  • Performance Excellence: Monitor activity metrics, enforce best practices, and reinforce inputs that drive quota achievement.
  • Collaboration: Partner with recruiting to attract top talent, and with operations to streamline processes and enable the team’s success.
  • Culture Champion: Uphold and amplify Filevine’s culture, fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
  • Operational Excellence: Deliver regular performance reports, forecasts, and actionable insights to leadership.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: 1–3 years of experience managing high-performing sales development teams with a proven track record of exceeding goals.
  • Leadership: A natural motivator with exceptional people management and coaching skills.
  • Results-Driven: History of success as an individual contributor and leader, with the ability to drive both metrics and outcomes.
  • Technical Proficiency: Experience with Salesforce or similar CRM tools, as well as sales engagement platforms like Outreach.
  • Strategic Mindset: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, manage change, and create a clear vision for the team.
  • Growth-Oriented: Embrace a learning mindset and seek to develop both yourself and your team.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functionally.
