- Develop sales KPIs, forecasting cadence, and performance management rigor
- Train and develop future sales leaders (“train the trainers”)
- Partner with operations and recruiting leadership to remove execution friction
- Improve forecast accuracy and leadership visibility into revenue performance
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience rebuilding or scaling a sales organization, not just managing one
- Strong hands-on sales leader who coaches, teaches, and inspects
- Background in multi-vertical staffing strongly preferred
- Comfortable selling beyond VMS-only environments
- Track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong sales talent
- High energy, modern leadership style that can reset culture without breaking it
