The RoleWe're looking for a highly driven
Sales Team Lead to help scale revenue at Conveo by leading from the front.
This is a player coach role. You will lead a team of ~5 Account Executives while carrying your own individual quota. You'll be responsible for the performance, development, and commercial output of the team, and at the same time you'll be running your own strategic deals and showing the team what great looks like in practice.
You will report directly to the Global VP of Sales and work closely with marketing, BDR, and customer success to ensure the team is converting pipeline efficiently, executing consistently, and landing the kind of customers that compound our growth.
This is not a role for someone who wants to step back from selling. The best person for this job loves closing deals, loves coaching reps, and refuses to choose between the two.

- Inspect pipeline rigorously and make sure deals are qualified, multi-threaded, and progressing
- Hold the team to a clear standard on CRM hygiene, MEDDICC (or equivalent), and deal documentation
- Surface risk early and intervene on critical deals before they slip
4. Improve how the team sells- Identify what is and isn't working in the team's motion and fix it quickly
- Refine playbooks, talk tracks, objection handling, and competitive positioning with the team
- Partner with marketing and BDR to make sure pipeline coverage and quality are where they need to be
- Feed insights from the field back into product, pricing, and packaging conversations
5. Represent Conveo externally- Show up for the team's biggest deals when senior sponsorship is needed
- Represent Conveo at events, customer meetings, and executive conversations around the world
- Build relationships with senior stakeholders at the world's largest brands

What great looks like- A natural player coach who would never ask a rep to do something they wouldn't do themselves
- Commercially sharp, highly proactive, and obsessed with outcomes rather than activity
- Strong sense of ownership and personal accountability for the team's number
- Coaches in a way that levels reps up quickly rather than doing the work for them
- Low ego, high urgency, and direct in feedback
