Sales Leadership & Strategy

• Discover client needs, challenges, and opportunities, mapping those back to platform solutions, value, and ROI
• Build and maintain C-suite and VP-level relationships with restaurant operators across operations, marketing, IT, and finance
• Operate as a trusted strategic partner within client organizations, not just a vendor

• Work closely with Customer Success to create referenceable accounts and drive long-term client retention and satisfaction
• Provide ongoing feedback on market trends, competitive intelligence, and client insights to inform strategy

• Define and track KPIs that give leadership clear visibility into team performance and revenue health
• Establish scalable onboarding, training, and coaching frameworks that continuously elevate seller capability
• Represent the company at key industry events and tradeshows

Qualifications

• Minimum 10+ years of experience in B2B SaaS or technology platform sales, with at least 5 years in a sales leadership role managing teams of Account Executives or Sales Directors
• Restaurant, hospitality, or technology sales experience with industry contacts required — you must understand the restaurant operator buyer and their world
• Proven track record of building and leading high-performing sales teams to consistently exceed revenue targets in a competitive market
• Experience managing both enterprise and mid-market sales motions simultaneously, with the ability to coach sellers across different deal sizes and sales cycles
• Consistent history of developing pipeline and closing deals through a disciplined, structured sales process

• Experienced understanding of guest data, customer data platforms (CDP), loyalty engagement, and digital hospitality solutions — with the ability to connect the platform to a restaurant operator’s strategic objectives
• Strong technical, business, and strategic selling acumen — you can engage across operations, IT, finance, and the C-suite with equal credibility
• Clear, effective, and persuasive communicator — in person, on the phone, and on video
• Highly skilled relationship builder capable of earning trust quickly and maintaining it over the long term
• Must be willing and able to travel nationally for client meetings, team summits, tradeshows, and industry events
