Some context about the roleT his role carries the title Sales Director to reflect the seniority, deal complexity, and executive-level relationships it requires , it does not manage a team. You'll own a defined list of named target accounts, enterprise organizations of 1,000 to 50,000 employees, and you'll be responsible for building and closing your own pipeline within that list, working across buying committees that span HR, People Analytics, IT, and often Finance or Legal, reporting directly to our Chief Revenue Officer, Doug las Freeman.
Pipeline creation is the core of this job , but you won't be doing it alone. You'll run your own outbound motion (calls, sequences, LinkedIn, and event-based prospecting) into your named accounts, backed by a BDR who partners with you on prospecting and qualification, and a Go to Market team that fuels your territory with account-based programs, intent signals, and inbound demand. You own the outcome, but BDR capacity and a steady flow of marketing-sourced and inbound opportunities sit alongside what you generate yourself.
Our team runs on three principles. We're disciplined: structured, consistent prospecting and qualification even when the pipeline looks full, because forecast accuracy and process rigor are non-negotiable. We're distinctive: be yourself, you sell a point of view, not a product pitch, and challenge HR leaders' thinking rather than reciting a feature list, since insight is what gets you past the gatekeeper and into the room. And we bring desire: you’re goal focused, you generate your own opportunities rather than waiting for them, and you treat quota as a floor, not a ceiling.
