we're excited to provide virtual experiences for interviews and new hire on-boarding.

This role can be based in our New York Headquarters or remote within the United States.

  • Meet frequently with each AE or AM in the field to review sales productivity, selling behavior, progress-to-plan and sales pipeline accuracy, making any necessary adjustments and providing ongoing coaching.  Might include up to 40% national travel.
  • Work with key clients and establish relationships with relevant industry executives
  • Recognize outstanding sales activity and performance within and outside the sales team
  • Establish and lead a team culture that promotes engagement, performance, team work, accountability, and fun
  • Hold salespeople accountable for achieving their quota, behavior and activity expectations, utilizing strategic coaching to address performance issues.
  • Work collaboratively with other sales and functional leaders to ensure that all accounts are sold and serviced in an effective and efficient manner, and in compliance with our clients’ expectations
  • Fully satisfy Dataminr and SVP, Enterprise Sales expectations related to sales reporting (sales activity, opportunity updates, pipeline, forecasting, customer profiling, etc.), and administration

Desired Skills and Experience:

  • Bachelor's Degree required
  • 5+ years of demonstrated success in leading sales teams that consistently achieve or exceed quota, along with the ability to attract, retain and grow top performers
  • 10+ years of demonstrated success selling software or services to Fortune 1000 clients
  • Post COVID-19, ability to be in the field in support of a nationally-dispersed sales team and client list, might include up to 40% travel including some overnight travel
  • Willingness to work flexible hours in accordance with company needs/work flow demands
  • High level of business and financial acumen, including well developed business management, organizational, selling, and team management skills
  • Must have demonstrated ability to implement business plans to ensure revenue retention and expansion and ability to train/ lead/ reinforce a sales methodology with sellers.
