Full Job Description
We are looking for a high-agency, hands-on Head of Global Sales to join our team! We are seeking an experienced, battle-tested sales leader who thrives in a flat structure, rolls up their sleeves to manage pipeline discipline, and uses data to drive strategic GTM decisions. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will bridge the gap between high-level go-to-market strategy and day-to-day tactical execution. You will unify our enterprise sales organization, lead senior individual contributors, and proactively identify and fix operational gaps. This is a very exciting and lucrative opportunity for the right leader.

  • Lead commercial due diligence and go-to-market integration for multi-product expansion and market entry into new international territories
  • Translate raw sales operational data into actionable strategic shifts (verticalization, inbound/outbound mix, unit economics, ACV, and cost of sale)
  • Maintain extreme tactical discipline across account pipelines, forecast accuracy, stage progression, and rep performance
  • Join key prospective enterprise calls to guide deal strategy, provide real-time coaching, and help close complex multi-stakeholder deals
  • Build and drive our enterprise outbound motion, establishing clear performance expectations and accountability
  • Proactively identify operational and sales process flaws, designing and executing self-directed initiatives to resolve them

  • Proven expertise architecting global sales motions across complex, multi-product enterprise SaaS portfolios
  • Demonstrated experience structuring multi-million-dollar enterprise contracts and strategic partnerships that drive long-term valuation and enterprise value
  • Battle-tested experience navigating market shifts, failed playbooks, or GTM missteps, with the ability to spot execution risks early
  • Demonstrated high agency and autonomy, with the ability to independently diagnose problems and execute solutions without waiting for direction
  • Player-coach mentality with the willingness to operate without mid-management layers, managing flat teams with direct line-of-sight into rep execution
