We're hiring a first-line sales leader to own this motion. In this role, you'll manage a team of AEs carrying combined quota across new business and expansion, and build the operating model that maximizes our best opportunities. You set the tone for how AEs and execs work together on the deals that matter most.
You will inherit a highly skilled and successful team, and your job is to take it further. You will own our internal processes, uplevel the team’s accountability, and set a bar for customer interactions that makes Method impossible to ignore.
