Sales Team Lead - Player/Coach

Datarails

Responsibilities

Lead from the front

  • Carry an individual quota and manage your own book of business while continuing to prospect, run discovery, demonstrate value, negotiate, and close new business.
  • Coach and support a team of Account Executives, helping them strengthen their sales skills, manage their pipelines, develop deal strategy, and consistently work toward their targets.
  • Act as a hands-on resource during key sales cycles, including joining calls, helping navigate objections, developing negotiation strategies, and supporting AEs through complex deals.
  • Conduct regular deal reviews, pipeline reviews, call coaching, and skill development with members of the team.
  • Reinforce Datarails' sales methodology and playbook through both coaching and your own execution in the field.
  • Help identify performance trends, pipeline gaps, and opportunities for improvement using data and sales metrics.
  • Support the onboarding and ramp of new Account Executives and help establish strong selling habits from day one.
  • Share feedback from the field and identify opportunities to improve sales processes, messaging, enablement, and execution.
  • Partner closely with the Director and VP of Sales on team performance, forecasting, and broader sales initiatives.
  • Serve as a trusted mentor and culture carrier for the team while continuing to develop your own leadership capabilities.

What we need

  • 3+ years of proven success as a quota-carrying SaaS Account Executive, ideally within a high-growth or early-stage environment.
  • Consistent history of meeting or exceeding individual sales targets.
  • Demonstrated leadership potential through mentoring, coaching, onboarding, enablement, or serving as an informal leader within a sales organization.
  • Experience selling complex SaaS solutions to SMB and/or mid-market customers in a high-velocity sales environment.
  • Previous experience selling to finance teams and/or the CFO's office is strongly preferred; knowledge of FP&A processes is a plus.
  • Strong deal strategy, discovery, negotiation, and closing capabilities - and the ability to help others improve in those areas.
  • Working knowledge of modern SaaS sales methodologies such as Challenger, Sandler, Force Management, MEDDPICC, or other value-based selling methodologies.
  • A data-driven approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and performance.
  • The ability to balance your own revenue responsibilities with the success and development of others.
  • A collaborative, low-ego leadership style with a genuine interest in helping others succeed.
  • Experience thriving in an “up & comer” environment where processes are still evolving rather than relying solely on the infrastructure of an established brand.
  • A bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field is a plus.
