Our Sales Development organization is a critical part of Box's growth strategy. The team creates new customer relationships, identifies meaningful business opportunities, and generates qualified pipeline across the sales segments it supports. As Director, Sales Development you will lead and develop a team of Sales Development Managers and their teams. You will help translate Box's broader go-to-market priorities into focused execution, improve team productivity and effectiveness, and build a consistent, scalable pipeline-generation engine. You will also contribute to the continued transformation of Sales Development by combining strong sales fundamentals with modern operating practices, AI, automation, intent signals, experimentation, and data-driven prioritization.

Your impact at Box

Translate broader strategy into effective outbound execution across account prioritization, persona coverage, messaging, sequencing, multi-threaded prospecting, and coordinated go-to-market plays.
• Build a Disciplined Experimentation Engine: Establish repeatable processes for testing new audiences, buyer hypotheses, messages, channels, and prospecting motions. Quickly identify and scale what works, codify learnings into repeatable playbooks, and help develop industry- and use-case-specific programs grounded in customer pain points, relevant proof points, stakeholder needs, and Box's value proposition.
• Cultivate Cohesive Leadership: Coach and develop Sales Development managers, help implement leadership development programs, and strengthen leadership practices that foster cohesion, development, and accountability. Build effective succession plans and maintain high performance across a hybrid working environment.
