  • Conduct regular pipeline reviews, forecast calls, and deal strategy sessions
  • Help reps improve discovery, qualification, demo delivery, negotiation, and closing skills
  • Set clear performance expectations and provide ongoing feedback and coaching
  • Conduct performance reviews and support career development planning
  • Partner with leadership to establish sales goals, processes, and operating rhythms
  • Identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement across the sales organization
  • Participate in recruiting efforts, including interviewing and helping attract top sales talent
  • Serve as a trusted resource for reps throughout the sales cycle
What You'll Bring
  • Significant experience selling B2B SaaS solutions
  • Experience managing and developing quota-carrying sales teams
  • Strong track record of coaching reps to exceed performance goals
  • Deep understanding of sales process, pipeline management, forecasting, and deal execution
  • Ability to balance hands-on involvement with people leadership
