  • Travel extensively to support your team in the field. This is a hands-on role that requires presence

๐Ÿ” What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years leading front-line enterprise sales teams selling business application software, with direct accountability for revenue in the F500
  • 10+ years of combined IC and management experience in enterprise sales
  • Track record in emerging technology categories and top-down selling into strategic stakeholders
  • Has built a function from scratch, setting pacing and pipeline-generation targets in a new or undefined motion rather than operating an existing one
  • Has closed and coached deals with ACV in the six and seven figure range, and knows the difference between deal management and deal involvement
  • Operates with autonomy in a decentralized environment: sets direction, makes calls, and doesn't wait for the playbook to be handed down
  • Has recruited, developed, and retained high-performing enterprise sellers across the full talent lifecycle
  • Willing to travel extensively to support deals and team

โœจ Nice to have

  • Experience selling a horizontal platform into multiple verticals and buyer personas simultaneously
  • Existing relationships and credibility within F500 accounts in relevant verticals
