Client Director

Client Director – New Business

Purpose

We are seeking an experienced New Business Client Director to represent and sell our world-class service offerings. This is a true net-new logo role: pipeline is self-generated, not inherited. The ideal candidate will have an entrepreneurial spirit, a proven track record of sales excellence, the ability to meet and exceed quotas, and a history of new account acquisition. The candidate has a passion for “hunting” new customers, is comfortable prospecting cold into accounts with no prior relationship and has extensive experience selling to the “C” level. Must be hungry and have a passion for winning.

The New Business Client Director role requires experience consulting mid-market and Enterprise customers on technology strategy with a focus on delivering business outcomes. This role will need experience selling into the mid-market and Enterprise customer segment ($100M–$1B in revenue). The New Business Client Director will have experience selling with a consultative approach rather than product fulfillment and is able to establish credibility with executive decision makers and IT leadership — typically without the benefit of brand pull, inbound demand, or BDR-fed leads.

We need someone that can be very hands-on, do whatever it takes to build revenue, and be a strategic thinker with the ability to create long-term sales plans and execute on them for our prospects. The New Business Client Director candidate should possess sound business acumen, strong technical aptitude, a comprehensive in-market network, and significant sales experience that will be vital to helping to develop new opportunities and drive revenue . This individual contributor role will be focused on planning, prospecting and pipeline development, opportunity qualification, deal positioning and closing to overachieve individual sales targets.

This position offers a competitive base salary, uncapped commissions, and the opportunity to sell highly differentiated Cloud/IT solutions. The successful candidate will be able to show examples of their own sales success and achievements by way of exceeding sales quotas, documented new-logo wins, and personal recognition through sales awards or acknowledgments.

Reporting to the Head of Sales, this position can be remotely based out of U.S - Denver, Dallas, North East or South East.

Primary Responsibilities

• Generate net new sales revenue through a consultative and solutions-oriented approach.
• Leverage existing Sales tools to accurately forecast, track and modify sales funnel, regularly and with consistency
• Manage a base of 3-5 key clients won or transitioned into your name and be responsible for driving a pre-determined level of revenue growth, overseeing the overall client relationship strategy of that base — while net-new logo acquisition remains the primary focus of the role.

• Participate in the development, presentation, and sales of a value proposition.
• Onsite customer presentation with C-levels to negotiate and close strategic and complex deals.
• Self-source the majority of pipeline through disciplined outbound prospecting, cold outreach, industry networking, and events — without relying on inbound demand, BDR hand-offs, or channel-fed leads.
• Build and execute a written territory and named-account plan, creating demand in accounts where none exists today.
• Stay in total engagement with the account during the sales cycle while bringing in additional necessary resources from the Sales, Product, Client Success, and Practice-based teams.
• Collaborate with Chief Information Officers (CIO), Chief Financial Officers (CFO), IT Directors, ERP Management Teams and other IT professionals to develop plans for IT optimization and cost control/reduction.
• Meet and exceed customer expectations largely through managed services relationships, IT project work and staff augmentation.

• A documented track record of self-sourced pipeline. Candidates should be able to evidence that a majority (target: 60%+) of pipeline was generated independently through outbound prospecting and personal network.
