What You'll Do:

  • Revenue Performance
    • Own the annual revenue number across OpenLogic for North America
    • Drive retention in vulnerable product lines and prioritize ARR as a leading indicator
    • Identify and close expansion opportunities within the existing customer base
    • Build and convert qualified new business pipeline into targeted segments
  • Sales Leadership & Coaching
    • Set the standard for preparation, product knowledge, and deliberate practice across your team
    • Establish a consistent cadence of call reviews, 1:1's, deal coaching, and skill-building
    • Hold sellers accountable for activity levels, pipeline hygiene, and execution quality
    • Create a culture where reps are expected to know their accounts, their competitors, and their value proposition cold
  • Sales Motion & Process
    • Implement a repeatable sales process motion and buyer profile
    • Help build the infrastructure (playbooks, cadences, qualification criteria) to make performance predictable
    • Own your forecast and deliver it with accuracy
  • Cross-Functional Alignment
    • Partner with Product to ensure the roadmap reflects commercial priorities and that sellers can articulate differentiated value
    • Partner with Marketing to ensure demand generation, messaging, and enablement are tightly aligned to pipeline goals
    • Coordinate with Technical Support and Professional Services to protect retention and expand accounts
    • Represent the voice of the customer and the field in planning and prioritization

You'll Thrive If:

  • Track record of consistent attainment in mature or competitive markets
  • Experience in PE-backed or resource-constrained environments where execution discipline, not headcount, drives results
  • Familiarity with the open source, developer tools, and/or adjacent infrastructure software markets is a plus, but not a requirement
  • Known as a developer of sellers, not just a manager of results
  • Comfortable with direct, specific feedback. Able to give it in a way that improves performance
  • Sets high standards for preparation and follow-through, and models those standards personally
  • Knows how to hold people accountable without destroying morale
  • Reads deals accurately and coach sellers to do the same
  • Can prioritize ruthlessly across a portfolio without losing the thread on any individual business
  • Lean into ambiguity and build structure where it does not yet exist
  • Collaborate effectively with Product and Marketing without expecting them to carry the commercial load
  • Communicate with Senior Leadership with clarity

$140,000 - $280,000 a year The base pay range targeted for this role is $130,000 - $140,000 USD. This position is eligible for a Sales Commission Plan.
