President of Sales & GTM

About the Role

Our client is a fast-growing, founder-led company in the premium travel and lifestyle space. As the business enters its next phase of growth, they are seeking a President of Sales & GTM to scale a world-class commercial organization. This is a rare opportunity to join a founder-led business at an inflection point and build the sales engine and go-to-market strategy that will define its next stage of growth.

The President of Sales & GTM will take full executive ownership of the sales organization and go-to-market strategy, leading all Account Executives and future sales leadership while building sales strategy, forecasting, revenue operations, sales enablement, hiring, coaching, compensation planning, CRM discipline, and pipeline management. This is a builder role for a driven, hands-on leader who wants to create sales infrastructure, culture, and process, not someone looking to manage an already-mature team.

This role reports directly to the Founder & CEO, partners closely with leadership on overall go-to-market direction, and sits on the executive leadership team.

  • Improve pipeline visibility and inspection cadence
  • Establish operating rhythms: pipeline reviews, forecast meetings, QBRs, performance reviews
  • Ensure CRM discipline and data integrity across the team
