Director of Sales — Investment Banking & Advisory

Grata is looking for a proven sales leader to own our investment banking and advisory segment. You will lead a team of AEs and BDRs across both a strategic motion covering large, complex institutions and a mid-market motion serving mid-sized banks and boutique advisory firms — two buying patterns that require different approaches and a leader who can run both with clarity.

  • Own quarterly and annual revenue targets — managing pipeline health, forecast accuracy, and deal velocity across both motions
  • Build and nurture a channel partnership motion with Datasite's advisory team, turning their global client relationships into a warm lead channel for your AEs
  • Define and evolve territory strategy across bulge bracket, middle market, and boutique advisory firms as Grata's ICP expands
  • Provide regular, structured coaching and feedback — identifying the specific blockers holding each rep back and building accountability without micromanaging
  • Cultivate senior executive relationships across target accounts to serve as a voice of customer for the segment
  • Collaborate with Revenue Operations, Marketing, Customer Success, and Product to bring segment-specific insight into company decisions

About You

  • You have successfully managed a team of AEs to consistent quota attainment in a high-growth SaaS environment
  • You have sold into investment banking, M&A advisory, or closely related financial services — you understand how deal teams are structured, how coverage bankers think about sourcing, and what makes a data or workflow platform indispensable to them
  • You use data to drive clarity and communicate with conviction — with your team, with cross-functional partners, and with executive leadership
  • You build process that scales and creates accountability without bureaucracy: structured pipeline reviews, clear deal coaching frameworks, and a feedback cadence that actually moves the needle
  • You have run or managed both a strategic enterprise motion and a higher-velocity mid-market motion — and you understand how to coach differently across those two contexts
  • SaaS sales experience required; experience selling data products or a consumption-based model is a strong plus

Based in New York City

Comfortable with our hybrid schedule (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday in-office)

6+ years of sales experience, including at least 2 years in a sales management role

Salary Range

OTE is budgeted for - $300,000-320,000
