Director of Sales

Full-Time | Remote-First | Louisiana-Based | Up to 25% Travel

Reports to: Chief Marketing Officer

The Role

CoreWise is looking for a sales leader who can open the right doors, build trust and turn relationships into growth.

We help companies make better decisions about their people through recruiting, workforce strategy, assessments and leadership coaching.

When those decisions are right, the impact reaches well beyond an open position.

A business gets the person it needs to move forward. A team gets stronger. Morale improves. Leaders get time and capacity back. And someone gets the opportunity to do work that fits their strengths in a company where they can contribute and grow.

As Director of Sales, you will build the relationships that make those outcomes possible.

You’ll work directly with business owners and senior leaders to understand what is happening inside their organizations, identify where CoreWise can help and develop long-term partnerships built on trust.

What You’ll Own

• Develop new business across CoreWise’s recruiting, workforce strategy, assessment and leadership coaching services.
• Build relationships with CEOs, owners, COOs and other senior decision-makers.
• Lead consultative conversations that uncover the business and people challenges behind the immediate need.
• Develop opportunities through your network, referrals, strategic relationships, marketing activity and outbound business development.
• Manage opportunities from first conversation through close.
• Maintain a healthy pipeline with consistent follow-up and reliable forecasting.
• Keep CRM activity, opportunities and next steps current and visible.
• Partner with marketing, recruiting and client delivery to create a strong experience from first conversation through execution.
• Bring market insight back into the business and help identify where CoreWise should focus next.
• Contribute to the continued development of our sales process and approach.

Autonomy Comes With the Role

Experienced salespeople know that relationships do not all develop the same way.

You’ll have significant autonomy over how you manage your market, your schedule and your relationships.

Sometimes the right move is a phone call or a Google meet. Sometimes it is lunch, a client visit or getting in the car because showing up matters.

We trust you to use good judgment.

You’ll also have direct access to leadership, and what you hear from clients and see in the market will help inform how CoreWise grows.

What We’re Looking For

You may be a Director, senior business development leader or experienced individual contributor. We care more about the level at which you can operate than whether you have managed a large sales team.

You should bring:

• 10+ years of B2B sales or business development experience.
• A strong track record of developing and closing meaningful new business.
• Experience working directly with owners, executives and senior leadership teams.
• Executive presence and strong business judgment.
• A consultative, relationship-driven approach to sales.
• The ability to build trust and develop relationships over time.
• Strong follow-through, accountability and CRM discipline.
• The ability to understand the dynamics inside a business beyond the immediate problem presented.
• A professional network you know how to activate and continue expanding.
• Comfort managing your own time and operating with a high degree of independence.

Experience in manufacturing, engineering, financial services, banking, professional services or other relationship-driven B2B industries is especially relevant.

A strong network in Louisiana is a significant advantage.

How We Work

Our values are:

• Be in Service
• Be Adaptable
• Fierce Conversations
• Growth Oriented
• Have Fun

We believe people are not interchangeable.

Good work starts with understanding what someone is good at, where they fit and what they need from the people around them.

We try to bring that same thinking to the companies we serve and to the way we work with one another.

Location & Travel

CoreWise is a remote-first company , and this role must be based in Louisiana.

Our preference is for someone connected to South Louisiana , including Baton Rouge, New Orleans, the Northshore, Lafayette or surrounding areas.

Travel is expected up to 25% of the time , primarily for client meetings, relationship development and business opportunities.

You’ll have flexibility in managing your schedule and travel.

CoreWise offers full-time employees:

• Medical insurance, with CoreWise contributing 50% of the employee-only medical premium.
• Dental and vision coverage.
• SIMPLE IRA with a dollar-for-dollar employer match up to 3%, subject to plan eligibility.
• Accrued paid time off.
• Company-paid holidays.
• Cell phone reimbursement for eligible roles.

Why CoreWise

This is a role for someone who wants autonomy and meaningful relationships, but also wants to see what those relationships create.

The business owner gets a stronger company. The team gets a better place to work. Someone finds a role where they can succeed. And you get to know you helped make that connection happen.

If that is the kind of sales work you want to do next, we would like to meet you.
