You’ll inherit an established enterprise team and book of business and modernize the playbooks, sales process, and partner ecosystem to set the standard for world-class enterprise selling, and then prove it works. Enterprise buyers expect a platform story, a security partner who understands their business, and a seller who can navigate procurement, security review, and complex, multi-stakeholder deals, frequently alongside channel partners. We’re looking for a leader who can build a consultative, solution-selling culture, deepen partner relationships, and drive measurable growth in enterprise bookings - fast. For this role, our Lexington, MA offices are preferred (hybrid work schedule) but we'd consider other US cities as well (remote).


What You'll Do
  • Elevate and execute Mimecast’s enterprise revenue growth strategy, driving new-logo acquisition and expansion across strategic prospects and customers.

  • Coach, develop, and grow the existing enterprise sales and account management teams while building a high-performance, consultative selling culture.

  • Modernize the enterprise sales process, deal desk, account segmentation, and playbooks to improve execution and deepen key customer relationships.

  • Shift the organization from transactional selling to consultative, platform-led solution selling, partnering with Product to build motions for target enterprise verticals.

  • Collaborate with senior Product, Engineering, and Marketing leaders to make enterprise sales a board-level growth lever.

  • Modernize and scale Mimecast’s channel-inclusive enterprise go-to-market motion across VARs, MSSPs, distributors, and technology alliance partners, strengthening joint account planning, deal registration, and partner engagement standards.

  • Partner with Customer Experience and Renewals to improve retention and expansion, prioritize whitespace, and implement multi-year contracts, pricing guardrails, and 90–120-day early-engagement renewal motions that mitigate downsell and churn.

  • Drive rigorous pipeline and activity tracking, forecasting accountability, and operational precision, using data, automation, and AI-powered tools to improve predictability, velocity, and win rates while keeping the human element front and center.

  • Represent enterprise sales in executive forums, including weekly pipeline reviews and strategic planning, while coordinating with Customer Success, Marketing, and Channel to deliver a seamless enterprise customer experience.

  • Monitor market, competitive, and customer trends and translate insights into focused sales strategies and execution priorities.


What You'll Bring

  • Experience leading a scaled, revenue-focused SaaS organization, ideally at meaningful scale—preferably $100M+ in revenue—and driving growth through scaling journeys.

  • Deep understanding of subscription-based, recurring-revenue SaaS business models and platform selling across multiple product lines.

  • Demonstrated success building and scaling enterprise go-to-market motions with VARs, resellers, MSSPs, or distributors, including co-selling, deal registration, and joint account planning.

  • A track record of improving net retention and mitigating downsell and churn across an enterprise book of business through strategies such as multi-year contracts, early renewal engagement, and pricing and negotiation guardrails.

  • Data- and metrics-driven leadership experience, including structuring and improving KPIs, setting quotas and budgets, shaping sales compensation plans, and using analytics to monitor pipeline health and seller effectiveness.

  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills, with a track record of hiring, mentoring, developing, and retaining successful sales leaders.

  • Experience instilling operational excellence in a sales organization and implementing and optimizing best-in-class processes and systems.

  • Experience partnering with Product to build verticalized sales motions grounded in specific industries and real customer workflows.
