Our ideal Director of Sales is a natural leader who thrives in a high-energy environment, motivating and building their team to extraordinary success. This role is perfect for someone who lives for people, communication, and sales. You're an extroverted communicator who thrives on growing your team through teaching them new skills, helping them close deals, and inspiring them to be their best.

Sales isn’t just a skill; it’s your passion. You’re not just a leader; you’re a mentor, passionate about coaching and development. Building, coaching, and promoting your team members excites you. You’re committed to developing successful Account Executives who drive our business forward, holding yourself and your team to the highest standards.

While a college degree is preferred, exceptional candidates with non-traditional educational paths who demonstrate dedication and the ability to see things through to completion are welcome. You know how to keep yourself and your team motivated to exceed goals in tough environments, perhaps through a history of working jobs in retail, food service, or construction. You understand the value of practice and hard work. You can captivate an audience and convey messages with compelling narratives. This skill is crucial for inspiring your team and engaging clients.
