About the Role

Reporting to our Chief Revenue Officer, the Senior Director, Global SMB Sales will lead our global SMB sales organisation of around 35 people, playing a highly visible role in how we serve, retain and grow our small and mid-sized staffing and recruitment customers. This is a strategic, operational and highly visible leadership role, with responsibility for developing predominantly entry-level sales talent, improving retention across a $45M+ revenue base, managing significant escalations, and driving commercial performance in a high-volume, transactional environment. You'll work closely with Sales Operations, Marketing, Sales Enablement, Customer Success and Product to keep our SMB strategy and go-to-market aligned to customer and market needs, and you'll be a key partner to our CXT, leading monthly OLTs that help shape strategic change across the business. This is a global role - hybrid, with a minimum of three days a week in a local Bullhorn office, plus regular international travel - and it isn't a conventional 9-5; you'll need to work flexibly across time zones when the business genuinely needs it.

A typical day will include

• Leading and developing a global SMB sales organisation, setting the vision, strategy and performance expectations for the function
• Coaching frontline managers and entry-level sales representatives, and building scalable approaches to onboarding, development and succession planning
• Taking a leadership role in improving retention across our $45M+ SMB revenue base, using customer data, market intelligence and frontline insight to spot risks and opportunities
• Developing a deep understanding of the SMB staffing and recruitment market, and translating shifts in customer behaviour and industry dynamics into clear recommendations for leadership
• Leading monthly OLTs with CXT, bringing together customer insight, commercial data and frontline feedback to align stakeholders around priorities
• Acting as a senior escalation point for significant customer, commercial and internal issues, and turning recurring themes into systemic improvements
• Representing Bullhorn and the SMB business externally, including speaking at industry events and building relationships with customers, partners and industry leaders
• Operating effectively across multiple geographies, cultures and time zones, adapting your schedule when global teams or customers genuinely need it

This role is a fit for you if

• You have significant experience leading B2B SaaS sales organisations, ideally in an SMB, high-volume or transactional environment
• You have proven experience leading globally distributed teams of around 30+ people, including frontline reps and managers
• You have a strong track record of developing entry-level and early-career sales talent
• You've demonstrably improved commercial performance and customer retention across a significant revenue base
• You have experience operating with C-suite and executive leadership teams, and presenting strategic recommendations that influence organisational change
• You have strong commercial and analytical skills, and experience managing significant customer and commercial escalations
• You're an exceptional communicator, confident presenting to executives, customers, sales teams and industry audiences
• You're willing and able to travel internationally and work flexibly across time zones when required
• A strong understanding of the staffing and recruitment technology market is a plus, though we're just as happy with a demonstrable ability to quickly get up to speed

The annual on-target earnings for this role is $275,000, which includes a base salary of $165,000, plus commission, in addition to a comprehensive benefits package.
