Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs

This Director of Sales role stands out in SaaS because it sits at the intersection of recurring revenue and high-trust buying decisions, selling managed security and compliance services anchored in the Microsoft ecosystem. With the company citing $14M in ARR and a longer-term ARR target, the commercial mandate is clearly tied to predictable pipeline creation, forecasting discipline, and a repeatable outbound motion rather than one-off dealmaking.

From a SaaS career perspective, the work maps closely to the operating system of a scaling revenue org: defining ICP and targeting, building cadence and governance, and aligning Sales with Marketing, Partners, and delivery teams. The emphasis on CRM rigor, budgeting, headcount planning, and OKR ownership builds transferable skills for senior GTM leadership across B2B SaaS, especially where technical credibility and executive communication shape outcomes.

The role is best suited to a sales leader who prefers building structure, coaching managers and reps, and staying close to complex deals when needed. It will appeal to professionals who enjoy translating nuanced risk, compliance, and security value into commercial narratives, and who want accountability for both strategy and day-to-day execution in a remote environment.
