Experience managing a team of Account Executives delivering multi-million ARR/yr at a growth-stage SaaS company.
Proven track record of hiring and onboarding new Account Executives who quickly become top performers, challenging and supporting their career growth.

A strong mental model for what sales excellence looks like with an openness to new ideas, experimentation, and jumping into deals without boxing out oneself from executive relationships with customers.
Responsibilities
Be accountable for the revenue results of the segment. Understand the primary revenue drivers for the segment, focus your team's energy on high-impact activities, and partner with Marketing on pipeline generating initiatives.
Provide consistent coaching to enable all Account Executives to achieve their full potential. Identify themes for improvement with individuals and at the team level. Help reps grow in their sales career.
Make high quality hires in lock step with market demand. In general we believe that smaller, high caliber teams can achieve remarkable results.
In this role, you’ll report to our Head of Sales, EMEA (Jack Hanratty) and have a significant impact in defining our go-to-market strategy. The best part about Mid-Market is the combination of high velocity and high value deals and we're already very good at winning both. If we are even moderately successful relative to our ambition, we'll have an incredible growth story to tell in just a few years.
