What You’ll Do

We’re seeking a dynamic, data‑driven Sales Director to accelerate growth across SMB and Enterprise segments. This is a high‑impact, quota‑carrying leadership role for someone who combines analytical precision, commercial creativity, and a hands‑on drive to close major deals while directly leading our sales team.

You’ll lead a motivated team and refine the go‑to‑market strategy in a constantly evolving environment. If you love winning fast, improving systems, and inspiring others to outperform expectations, this role is for you.

• Lead & Inspire: Build, mentor, and motivate a high‑performance sales organization focused on exceeding targets and improving close rates on a predominantly inbound pipeline.
• Own the Revenue Engine: Define and execute a scalable inbound‑led sales strategy aligned with company goals, while layering in targeted outbound and ABM where it makes sense.
• Own the revenue number, personally and through the team: Carry a quota while leading the broader team, ensuring clear accountability for pipeline, forecast, and revenue outcomes.
• Own the full SMB and Enterprise sales motions: Run and continuously refine sales processes for both high‑velocity SMB deals and longer‑cycle Enterprise opportunities, ensuring repeatability and clear stage definitions.
• Close Complex Deals: Personally engage in strategic negotiations and enterprise opportunities, ensuring critical wins are brought across the line.
• Optimize Systems & Data: Use analytics and HubSpot to improve forecasting, conversion efficiency, and pipeline visibility.
• Cross‑Functional Leadership: Partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to optimize lead quality, customer experience, and retention.
• Scale channel‑led revenue: Collaborate with and enable key channel partners (e‑commerce platforms, agencies, and technology partners) to drive pipeline.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in sales leadership, including experience scaling high‑performing teams in SaaS or e‑commerce.
• Channel sales experience, including working with technology and agency partners to build joint go‑to‑market plays, partner enablement, and shared pipeline targets.
• Proven record of improving close rates and accelerating revenue growth.
• Strong analytical and technical skills; fluent in pipeline metrics and conversion optimization.
• Deep working knowledge of HubSpot or equivalent CRM tools.
• Proven success operating in an inbound‑led environment, including experience optimizing lead response, routing, SLAs, and conversion from MQL → SQL → closed‑won.
• Strategic thinker with entrepreneurial instincts; thrives in agile, fast‑changing environments.
• Exceptional communication and negotiation skills with a history of closing complex deals.
• Experience in capital‑efficient, ROI‑led organizations preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field (MBA a plus).

We are an agile, fast‑moving team that likes to roll up our sleeves and solve some of the biggest issues in shipping.
