We have raised more than $220 million since 2015, and our base of 10,000+ customers (and growing) is at our forefront.

About the role/team


We are looking for a talented Director / Manager (depending on seniority) to lead and build the Sales Strategy & Operations function in North America, in a (very) fast-paced environment. You will report to our Global Director of Sales Operations and Strategy.


As the Director / Manager of Sales Strategy & Operations, you will work as the right hand of our North America General Manager, lead, and inspire a team to drive our strategy and accelerate growth in North America. Learn a bit more about our GM Gianna's sales and leadership philosophy here and here!


This is a unique role, requiring both entrepreneurship and significant operational chops. While singularly focused on growth, you will be responsible for building a go-to-market platform that promotes experimentation and creativity, while providing a clear foundation to leverage best practices.


You’ll need to hire A+ talent, develop clear and actionable best practices and build out world-class tools and technology to support the team.

What you'll do:

  • Constantly refine our go-to-market strategy, supporting the launch and growth of Aircall.
  • Develop the model for scaling our current sales and partnership teams; improve our recruiting, training and performance measurement systems in order to identify and replicate drivers of team success.
  • Manage the pipeline of potential opportunities; rigorously vet ideas, provide planning support, and manage opportunities from concept to pilot to national rollout.
  • Identify the key drivers of success for current sales channels and determine where the next incremental dollar of investment should be directed to drive growth.
  • Build and manage a world-class team of doers: includes teams responsible for all aspects of sales and growth including managing our sales technology, building sales enablement capabilities, and leading cross-functional initiatives to resolve key obstacles to growth.
  • Design & implement incentive programs that reward high performance, aligning key success inputs with overall business objectives.
  • Create and manage mechanisms to identify and measure winning sales strategies in one market, and scale them from pilot to best practices in markets nationwide.
  • Partner with key stakeholders throughout the organization in order to align resources to drive scale.

What you'll bring:

  • You are comfortable in highly ambiguous environments, but hate ambiguity and seek to bring order from chaos wherever possible. However, you know your limits and prioritize where you can make the most impact.
  • You take pride in enabling the best work of others on the team. You think ahead to anticipate the needs of your teammates and you give and get all the facts making it easy for others to make decisions.
  • You drive results in a way that makes everyone better. You accomplish ambitious objectives while uplifting the team around you. You're a magnet for team members looking to get better and be successful.
  • You can work both fast and right and don't view them as trade-offs. You understand when things require precision and accuracy and where 80% gets you to the desired outcome.
  • You thrive on being pushed and challenged.
  • You communicate effectively both in written form and live / on your feet - you are not fazed by tough questions in the moment.
  • You strike the right balance between putting enough work in to share something, but not going off into a corner for weeks at a time to polish something to perfection.
  • You operate like an owner and expect others to as well: you take personal responsibility and value personal responsibility in others.
  • You check your ego at the door: you are interested in finding the right answer vs. always having the right answer.

Job Requirements:

  • You have 8+ years of work experience, with a demonstrated track record of analyzing complex, unstructured strategic problems and executing on concrete recommendations.
  • MBA not required but highly valuable or equivalent in work experience.
  • Past experience in scaling a rapidly growing business, with equal parts ‘general athlete’ and ‘been-there, done-that’ experiences.
  • Strong leader with the ability to build a high-performing team and a collaborative culture.
  • Ability to distill complex information into actionable results.
  • Ability to manage complex projects with urgency.
  • Hungry to win, resourceful, and thrives working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments that come with building a new business from the ground up.

We know that success comes from smart work and deserves to be recognized and rewarded.


We value people who are bold, ambitious, collaborative and customer-centric. We’re a global community growing together.

An Insider's view of Aircall

What are some social events your company does?

My absolute favorite moment this past week was getting home and receiving an unexpected Mother's day gift! I was both pleasantly surprised & grateful. This gesture reminded me of how moments like this can set the tone for the day, the week, and it made me pause so I can fully appreciate it.

Solange

Director of Tax

What does your typical day look like?

My favorite part of the week is well, closing, closing, and closing. While the end of the month can sometimes be stressful, it is fulfilling working towards a goal and achieving it over and over again. As I have started working larger deal, it has been a fun new challenge as I have to be on top of my game.

Elizabeth

Strategic Account Executive

What are some things you learned at the company?

I've learned Product Marketing is like a long-distance relay race, where the baton is the product and the track is the wider market. The first lap is all about the customer and market research. During the second lap, we pass the baton top the Product team and to build and manage that solution. Then during the third, it's all about going to market.

Ryan

Product Marketing Manager

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I am an Onboarding Specialist, though 2 years ago, my Aircall journey first started on the Support team. If go-to-market's org was a sandwich, Sales and Customer Success would be the bread, and Onboarding would be the meat. We are responsible for assisting customers in implementing Aircall to their tech stacks.
