Head of Global Sales

We are looking for a high-agency, hands-on Head of Global Sales to join our team! We are seeking an experienced, battle-tested sales leader who thrives in a flat structure, rolls up their sleeves to manage pipeline discipline, and uses data to drive strategic GTM decisions. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will bridge the gap between high-level go-to-market strategy and day-to-day tactical execution. You will unify our enterprise sales organization, lead senior individual contributors, and proactively identify and fix operational gaps. This is a very exciting and lucrative opportunity for the right leader.
 
Job Type: Exempt - U.S. Only
DEPARTMENT: Sales
LOCATION: Chicago, IL (On-site / In-office requirement; Relocation package provided)

WHAT YOU GET TO DO:

- Unify and lead the enterprise sales organization globally, directly managing Sales leadership and Senior Account Executives in a flat-structure environment

- Partner directly with the CEO and Board of Directors to present quarterly sales forecasts, go-to-market strategies, unit economics, and revenue performance metrics

- Align global sales execution, contract structures, and predictable ACV growth directly with the company’s multi-year valuation and strategic exit milestones

- Lead commercial due diligence and go-to-market integration for multi-product expansion and market entry into new international territories

- Translate raw sales operational data into actionable strategic shifts (verticalization, inbound/outbound mix, unit economics, ACV, and cost of sale)

- Maintain extreme tactical discipline across account pipelines, forecast accuracy, stage progression, and rep performance

- Join key prospective enterprise calls to guide deal strategy, provide real-time coaching, and help close complex multi-stakeholder deals

- Build and drive our enterprise outbound motion, establishing clear performance expectations and accountability

- Proactively identify operational and sales process flaws, designing and executing self-directed initiatives to resolve them

- Drive top-level strategic alignment between Sales, RevOps, Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to maximize net revenue retention and lifetime customer value

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

- 12+ years of B2B enterprise SaaS sales experience, with a proven track record as a VP/SVP scaling ARR from mid-stage growth through major liquidity events or acquisitions

- Experience presenting to boards of directors, investors, and executive committees on commercial strategy, GTM investment, and revenue forecasts

- Proven expertise architecting global sales motions across complex, multi-product enterprise SaaS portfolios

- Demonstrated experience structuring multi-million-dollar enterprise contracts and strategic partnerships that drive long-term valuation and enterprise value

- Battle-tested experience navigating market shifts, failed playbooks, or GTM missteps, with the ability to spot execution risks early

- Demonstrated high agency and autonomy, with the ability to independently diagnose problems and execute solutions without waiting for direction

- Player-coach mentality with the willingness to operate without mid-management layers, managing flat teams with direct line-of-sight into rep execution

- Must be based in or willing to relocate to Chicago, IL for on-site collaboration
