Job description

The Director, Sales Programs is a senior leader responsible for designing and executing the sales programs that accelerate pipeline growth, improve seller productivity, and drive bookings performance across FCC's CT Corporation and Compliance Solutions businesses. The role sits at the intersection of sales strategy, go-to-market execution, pipeline generation, sales enablement, and marketing, and translates FCC business priorities into scalable programs with measurable commercial outcomes.

The Director partners closely with FCC Sales Leadership to identify growth opportunities, assess pipeline performance, and build targeted initiatives - new logo acquisition plays, cross-sell and expansion motions, service-to-sales programs, retention programs, and product launch support - and then brings those programs to life with frontline sales and service teams. The role owns the end-to-end strategy, governance, and execution of FCC sales programs and ensures alignment with business unit priorities, divisional objectives, and revenue targets.

The successful candidate is strategic, data-driven, and hands-on: comfortable analyzing sales data, building executive-ready recommendations, coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, and driving field adoption. This leader serves as a trusted advisor to sales leadership and builds and develops a high-performing Sales Programs team.

• Scale successful programs across FCC business units and segments while allowing for business-specific flexibility.
• Continuously optimize programs based on performance insights, market conditions, and shifting business priorities.

Pipeline & Commercial Performance

• Partner with Sales Leadership to understand pipeline gaps by segment, product, and territory and build targeted programs to close them.
• Direct analysis of pipeline health, conversion rates, seller productivity, account penetration, and customer engagement metrics.
• Establish performance frameworks, success metrics, and inspection rhythms to measure program effectiveness.
