This role is ideal for a proven dealmaker who thrives in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment.

Close deals directly, prioritizing speed and efficiency to achieve aggressive revenue targets.

Monitor pipeline health and forecast revenue, ensuring the timely progression of opportunities at each stage.

Revenue Growth Leadership :

Build and maintain a robust pipeline to 10x Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) within 24 months.

Prioritize high-value accounts and industries with significant potential for growth, including tech, retail, financial services, and healthcare.

Leverage insights from client interactions to refine value propositions and optimize the sales approach.

Team Expansion and Enablement :

Closely manage lead generation efforts with sales priorities, ensuring a steady flow of qualified opportunities.

Scale the sales team as needed to meet growth targets, recruiting and onboarding additional sales representatives to maximize coverage.

Provide hands-on coaching and support to the team, ensuring alignment with the company's sales methodology and goals.

Collaboration and Execution :

Monitor and report on sales performance metrics to track progress, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement.

Collaborate with product and operations teams to ensure client feedback informs product enhancements and delivery excellence.

Qualifications

Proven track record of driving revenue growth to $10M ARR, ideally in B2B SaaS or enterprise services targeting HR leaders or similar decision-makers.

Exceptional sales execution skills, with a focus on dealmaking and pipeline acceleration.

Experience selling to CHROs, Total Rewards Officers, or HR leadership teams.

Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and closing skills.

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, resource constrained, entrepreneurial environment with competing priorities.

Experience scaling and leading sales teams to achieve ambitious revenue goals.
