About the role

  • Partner with the Vice President of Sales to execute our new logo acquisition strategy, and translate company growth goals into clear team expectations.
  • Lead the Account Executive team with a clear focus on pipeline generation, funnel conversion, forecast accuracy, and quota attainment.
  • Establish and reinforce clear funnel conversion benchmarks (MQL → SAL → SQL → Closed Won).
  • Build a culture where pipeline is generated daily and managed proactively.
  • Own 3x+ pipeline coverage to support predictable attainment.
  • Ensure every MQL is dispositioned, every SAL is qualified, and no opportunity stalls.
  • Drive outbound rigor to ensure a minimum of 25% of pipeline is sales-generated.
  • Run weekly funnel inspections to identify breakdowns in lead quality vs. rep execution.
  • Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene — stages reflect reality, not optimism.
  • Conduct structured 1:1s focused on skill development, deal strategy, and performance improvement.
  • Lead live deal reviews and role-play sessions to strengthen discovery, objection handling, and closing execution.
  • Coach AEs on multi-threading, executive alignment, and competitive positioning.
  • Develop individualized performance improvement plans tied to measurable conversion and revenue metrics.
  • Identify team-wide skill gaps and build targeted training initiatives to close them.
  • Help reps understand their personal conversion metrics and where they need to improve.
  • Hire, develop, and retain high-performing Account Executives.
  • Proactively manage territory and capacity to maximize opportunity coverage.
  • Run structured weekly pipeline reviews centered on close plans, risk identification, and next-step clarity.
  • Maintain high forecast accuracy and commit integrity.
  • Replace “hope” with data-backed qualification standards.
  • Coach reps through stuck deals and competitive displacement scenarios.
  • Partner with RevOps to design dashboards tracking funnel performance and conversion trends.
  • Collaborate with Marketing to ensure strong MQL quality and fast feedback loops.
  • Reinforce alignment between inbound pipeline, outbound generation, and revenue outcomes.
  • Continuously refine messaging and positioning based on win/loss analysis.

Requirements

  • You’ve led from the front. You bring 5+ years of experience as a quota-carrying B2B SaaS seller and 3+ years leading Account Executives in a new logo environment. You know what great looks like.
  • You know how to build a number, not just report on one. You have a track record of improving funnel conversion, strengthening pipeline health, and driving consistent new logo growth through disciplined execution.
  • You’re a coach first. You genuinely enjoy developing talent. You know how to use feedback, repetition, deal review, and clear expectations to help reps improve.
  • You’re a funnel diagnostician. You quickly identify whether performance gaps stem from lead quality, skill execution, or qualification rigor.
  • You’re operationally sharp. You have experience managing forecast rigor and pipeline health within Salesforce, and you use data and process discipline to drive predictable outcomes.
  • You raise the bar. You create high standards and make average uncomfortable. You believe strong teams are built through consistency and candor.
  • You like momentum. You thrive in an environment where pace matters and there’s real opportunity to shape outcomes.
Benefits
  • Impactful insurance and benefit options, including 2 medical plans to choose from, 100% coverage of employee dental and vision insurance premiums, HSA seed, company-paid STD, LTD, life insurance, and telemedicine, and a wellness benefit of $400/year.
  • Policies that support a healthy work/life harmony, including Flexible PTO, 14 paid company holidays, paid parental leave, and give back days
  • 401(k) with 4% company match and immediate vesting
  • A fully remote work culture with a monthly remote work reimbursement ($600/year) to support our distributed team and an annual, in-person company kickoff
  • Challenging problems to solve with a committed and supportive team who are invested in your growth and development
  • A wonderfully quirky culture where you’re encouraged to bring your whole self to work
