Job description

At Sana Commerce we're committed to an inclusive environment and recognize that our diverse workforce is one of our greatest strengths.

At Sana Commerce, we simplify B2B commerce complexity, connect digital journeys, and provide intelligent guidance that helps manufacturers grow. We are a fast-moving SaaS company creating the future of connected commerce, looking for experienced professionals who are ready to take ownership of their careers and drive predictable outcomes for our customers.

Our goal is clear: we make digital B2B buying as trusted and guided as a conversation with a top sales rep. When commerce runs natively on the data the business already runs on, manual work disappears, trust returns, and manufacturers move beyond efficiency into true growth.

At Sana Commerce, we’re looking for a Sales Director to own new business revenue globally, from pipeline generation to close. As we scale, this role is key to turning our direct sales motion into a predictable growth engine.

• Personally driving strategic and enterprise deals from first conversation to close, including executive sponsorship and negotiation.
• Bringing in a consistent sales methodology (such as MEDDICC), regular deal reviews and disciplined forecasting.
• Driving CRM hygiene, sales process and tooling in partnership with Revenue Operations.

Team building and leadership

• Laying the foundations for a high-performance, accountable sales culture as the direct sales team grows.
• Hiring, onboarding, coaching and developing account executives, and planning the team’s future growth.
• Setting clear goals, territories, quotas and compensation plans in partnership with Finance and HR.

Cross-functional collaboration

• Aligning with Marketing on pipeline targets, ICP and campaigns.
• Working with Pre-Sales on discovery, demos and technical validation for live deals.
• Partnering with Partner Management on partner-sourced and co-sold opportunities.
• Working with Customer Success to ensure smooth handovers, expansion and retention.
• Feeding market and customer insights back to Product to help shape the roadmap.

Qualifications

What you'll bring

• 10–15 years of sales experience in B2B SaaS, with a consistent record of meeting or beating targets and selling complex solutions to mid-market and enterprise buyers.

• Proven success in a global or multi-region role, working across different cultures and markets.
• Experience selling into either the BENEFR, UK, US or DACH market.
