Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Director of Sales role stands out in SaaS because it sits in an enterprise B2B motion selling into large accounts, where multi-stakeholder buying committees and longer deal cycles are the norm. The remit also signals a modern go-to-market approach by explicitly tying sales leadership to AI-enabled prospecting, coaching, and forecasting, a capability increasingly shaping how SaaS revenue teams operate.
For a career in SaaS, the role offers leverage across the full revenue system rather than just front-line execution. Leading Account Executives while partnering closely with marketing, product, customer success, sales development, and sales engineering builds fluency in how SaaS organizations align pipeline creation, product positioning, and retention outcomes. The emphasis on data, CRM instrumentation, and repeatable process design also maps well to operating at scale across future SaaS leadership roles.
This is best suited to a sales leader who prefers hands-on coaching alongside operational discipline, and who is comfortable being accountable for predictable outcomes through metrics. It will fit someone motivated by improving how teams sell, not only what they sell, and who wants to translate new tooling, including AI, into day-to-day commercial habits.

Job Description
About the role:
Dashlane is searching for an exceptional Director of Sales to lead our B2B Account Executive team in New York. You will build, inspire, and scale a high-performance sales team while driving significant revenue growth by focusing on primarily selling into Dashlane’s ICP of 1,000+ employee prospect and client accounts. This is not a role that requires managing through process alone; you will instill a culture of rigor, accountability, and continuous learning while fostering the innovation and teamwork that define Dashlane. You will also be integral to ensuring cross functional alignment with marketing, product, customer success, amongst other teams.
Beyond traditional sales leadership, you will pioneer how our sales organization leverages AI to research prospects and clients, compress sales cycles, improve deal quality, and accelerate team development. You will use data and intelligence to make decisions faster, coach smarter, and hire talent that accelerates our growth. This role sits at the intersection of operational excellence and transformational leadership.
What we're looking for:
- Revenue growth & operational rigor
-
-
Own net new ARR, inclusive of both expansion and new logo growth for your sales organization. Set aggressive but achievable targets, ensure consistent quarter-to-quarter progress, and drive pipeline discipline from day one.
-
Establish and operationalize a repeatable sales process: define handoffs, qualify rigorously, forecast with confidence, and execute with precision. Use CRM and sales tools (Salesforce, Gong, ZoomInfo, Rattle) to create visibility and accountability.
-
Develop expertise in cybersecurity, identity, and password management landscapes — understand our buyers, competitive positioning, and market dynamics deeply.
-
Collaborate closely with Sales Development, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and Marketing to align strategy, eliminate friction, and maximize conversion at every stage of the funnel.
-
Work with Channel Partners to expand go-to-market and unlock new customer acquisition vectors.
-
Own and deliver quarterly and annual revenue targets
-
Forecast accurately and manage pipeline health across segments
- AI-enabled sales leadership
-
-
Actively embed AI into your sales operations: use AI to qualify leads faster, identify deal risk signals early, auto-summarize conversations for coaching, and surface patterns that improve win rates.
-
Challenge your team to leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, industry-specific platforms, predictive analytics) to accelerate research, generate personalized outreach, and focus high-touch selling on closing, not admin.
-
Use data and AI insights to coach smarter: analyze Gong call recordings with AI assistance to identify coaching moments, uncover team strengths/gaps, and accelerate rep development.
-
Experiment ruthlessly with AI across hiring, forecasting, and customer targeting. Model this innovation mindset for your team and share learnings across the org.
-
Reduce sales cycle length by 15–25% in year one by embedding AI-informed strategies into prospecting, qualification, and deal acceleration.
