Director of Strategic Growth - National Accounts

Enterprise Sales Hunter

This is not an account management role. This is a true enterprise hunter position. We are looking for someone who can build pipeline from scratch, win competitive deals, and close large, high-value partnerships while selling directly to CEOs, CMOs, and private equity leaders. If you thrive on closing net-new business, this role is built for you.

• Run full-cycle sales processes from discovery through close
