• You are able to effectively manage and prioritize a long list of projects and action items.

• You have a successful track record of closing full-cycle deals and managing high-value existing customers within a platform or SaaS company. 
• You are inherently curious and are comfortable selling a highly technical platform.
• You are comfortable acting as the “executive” in your reps’ deals, which entails talking at a strategic level, acting as a sponsor for both the rep and the customer, and making the hard decisions when needed.
• You have at least 4 years in Sales and at least 12 months in a management position.

What?

• Lead a team of AEs and manage the day-to-day operations that come along with it.
• Hire and retain top diverse talent, and be focused on their success and career progression.
• Conduct weekly 1:1's with each team member, providing tactical and strategic deal guidance, training, and career development. 
• Help your team build and progress pipeline, work across functions (finance, marketing, product) to execute complex deals, and lead strategic prospect and customer meetings. 
• Ensure your team maintains accurate and up-to-date CRM information, and run weekly forecast calls with both your team and up to management. 
• Identify and work cross functionally to resolve inefficiencies in systems and processes.
