About the Role
We are looking for a
Manager, Commercial Sales

You will report directly to the
Director, Commercial Sales
and align closely with her leadership style: collaborative, hands-on, data-aware, and very focused on coaching and development. This role is a mix of
building and operating
: you’ll be expected to refine the motion we have, create what doesn’t exist yet, and consistently raise the bar on performance in a way that is clear, fair, and supportive.
This role requires you to be on site 3 days a week.

Establish and run a
regular operating rhythm
for the team, including:
Clear goals and expectations.
