Director Of Sales

Optimy's mission is simple: we empower corporations globally to create meaningful social impact. Optimy's innovative SaaS platform enables over 350 global organizations to manage corporate social impact programs.

As we continue rapid expansion across Europe & North America, we are looking for a Director of Sales who will play a critical role in accelerating our growth, while leading a team of Account Executives and Account Managers.

As Optimy's Director of Sales you will lead 2 teams: New Sales & Account Management. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will oversee new logo revenue, expansion of existing accounts (cross-sell/upsell) and customer retention, working to achieve ambitious ARR growth and retention goals. You'll foster a highly collaborative, innovative, fast-paced, and data-driven culture focused on performance, resiliency and adaptability.

As the head of the Sales function, you will be accountable for the overall annual revenue objectives. You will support your team to close new deals, grow existing customer accounts, and secure strong account retention. In addition to giving recommendations, coaching and guidelines to your team, you will be a hands-on leader with your team (ie. joining calls, reviewing RFPs, assisting to close key accounts, etc.). Ideal candidates will have managed geographically dispersed sales and account management teams at SaaS/Software (B2B) companies.

This is an opportunity to combine strategic vision with hands-on leadership, and lead and empower an international sales organization throughout Europe and North America to exceed revenue targets. If you have experience building world-class teams, mentoring sales talent and making a difference, this is your chance to leave a lasting mark on both Optimy and the clients we serve.
