SVP OF SALES

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are hiring a Senior Vice President of Sales to lead and transform our go-to-market organization. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has built and scaled sales teams before, knows how to bring rigor and structure to a growing practice, and leads by example in a competitive market.

The SVP will inherit a team of talented sellers and be charged with one clear mission: build a modern, process-driven sales organization that generates predictable, scalable revenue growth.

ROLE AT A GLANCE

  • Function: Sales
  • Level: Senior Vice President
  • Reports To: Chief Executive Officer

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Team Leadership and Development

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of 8 Account Executives and 2 Sales Operations professionals
  • Architect and execute the transition from a combined hunting/farming model to two distinct, focused teams
  • Build a culture of accountability, urgency, and continuous improvement
  • Recruit and backfill as the team scales

Sales Process and Operational Rigor

  • Define and implement a repeatable sales process with clear qualification criteria, deal stages, and entry/exit requirements
  • Drive HubSpot adoption across the team; build the reporting infrastructure to support real-time pipeline visibility
  • Establish forecast discipline and predictable revenue cadences
  • Own pipeline generation targets; build the motion that gets the team proactively sourcing new opportunities

Revenue Growth

  • Drive 15-20% growth in software sales in year one
  • 3x pipeline and lead generation through structured outbound and territory development
  • Partner with leadership on go-to-market strategy, pricing, and packaging as the business evolves

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN YEAR ONE

  • Sales process fully documented and adopted across the team
  • HubSpot live and consistently used for forecasting and pipeline management
  • Hunters and farmers operating as distinct, focused motions
  • 3x pipeline generation vs. baseline
  • 15-20% growth in software revenue
  • Forecast accuracy and predictability established

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Experience

  • 10+ years in enterprise technology or ERP sales, with at least 3-5 years in a sales leadership role
  • Proven track record of building or rebuilding a sales organization from a reactive to a proactive motion
  • Direct experience selling ERP or enterprise applications is required; adjacent enterprise tech may be considered
  • Experience implementing or optimizing a CRM (HubSpot preferred) and building sales processes from the ground up
  • Demonstrated success managing quota-carrying AEs and hitting team-level revenue targets

Skills and Competencies

  • Process builder: You don't inherit a playbook, you write one
  • Coach and developer: Your team gets better because of you
  • Operator: You run tight forecasts, clean pipelines, and make data-driven decisions
  • Hunter mindset: You model the outbound behavior you expect from the team
  • Change agent: You can shift a culture without breaking what's working

COMPENSATION

  • Split: 50/50 base and variable
  • Ramp period: 3-6 months
