Is This Role For You?
- You've managed CRM sales teams (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) and know the buyer personas, pain points, and competitive dynamics inside out
- You're entrepreneurial and energized by building something from zero—recruiting, training, process design, and rapid iteration are your jam
- You're a process obsessive who loves metrics, forecasting, and continuous improvement but can also roll up sleeves and close deals
- You thrive in transparent, collaborative cultures and can develop talent while holding them accountable to aggressive growth targets
- You need remote flexibility; this is 3 days/week on-site in NYC with no visa sponsorship available
- You prefer managing mature, stable teams over building new ones; this role is greenfield with inherent chaos and ambiguity
- You're a pure transaction closer who doesn't enjoy coaching, hiring, and people development; this is fundamentally a people leadership role
