We are looking for an exceptional leader with a stellar sales record who will capitalize on strategic accounts, be a self-starter, and love working in a multifaceted environment with an outstanding team. As a Regional Sales Director for Customer Base Account Executives, you will lead, coach, and mentor the team, helping them improve long-term revenue opportunities with our existing customers.

- 12+ years of field sales & management experience at a SaaS company, ideally focused on upselling/renewals within an existing customer base.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on the role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs while being intentional to make the most of time spent together.
