This leader will manage a team of Account Executives while operating as a senior-level force multiplier—shaping strategy, influencing cross-functional alignment, and proactively owning initiatives that accelerate segment performance.

Exceptional candidates are proactive operators who elevate standards, solve ambiguous problems, and demonstrate the ability to scale both people and processes. If you're motivated by driving meaningful impact, owning outcomes, and playing a critical leadership role in a high-growth environment, this role is for you.

What you’ll do

DRIVE HIGH-PERFORMANCE SALES EXECUTION

• Achieve and consistently exceed sales targets through exceptional team leadership and selective individual contributions.
• Build a culture of account-based execution excellence, ensuring multi-threading rigor, clear activity expectations, and consistent accountability across the team.
• Implement and maintain high-quality forecasting discipline, ensuring predictability and transparency into pipeline health and revenue expectations.
• Drive improvements in ACVs, win rates, sales cycle efficiency, and ramp time through coaching, enablement alignment, and process discipline.

OWN STRATEGIC INITIATIVES ACROSS THE BUSINESS

• Proactively identify, define, and drive strategic initiatives that improve productivity, sales execution, segment performance, or how the org scales.
• Serve as a key partner to Marketing, Product, RevOps, Enablement, and Solutions Engineering, ensuring tight alignment on GTM motions and surfacing customer and market insights.
• Influence product roadmap, messaging, and market strategy by contributing meaningful, pattern-based feedback from the field.
• Act as a cross-functional liaison to prioritize initiatives that impact win rates, deal velocity, and the enterprise customer decision process.

LEAD WITH A SENIOR-LEVEL MINDSET

• Operate as a thought leader within the Enterprise program, shaping how the segment scales and proactively identifying risks and opportunities before they surface.
• Step up—without being asked—to solve ambiguous problems, bring clarity to the team, and deliver high-impact work that moves the business forward.
• Demonstrate executive presence in internal forums, customer and prospect conversations, and leadership discussions—representing the Enterprise segment credibly at the highest levels.
• Bring forward actionable market and account-level observations, and recommend clear next steps that help the business scale responsibly and efficiently.

COACH, DEVELOP, AND PERFORMANCE MANAGE

• Set clear expectations for account-based execution, multi-threading, deal hygiene, and enterprise sales fundamentals.
• Hold the team accountable to activity, impact, and results, driving a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.
• Implement structured, data-informed performance management to elevate or exit reps based on consistent trends, not lagging indicators.
• Mentor AEs to become exceptional operators—improving qualification rigor, account and territory planning, and executive engagement strategy.

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years leading quota-carrying enterprise/strategic sales teams, ideally in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment.
• 10+ years in quota-carrying sales roles, with a track record of consistently exceeding targets in complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals.
• Demonstrated success building and scaling enterprise sales motions — including account planning, territory design, and multi-threaded engagement strategies with large organizations.
• Experience coaching reps on navigating long, complex sales cycles: multi-stakeholder buying committees, procurement, legal, and executive-level negotiations.
• Strong analytical and strategic skill set, with experience in forecasting accuracy, account segmentation, and identifying levers to improve win rates and deal velocity at the enterprise level.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional partners (Marketing, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Legal) and drive alignment on enterprise go-to-market strategy.
• High executive presence with the ability to engage and build trust with C-suite and senior buyer personas, both directly and in support of the team.
• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to lead teams through organizational change, market shifts, or evolving go-to-market strategy.
• A track record of strong performance management, mentorship, and developing sellers capable of running strategic, high-value deal cycles.
• Ability to operate independently, think strategically about account and territory strategy, and contribute to broader go-to-market planning as the business scales.
