What You'll Do
- Own regional revenue — set the vision, hold the number, and build the pipeline needed to consistently exceed targets
- Lead a team of enterprise sales executives with a clear emphasis on net-new business, coaching each rep through complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
- Build and maintain accurate weekly, monthly, and quarterly forecasts — no surprises
- Drive outbound prospecting discipline across the team to develop high-value pipeline with strategic accounts
- Foster a culture of curiosity, accountability, and craft — coaching reps on discovery, deal strategy, and executive engagement
- Represent Yext in market through product demonstrations, executive briefings, and flagship account initiatives
- Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and CS to evolve go-to-market strategy and sharpen demand generation
- Develop targeted account plans with Marketing and ensure tight campaign execution against named accounts
What You Have
- 5+ years leading enterprise SaaS sales teams, consistently finishing in the top tier — you have a track record, not just a tenure
- Proven ability to build and scale net-new direct sales motions — you know how to open doors, not just close them
- Deep C-suite network across key verticals including Retail, Hospitality, and Financial Services
- Strong analytical instincts — you can dissect a pipeline, call your number with confidence, and course-correct early
- A coaching-first mentality: you invest in your people, hold high standards, and create an environment where top performers thrive
- A bias for action in ambiguous, fast-moving environments — you set the pace, you don't follow it
- Exceptional written and verbal communication; equally effective in a boardroom and a deal review
