Requirements
  • You have a history of performing and hitting goals - you’ll do what it takes to win.
  • You are a proven leader in both title and influence - you've had experience leading a winning team.
  • You've got software prospecting chops, honed from cycles in the high-stakes world of fast paced B2B SaaS companies.
  • You're a prospecting expert, as comfortable with cold calls and LinkedIn as I am with witty banter.
  • Accountability is your middle name.
  • You've got a knack for leadership and coaching, like if Yoda went corporate.
  • You're a communication wizard, breaking down complex ideas into snackable bites.
  • You're the hype human - keeping spirits high even when the chips are down.
  • You’re a pro at managing and prioritizing your calendar.
  • Data is your sidekick, and AI is your trusty steed (ideally you’re already invested in using AI in your work).
Responsibilities
  • Be the Coach: your primary role is to coach, mentor and motivate our team. Channel your inner Ted Lasso with pep talks that would make even a sloth run a marathon - both 1:1 and in group settings. Be prepared to help AEs with deal strategies, call feedback, and ideas on how to move a deal along.
  • Performance-Focused: figure out how you need to invest in every AE to get them performing as well as possible - celebrate AEs when they hit their goals, find challenges for your top performers, and lean into hard conversations and decisions around performance when it’s not there.
  • Metrics & Data Driven: in order to effectively coach, you need to be able to diagnose where an AE should focus to improve and unlock their potential. Looking at indicators (leading and lagging) for those on your team to ensure we crush our goals! You manage reports and dashboards like you're the curator of the world's most exciting museum of numbers.
  • Experiment & Iterate: you’re constantly looking for opportunities to elevate yourself, those around you, and our processes. Whether that means you’re reviewing playbooks, researching new best practices, or writing emails for AEs to use, you need to constantly be thinking 'where can we improve' and run with a plan to implement improvements.
  • Talent Scout: recruit, interview, and onboard new AEs with the eye of a talent agent looking for the next big star.
