• Problem solving & strategy: Use data to identify performance gaps and opportunities, and develop plans to address them quickly.
• Pipeline & forecast management: Regularly track, analyze, and report on team and individual performance against goals; forecast pipeline and revenue contribution accurately.
• Cross-functional leadership: Partner cross functionality with Operations, Marketing, Programs, Strategy, and Sales Leadership to align on business priorities, campaign follow-up, and market strategy.

Your Qualifications

• 3+ years of sales leadership experience leading teams of 7+ quota-carrying reps (preferably in business development, inside sales, or SDR/BDR environments).
• Proven track record of delivering on pipeline and revenue goals.
• Strong executive presence, communication, and presentation skills.
