Responsibilities What you’ll do:
  • Coach and develop a team of Strategic Account Executives to consistently hit and exceed their monthly and quarterly revenue targets.

  • Master the "Player-Coach" balance, jumping into high-stakes demos and negotiations to help your team close strategic opportunities.

  • Experience navigating pilots/proof of concepts with prospects.

  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to command a room.

  • Deep familiarity with modern sales stacks (e.g., Salesforce, Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, etc.).

Why you’ll love working here:
  • You’ll be part of a high-performing leadership team that values collaboration, learning, and execution.

  • High-impact ownership—you aren't just a cog in the wheel; you are the architect of your team's success.

  • A culture that prizes mastery, ownership, and curiosity.
