In parallel, you will set quotas, enforce KPIs, coach the sales team, and act as the real-time voice of the market to leadership on pricing, services, and competitive shifts.

This role is built for a true player-coach : someone who sells, leads, challenges assumptions, raises market risks early, and pushes both people and revenue forward through disciplined execution.

The Sales Manager is fully accountable for :

  • Personal revenue production
  • Team revenue performance
  • Pipeline integrity and forecast accuracy
  • Market intelligence and pricing feedback
  • Strategic account development and expansion

Success in this role requires autonomy, ownership, resilience, and a hunter mentality. You will be given freedom to operatebut full accountability for results.

  • Monitor sales KPIs, conversion metrics, and pipeline velocity to ensure consistent target achievement.
  • Hands-On Sales Execution & Deal Leadership

  • Personally lead high-value opportunities through the full sales cycle using solution selling, advanced objection handling, and closing strategies.
  • Operate with a hunter mentality, actively prospecting and converting opportunities in a consultative B2B inside-sales environment.
  • Ensure efficient opportunity management through the pipeline and a seamless handoff to Account Management upon close.
  • Team Leadership, Hiring & Performance Management

  • Identify hiring needs, recruit, onboard, and continuously develop high-performing sales talent.
  • Lead with a hands-on coaching, mentoring, and performance-driven management style.
  • Enforce daily, weekly, and monthly accountability across quotas, activity metrics, and sales effectiveness.
  • Process, Reporting & Budget Ownership

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for all sales reporting (excluding finance).
  • Prepare, manage, and review the annual sales operating budget.
  • Provide clear, structured bi-weekly performance updates to senior leadership covering pipeline health, risks, and revenue outlook.
  • Market Intelligence, Product & Pricing Feedback

  • Act as the voice of the customer and the market by delivering continuous feedback on pricing, services, competition, and buyer behavior.
  • Identify gaps in product-market fit and recommend service improvements, new offerings, and innovative sales approaches.
  • Proactively flag risks, demand shifts, and execution issues with actionable solutions.
  • Strategic Account & Relationship Development

  • Cultivate long-term strategic relationships with key accounts through client visits, executive engagement, and industry networking.
  • Anticipate customer needs, uncover expansion opportunities, and drive long-term revenue growth and retention.
  • Open to travel abroad when necessary.
  • Operational Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement

  • Address sales execution challenges, pipeline bottlenecks, and customer friction points with speed and clarity.
  • Continuously refine sales techniques, messaging, and positioning to improve close rates and customer satisfaction.
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years of progressively responsible experience in B2B technology or infrastructure sales, including at least 2+ years in a leadership, player-coach, or senior sales role.
  • Proven track record of prospecting, closing, and expanding revenue in a consultative selling environment.

  • CTOs

  • Outbound prospecting and pipeline tools
  • Customer-centric selling mindset with a focus on long-term value, not just transactional wins.
  • Strong analytical capability to set, track, and optimize KPIs, ROI, and conversion performance.
  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and motivate a high-performance sales team through accountability, training, and performance management.
  • Bachelors degree in Sales, Business Administration, Marketing, or related field preferred (equivalent real-world performance will be strongly considered).
  • If local, the role requires in-office participation on an as-needed basis for leadership, training, and execution alignment.
