Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money’.

We are looking for a passionate and results-driven Senior Sales Manager with a builder mindset to help us expand our horizons and drive our growth to new heights. You will be pivotal in developing a net new acquisition sales motion (Direct channel), identifying and capitalizing on business opportunities, forging strategic partnerships, and driving revenue growth.

Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a winning Sales team culture, establish a foundation in a scrappy environment, and contribute to our success story.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Lead, manage and coach a world-class team of Account Executives on our Direct team
Build and execute our net new acquisition B2B sales motion
Identify opportunities in the business and execute projects to improve our sales process, strategy and playbooks
Partner and collaborate with cross-functional teams including Marketing, Revenue Operations, Sales Enablement, etc.
Stay abreast of industry trends and market dynamics to inform sales strategies
Analyze data and feedback to refine and optimize approaches for maximum impact

Who You Are:

You have 3-5 years of experience managing and leading a Sales team, ideally within a startup environment
You are results-oriented with a track record of meeting and exceeding targets
You have a creative and strategic mindset with a knack for identifying and amplifying market opportunities
You are passionate about coaching and the development of people
You have operational rigor – you are always looking for ways to solve and improve technical and process inefficiencies that impact the sales funnel

Bonus Points:

You have prior experience in B2B SaaS, fintech or a neobank
You have worked with SMBs in North America

We give you the baton–you run the Relay.
