This role owns the full sales cycle for enterprise-level engagements - from pipeline development and stakeholder mapping through negotiation and closing - while translating company-wide sales strategy into actionable regional plans.

As the Sales Director for your territory, you will help set the tone for the team's approach to complex, high-value deals and navigating multi-stakeholder buying committees, long sales cycles, and enterprise procurement processes, positioning the company as a strategic partner rather than a vendor.

Success in this role requires a combination of strategic thinking, hands-on deal leadership, and cross-functional collaboration with marketing, customer success, product, and legal teams to ensure smooth deal execution and long-term account health. The Enterprise Sales Director is ultimately accountable for revenue targets, forecast accuracy, and the overall health and growth of the enterprise book of business.

Sales Execution

  • Work closely with prospects and customers to understand their business needs and goals, advising on relevant product capabilities
  • Qualify leads and work with the sales team to overcome obstacles to achieving sales goals
  • Negotiate commercial terms with customers
  • Ensure a seamless handover of new customers to Customer Success and Customer Support

Relationships & Representation
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key customers, strategic partners, and stakeholders in the region
  • Attend conferences and industry events to promote Airlock Digital

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Collaborate across the business on messaging, pricing strategy, and business models to support revenue goals
  • Provide insights and recommendations to Airlock Digital leadership on sales strategy and product enhancements

Reporting & Analysis
  • Prepare regular sales reports, including revenue forecasts, pipelines, and performance metrics
  • Analyze sales data to identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement
Required Skills & Qualifications:
  • 8+ years of technology sales experience, with a proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding quota
  • Must live within and have an established sales history/network in the Central US (MN, MO, IL)
  • Deep understanding of the cybersecurity industry, market landscape, and emerging trends
  • Experience executing go-to-market strategies and managing complex, multi-channel sales cycles
  • Strong understanding of SaaS business models, sales cycles, and solution/value-based selling methodologies
  • Established relationships with and/or ability to network with business owners, CISOs, and technology leaders across organizations of all sizes
  • Excellent verbal, written, and presentation communication skills, with the ability to build rapport and negotiate effectively at the executive level
  • Skilled in pipeline management and forecasting, with proficiency in CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot)
