We are a fast-growing, product-led company built by security practitioners. We move quickly, iterate often, and prioritize impact. If you like seeing the direct results of your work and enjoy collaborating across functions to solve real customer problems, Horizon3.ai is a strong fit. We are looking for a Manager, Commercial Sales to lead and grow our Commercial segment. You will manage a team of high-velocity sellers focused on commercial customers and be responsible for building pipelines, driving conversion, and delivering revenue.

Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a Commercial sales team, including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and day-to-day management.
• Own pipeline and revenue targets for the Commercial segment and guide the team toward consistently meeting or exceeding them.
• Build and refine inbound and outbound motions for small business customers, including campaigns, sequences, and industry-specific plays that can be tested and scaled.
• Partner with Marketing, Sales Operations, Product, Solutions Engineering, and Alliances to design and execute integrated programs that drive quality pipeline and predictable progression.
• Establish and run a regular operating rhythm for the team, including clear goals and expectations, ongoing coaching and feedback in 1:1s and team settings, use of data and dashboards to spot trends, identify gaps, and celebrate wins, thoughtful follow‑up when performance isn’t where it needs to be with support plans and next steps.
• Provide forecasting and reporting on team performance, pipeline health, and key productivity metrics to sales leadership.
• Build and maintain career paths and development plans for team members, preparing them for promotion into AE and other sales roles where it makes sense.
• Help create a supportive, accountable team culture that balances encouragement and recognition with clear expectations and follow‑through.
• Stay current on Horizon3.ai’s cybersecurity and offensive security offerings, the broader security landscape, and buyer needs, then translate that into talk tracks, discovery questions, and plays your team can use.
• Champion process and tooling improvements in Salesforce, Salesloft/Outreach, LinkedIn Navigator, and other systems to drive consistency and scale.
• Navigate ambiguity in a scaling environment, move forward with incomplete information, adjust as new data comes in, and communicate changes to the team.
• Identify gaps in process or coverage and bring practical ideas for improvement.
• Help the team navigate change by setting context, explaining the “why,” and keeping people focused on what they can control.

Requirements

• 7–10 years of total experience in B2B SaaS or technology sales.
• 2–4 years of frontline sales management, leading Commercial Account Executives or similar high‑velocity teams.
• Direct exposure to cybersecurity or security tooling, either at a security‑focused vendor or through sustained selling into security, DevOps, or IT buyers (e.g., CISOs, security leaders, DevOps/Cloud, IT operations).
• Demonstrated quota over‑achievement as both an individual contributor and a manager, with clear examples of targets and outcomes.
• Strong coaching and people‑development skills; able to address performance issues directly, fairly, and focused on outcomes.
• Clear, confident communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
• A data‑informed approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and productivity, using numbers to support decisions.

• Experience designing or refining outbound programs and campaign‑based motions that drive net‑new pipeline.
• Comfort working closely with the Director, Commercial Sales and acting as an extension of her leadership style, reinforcing shared standards and expectations within the Commercial pod.
• Genuine interest in cybersecurity and offensive security, and the ability to learn and explain technical concepts in straightforward language.
• Formal coaching or leadership training/certifications (preferred).
• Experience at a high‑growth SaaS or cloud provider, especially in commercial segments.
• Experience building or significantly reshaping a sales function (process, playbooks, hiring profiles, metrics).
