Director Account Executives (SMB) (Hybrid)

Join our high-performing SMB Sales organization as the leader who transforms individual contributors into revenue-generating powerhouses.

You'll own the full sales motion for your team: pipeline accuracy, deal progression, skill development, and the daily wins that compound into exceptional quarterly results. The successful candidate is a player-coach at heart, someone who thrives on the energy of a sales floor, leads from the front with proven closing expertise, and takes genuine pride in watching their team members grow into top performers.

Sales Execution Support: Jump into live deals to assist with complex closes, handle objections alongside your reps, coach through customer negotiations, and demonstrate the techniques that win business—especially in reactivating lapsed accounts.
