  • Conduct regular pipeline reviews, forecast calls, and deal strategy sessions

  • Help reps improve discovery, qualification, demo delivery, negotiation, and closing skills

  • Set clear performance expectations and provide ongoing feedback and coaching

  • Conduct performance reviews and support career development planning

  • Partner with leadership to establish sales goals, processes, and operating rhythms

  • Identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement across the sales organization

  • Participate in recruiting efforts, including interviewing and helping attract top sales talent

  • Serve as a trusted resource for reps throughout the sales cycle

What You'll Bring
  • Significant experience selling B2B SaaS solutions

  • Experience managing and developing quota-carrying sales teams

  • Strong track record of coaching reps to exceed performance goals

  • Deep understanding of sales process, pipeline management, forecasting, and deal execution

  • Ability to balance hands-on involvement with people leadership

  • Excellent communication, coaching, and relationship-building skills

  • High standards, strong accountability, and a genuine desire to help others succeed
