Business Development·Full-Time·Brazil

Build your future with Sovos.

If you're seeking a career where innovation meets impact, you've come to the right place. As a global leader, Sovos is transforming tax compliance from a business requirement to a force for growth while revolutionizing how businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

At Sovos, we're dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges -- we're committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes -- apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

The Role

At Sovos, we're building the future of tax compliance software with a best-in-class team that spans the globe. We're looking for an experienced and dynamic Business Development Representative Manager to lead and elevate our Business Development function. This role requires a self-starter who thrives on building relationships across the organization, coaching high-performing teams, and leveraging AI-assisted tools to drive pipeline growth and operational excellence in a fast-paced, energetic environment.

More specifically, you will:

  • Train, coach, and manage a high-performing Business Development team to meet and exceed goals, maintaining a positive and motivational work environment that fosters professional growth and accountability.
  • Collaborate with Demand Generation and Sales teams to qualify and develop opportunities from marketing campaigns, ensuring seamless handoffs and pipeline health through effective lead management in Salesforce.com.
  • Build and refine sales processes — including inbound and outbound call workflows, business development alignment, compensation plans, and career progression frameworks — to achieve expected performance outcomes.
  • Develop sales enablement tools, training programs, and gamification strategies that empower the team to apply consultative sales methodologies and leverage AI tools to improve qualification accuracy and efficiency.
  • Monitor team performance against goals using data-driven reporting and analytics, ensuring compliance with sales methods, consistency in processes, and continuous improvement across all activities.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Success to facilitate new programs, messages, campaigns, and offerings that drive business growth.
  • Incorporate social media and emerging technologies into the qualification and selling processes, staying ahead of industry trends and equipping the team with modern, effective outreach strategies.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 2+ years of business development or management experience in software sales with a strong track record of documented results in a SaaS environment.
  • At least 2+ years of direct closing experience in SaaS sales, with proven success managing business development representatives who support an inside enterprise sales organization.
  • Strong hands-on coaching and training skills, with the ability to develop representatives with limited experience in a positive, effective manner and prepare them for promotion within 2-3 years.
  • Process-driven mindset with strong analytical skills and a metrics-driven approach to sales management; comfort with AI-assisted workflows and tools to optimize team performance and pipeline development.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to think creatively, generate new ideas, and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.
  • Proficiency with Salesforce.com required; experience with Salesloft preferred. Experience in the enterprise software or supply chain industry is a plus.

The Process

We believe in a transparent and comprehensive hiring process. Here's what you might expect:

1

Pre-Employment Assessment

Regionally specific assessments we use to mitigate bias and give every applicant a fair shot.

2

Video Interview

A chance to meet as many qualified applicants as possible and get to know you beyond your resume.

3

Meeting with a Recruiter

A conversation to talk through the role, your experience, and your goals.
