This is an opportunity for a hands‑on, metrics‑driven leader who can drive new logo growth, expand strategic accounts, and elevate sales operating cadence (forecasting, pipeline discipline, performance management).

• Partner cross‑functionally (delivery/operations, marketing, finance, product/service leaders) to ensure strong client outcomes and retention
• Navigate complex, multi‑stakeholder sales cycles and negotiate high‑value agreements
• Represent the company externally with executive presence and credibility

Qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive sales leadership experience, including leading leaders
• Track record of scaling revenue beyond $500M+ in a complex, consultative sales environment
• Strong executive communication and ability to influence C‑suite stakeholders
• Data‑driven approach to performance management, forecasting, and process
• Willingness to travel periodically (limited to moderate)

Leadership Attributes We Value

• Integrity and sound judgment
• High ownership / bias for action
• Team‑first leadership style with strong coaching capability
