Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Senior Sales Manager role stands out in the SaaS ecosystem because it sits at the intersection of revenue leadership and go to market iteration. The remit spans managing midmarket account executives while also shaping how the sales motion evolves as new solutions are introduced, a common inflection point for SaaS companies expanding product surface area and segment focus.
For a SaaS sales leader, the career value comes from operating in the mechanics that tend to travel well across subscription businesses: building repeatable pipeline creation, improving conversion through better discovery and demos, and tightening forecasting discipline through consistent CRM hygiene. The emphasis on outbound engagement, sequence design, and process optimisation also signals exposure to modern sales tooling and the operational side of revenue, not only people management.
The role is best suited to someone who enjoys coaching experienced sellers while staying close to performance levers and day to day execution. It will likely fit a leader who is comfortable hiring and onboarding, setting clear activity standards, and iterating on playbooks as market feedback comes in. Experience with consultative SaaS selling and a bias toward measurable improvement would align well with what the position appears to prioritise.
