The role owns sales performance, margin, and market share across the region, co-managing results with the Operations Leader to deliver a seamless customer experience.

  • Work hand-in-hand with the Operations POD Director in establishing efficient logistic guidelines such as lead times, MOQ (minimum order quantity), and delivery areas.

  • Oversee and support Regional Sales Managers, ensuring consistent performance management, coaching, development, and engagement of the team 
  • Empower RSMs to take ownership of regional results, building frontline capability and bench strength.
  • Supervise all hiring processes from establishment of the position, definition and/or revision of job descriptions and connecting with P&C to a smooth and organized process. 

Performance & Reporting

  • Drive incentive execution to maximize performance within the POD.
  • Provide executive reporting on POD sales and overall regional performance.
  • Own forecast accuracy for the region, consolidating inputs from RSMs and TSMs and holding final accountability for the committed number. Use data and pipeline analytics to pressure-test assumptions and drive decisions.

Requirements
