About the Role – Senior Sales Manager (or Sales Director)
This is not a “sit in the tower” leadership role. We're seeking a hands-on, high-accountability sales leader who will transform a stable, capable but under-coached/mentored team into a high-performing, outbound-first sales machine.

Reporting into the VP of Sales and working closely with marketing, you’ll lead both Account Executives and BDRs in an environment that prizes urgency, structure, and clarity. The company is aiming for 50% YoY growth — and you'll be a key driver of that trajectory and shaper of that strategy.
 
Key Responsibilities:
Lead, coach, and motivate AE & BDR teams to consistently hit and exceed targets Own top-of-funnel metrics including dials, connect rate, pipeline creation, show rate, and conversions Build and optimize outbound sales strategies and cadences; help shift the culture from reactive to proactive Conduct regular coaching and call reviews; participate in high-value opportunities as a player-coach Drive sales enablement and onboarding with support from marketing and revops Partner cross-functionally with founders, CS, and product to deliver revenue insights and feedback loops Help push the team up-market toward larger mid-market and enterprise accounts (deal sizes $25K–$80K+) What Experience You Need
