- Standardize the sales methodology, pipeline stages, playbook, and onboarding processes to rapidly ramp up incoming team members.
- Recruit, train, and manage sales professionals, fostering a high-performance culture focused on enterprise pipeline velocity.
- Partner with Marketing to scale lead-generation engines and with Product to loop financial client feedback directly into the development roadmap.
- Manage the sales budget and P&L, leading and driving financial accountability across the sales organization.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of sales experience within the financial sector, with at least 2+ years of leadership experience driving commercial growth while maintaining a strong individual track record of hitting personal quotas.
