Work style: Hybrid (in-office 2 days/week)
Primary location: Raleigh, NC (strong preference) exceptional candidates in Charlotte may be considered
Travel: Regular time in both Raleigh + Charlotte markets (especially during ramp-up)

Our client is hiring a senior sales leader to lead and grow an established IT contract staffing business. This is a highly visible, critical hire focused on market share growth, new client acquisition, and team development—with a mandate to elevate the business from strong delivery to stronger, more strategic sales execution.

This role is for a builder: someone who can assess current-state, create a plan, open doors, coach performance, and help the team win larger, stickier client relationships (MSAs, mid-market focus) while partnering tightly with recruiting/delivery.

• 
  Lead a team of Account Managers; set expectations, coach execution, and drive performance.

• 
  Serve as a local point of contact for coverage, team needs, and basic leadership items.
