Sales Team Lead (Account Executives)

Who We Need

The Sales Team Lead is a quota-carrying, player–coach responsible for driving personal revenue while elevating the execution, discipline, and performance of a team of Account Executives.

This role acts as the frontline extension of Sales Leadership, ensuring high standards across deal execution, pipeline management, forecasting accuracy, and sales process adherence. The Team Lead sets the tone for professionalism, preparation, and accountability while actively coaching AEs to improve performance.

This is not a passive leadership role. Success requires the ability to sell at a high level, coach with precision, and hold peers accountable.

This Team Lead role serves as a formal bridge between individual contribution and full-scale management. We are looking for a future leader who wants to earn their management stripes by proving they can lift a team's performance as effectively as their own. This is a role for someone who is passionate about mentorship and wants a structured environment to develop their management style before taking on a full team.

Onboarding & Development

• Support onboarding and ramp of new Account Executives
