Our mission is to become the largest supply chain that holds no inventory, providing a seamless connection between supply and global demand. We empower our partners with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive market. • MaxRetail is a two-sided marketplace that helps independent retailers turn overstock inventory into revenue. We are hiring a Director of Sales to own the retailer acquisition engine: keep our current motion running, hit closing and conversion targets, and scale the team, playbooks and automation behind it. • This is a hands-on leadership role. You will coach reps on calls, run role plays, staff tradeshow booths, and own the forecast. You will also partner with RevOps and Product to automate what can be automated and remove the bottlenecks that slow new retailer growth. • MaxRetail is moving from a sales led to a product led growth model. You will lead that shift for the sales team: keep closing today while building the self-serve paths, automation and handoffs that let the product acquire and convert more retailers on its own. Your team's focus will move toward the deals and moments where a human adds the most value.
