- Represent the organization at key conferences and industry events, strengthening market presence and customer relationships.
- Partner closely with the CEO, Product, and Customer Success teams to refine messaging, pricing, product positioning, and go-to-market strategy.
- Maintain rigorous pipeline management and forecasting while providing transparent, detailed reporting on sales performance and team results.
- Continuously identify opportunities to improve sales execution, market expansion, and organizational effectiveness.
Requirements:
- Proven track record building and scaling a sales organization within a Series A–D SaaS company, including taking a relatively unknown business through significant market growth.
- Strong new-business and hunter mentality, with enthusiasm for winning new logos and creating the structure required for a sales team to succeed.
- Demonstrated ability to identify, coach, develop, and retain high-performing sales professionals while addressing performance issues decisively and constructively.
- Strong commercial judgment, forecasting discipline, and pipeline management skills.
- Intellectual curiosity and the ability to understand complex sales environments, including government structures, local challenges, legal frameworks, and procurement processes.
- Strong customer orientation and the ability to establish trusted relationships with public-sector and institutional decision-makers.
- Hands-on selling mindset and willingness to remain deeply involved in strategic deals while building and scaling the broader team.
- Excellent leadership, communication, analytical, and organizational skills.
- Experience operating effectively in a distributed and remote environment.
- Based in or willing to relocate to the U.S. Eastern or Central Time Zones, with an East Coast location preferred.
- Experience as a founder with demonstrated commercial traction is a strong advantage.
