Director, Sales (Denver)

About the role

We are seeking a high-energy Director of Sales to take full ownership of our net-new, high-velocity sales organization in Denver. This leader will build, scale, and operate a performance-driven new business engine, setting a high bar for execution, accountability, and results while leading directly from our in-office sales headquarters.

This is a hands-on, in-the-trenches role for someone who lives the business day to day — in the data, on the floor, and on calls with reps and managers. You’ll use clear operating rhythms and performance insights to diagnose issues, change behavior, and consistently hit aggressive growth targets, bringing a “head of sales at a startup” mentality to a fast-paced, transactional environment focused on net-new logo acquisition.

This role is in-office 5x a week and based in Denver.

What You’ll Bring to Engine

• Sales Leadership: 7+ years’ experience in a senior sales leadership role, with a focus on scaling and leading an outbound full-cycle new business team in a high-growth environment
• Team Development: Strong track record of coaching and developing high-performing sales managers
• Develop Culture: Demonstrated ability to drive accountability and foster a culture of excellence while building and maintaining a culture anchored around collaboration, learning, accountability, and winning together.
• Data-Driven Mindset: Expertise in leveraging data to identify problems and implement solutions.
• Pipeline Management: Proficiency in pipeline management and accurate forecasting.
• Strategic Operator: Strategic thinker with the ability to execute plans and deliver results while being hands-on and deeply involved in day to day operations
• Strong Communicator: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
• Agility: A strong team player, and a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth start-up environment.
• Cross-functional Leadership: A self-driven, high-energy leader with excellent cross-functional collaboration skills.
