  • Support recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and long-term development of sales talent.
  • Proactively provide feedback and recommendations to leadership to evolve team strategy, tools, and performance models
  • Facilitate evaluations, reviews, and performance plans while maintaining proper documentation

What you bring to the table :

  • Proven leadership experience building and developing high-performing B2B sales teams, preferably in key account or enterprise environments

  • Exceptional communication, coaching, and interpersonal skills
  • Natural cross-functional collaborator who aligns with Marketing, Customer Success, Strategy, and Operations
  • Track record of fostering a high-engagement, inclusive culture and driving measurable team performance
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment that requires cross-functional collaboration and adaptability
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 15% for customer meetings, reviews, and industry events across the US
  • Passion for developing talent, driving enterprise growth, and championing customer success

  • Proven collaboration with cross-functional teams (Marketing, Customer Service, Sales Strategy) on integrated go-to-market plans
  • Track record of building inclusive, high-engagement team cultures that retain top talent and deliver consistent results
  • We Offer :
