Director - Business Development

About Rocketlane Rocketlane is the leading purpose-built platform designed to help SaaS and services organizations run customer onboarding, implementations, and professional services more effectively. In an era where legacy Professional Services Automation (PSA) tools are often manual and fragmented, Rocketlane provides a modern, all-in-one solution. The platform integrates project management, collaboration, time tracking, billing, and forecasting into a single, AI-first workspace. This approach enables delivery teams to automate complex rollouts, increase transparency, and significantly reduce time-to-value for their customers. The company is currently in a hyper-growth phase, having recently closed a $60M Series C round led by Insight Ventures and doubling its revenue for two consecutive years. Rocketlane is currently ranked as the #1 Client Onboarding software on G2 and is expanding its footprint into the enterprise market. With the recent launch of Nitro, a proprietary agentic AI layer, Rocketlane is redefining the productivity of services teams and creating a new standard for post-sales delivery.
