Manager, Acquisition

About the Role

This is an entry-level leader role designed to make maximum impact on a small team focused on driving deal execution. Reporting directly to our VP of Sales, youll take on a team of 4-5 Account Executives in our Mid-Market segment and be expected to stay close to the deals themselves, not just the activity. This is a hands-on leadership seat: youll coach, but youll also jump on calls, help structure deals, and show the team what winning looks like from inside the work.

Heres what youll do

• Own quota attainment and pipeline health across your teams book of business, with direct accountability for forecast accuracy and pacing to plan
• Lead and coach a team of 4-5 Account Executives through deal reviews, pipeline inspection, and regular 1:1 coaching
• Get in the weeds on deals alongside your reps: join calls, help structure terms, and step in to close when it counts
• Carry influence over outcomes even on deals youre not directly running, setting the standard for what good execution looks like
• Partner closely with the VP of Sales and sales leadership during the initial ramp period to shape team structure, territory design, and hiring priorities as the segment evolves
• Hire, onboard, and develop Account Executives as the team grows, building the bar for who joins this team
• Partner with Marketing, Product, and Operations to surface field insights and keep GTM execution aligned as the mid-market motion matures

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• 2-4 years of experience managing or directly leading a sales team, ideally in a mid-market or SMB segment
• Demonstrated experience staying close to deal execution, working pipeline and calls directly rather than managing only from reporting
• Experience hiring and developing Account Executives, or clear readiness to do so
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, with reporting lines and team structure still being defined
• Working experience with CRM tools like Salesforce for pipeline management and forecasting
• Ability to travel regionally 30% of the time in order to help close business, plus 1-4 trips per year to attend company and industry conferences and events

Nice-to-haves:

• Background in proptech, multifamily, or an adjacent vertical market
• Familiarity with Gong or similar conversation intelligence tools
• Experience building a sales team or segment from an early stage

This is a fully remote role, with an expectation of travel listed above.
