the feed. Red Bull has 165 open listings, Stripe has 84, Blufox Mobile has 72, Anthropic has 60, Brex has 58, Datadog has 54, Elastic has 52, Ramp has 46, Mongodb has 30, and Langchain has 27. Some of these names are recruiters or staffing firms rather than the final employer, so read each listing carefully before you assume who signs the paycheck.
Red Bull is hiring field and account roles. Two examples in the feed are "Merchandiser (Full Time)" and "Account Sales Manager". These are route, retail, and territory jobs, not SaaS closing roles. If you want steady work with a clear daily routine, that segment is hiring more than any other single name in this snapshot.
Datadog has 54 listings and is filling enterprise technical sales, including "Enterprise Security Sales Specialist". That role wants sellers who can talk to security teams and run a long deal cycle. If you have sold to IT or security buyers before, this is a direct match.
MaintainX is running a senior push. Its open roles include "Director of Enterprise Sales" and "Enterprise Account Director - North East". Carta has "Senior Account Executive, PE Strategic" posted. These are senior seats with named territory or named market focus, so a generic resume will not survive the first screen.
Ramp has 46 listings and is hiring across sales development, account management, and solutions consulting. It is also one of the few employers showing pay. More on that below.

Where the jobs are#
The city counts are concentrated. New York has 195 open listings, San Francisco has 178, Chicago has 77, Boston has 53, and Denver has 41. Those five cities account for a large share of the feed, and they line up with where tech, finance, and consumer goods employers keep sales teams.
New York and San Francisco skew toward fintech, SaaS, and enterprise roles. Chicago carries more consumer and field sales weight, which fits Red Bull's 165 listings. Boston and Denver mix enterprise tech with industrial and construction sales. AmeriTech Contracting LLC, for example, has a "Construction Estimator" posted, and 1915 South / Ashley has a "Retail Sales Associate".
If you live outside these cities, filter the sales feed by remote or by your metro before you assume there is nothing. The city counts only cover listings that name a city.
What the job-type mix tells you#
Of the 1,552 open sales listings, 1,434 are full-time, 100 are part-time, and 18 are contract. Full-time dominates by a wide margin, which is a good sign for anyone seeking stability and benefits. Contract sales hiring is thin right now, so do not build your search around short-term gigs.
The mix by employer type is more interesting. Big tech and enterprise SaaS show up in Stripe, Datadog, Elastic, Mongodb, and Anthropic. Startups and growth-stage fintech show up in Brex, Ramp, and Langchain. Agencies and staffing firms appear in the feed too, and Blufox Mobile's 72 listings suggest a large outsourced or field sales operation. Public sector selling is present: Ramp has "Manager, Sales Development, Public Sector" posted.
In plain terms, the market right now rewards two profiles. One is the field or route seller who shows up in person, which is Red Bull and retail. The other is the enterprise seller who can run a complex deal, which is Datadog, MaintainX, Carta, and Stripe. The middle, generic inside sales seat, is where the competition is heaviest.
What pay actually looks like#
Only 49 of the 1,552 listings show pay. That is roughly 3 percent of the feed, so most employers are still keeping numbers off the posting. When pay is shown, it is concentrated at Ramp, and the posted figures are large.
"Manager, Account Manager | Growth" at Ramp: $180K, $247K • Offers Equity • Offers Commission. "Manager, Sales Development, Public Sector" at Ramp: $166K, $254K • Offers Equity • Offers Commission • 70/30 split. "Account Manager | Strategic" at Ramp: $265K, $400K • Offers Equity • Multiple Ranges. "Enterprise Manager, Sales Development" at Ramp: $166K, $254K • Offers Equity • Offers Commission • 70/30 split. "Manager, Enterprise Solutions Consulting" at Ramp: $195K, $298K • Offers Equity • Multiple Ranges. "Manager, Account Executive | Enterprise" at Ramp: $377K, $450K • Offers Equity • 45/55 split.
Those are posted ranges, not guarantees. Base and total comp differ, the equity and commission portions vary by offer, and the split notes mean the pay mix tilts toward variable. Verify the current official posting and ask the recruiter to confirm the base, quota, and variable split in writing before you compare offers.
If you are early career#
Entry-level looking titles, meaning intern, graduate, junior, trainee and similar, account for 36 of the 1,552 listings. That is a small slice, so you will need volume and speed.
The feed includes "Jr. Loan Originator" at Merchants Mortgage & Trust Corporation, "Entry Level Financial Sales Agent (Long Island)" at WealthBridge Financial Group, "NEW GRAD: Sales Development Representative" at Fooda, "Entry Level Sales | Roofing Sales | Earn $100K+ Year One" at SmartRoof, and two Bosch Group postings for "Entry-level Sales and Marketing Representative", one in Boston and one in Los Angeles. Note the SmartRoof title claims earnings in the title. Treat that as a claim to verify, not a promise.
How to apply this week#
Apply direct whenever you can. Staffing firms and recruiters in the feed are fine, but a direct application to the employer's own site usually moves faster and gives you a named contact.
Mirror the listing's language. If the posting says "Enterprise Account Director - North East", use that exact phrase in your resume headline and your first email line. If it says "Enterprise Security Sales Specialist", name security buyers and deal sizes you have actually worked with. Applicant tracking systems match on phrasing, so a quick scan with a free ATS checker before you hit submit is worth five minutes.
Work the newest postings first. 602 of the 1,552 sales listings went up in the last 7 days, and early applicants get read more carefully. You can see the full sales feed on our US sales jobs hub and compare it against the wider market in our US hiring report, which shows 13,720 open listings across all categories in the United States and 8,471 posted in the last 30 days.
A 7-step plan#
- Pick two tracks. Choose one enterprise track (Datadog, MaintainX, Carta, Stripe) and one field or retail track (Red Bull, 1915 South / Ashley). Do not spray one resume at both.
- Rewrite your headline to match the exact target title, word for word, from the listing.
- Quantify your last two roles with numbers you can defend in an interview: quota, attainment, deal size, cycle length, accounts carried.
- Apply to 5 to 8 listings a day, newest first, direct to the employer site when possible.
- Send a short note to a hiring manager or peer at each company within 24 hours of applying. Two sentences, one specific reason you fit.
- Track everything in a simple sheet: company, title, date applied, contact, next step, and follow-up date.
- Run your resume through a free ATS checker before each batch so you catch formatting and keyword gaps early.
