Director of Sales Development

Overview

About the Role

The Director of Sales Development will lead a remote based team of high-performing Sales Development Representatives and front line Managers in growing an innovative, productive, and sustainable sales pipeline. This is a high-profile sales strategy and operations role that has second-line management responsibility and will sit on the sales leadership team. It requires someone that wants to inspire and develop young talent and is excited to build a long-lasting Sales Development Program.

The Director of Sales Development is responsible for co-creating and maintaining a program that develops FreeWill’s next generation of Account Executives. You will collaborate with Enablement, Revenue Operations, Marketing and Sales to create and maintain the Sales Development Representative Onboarding, Training and Coaching Program. This program will train them to identify, prospect, develop and qualify sales opportunities, and prepare them to graduate into roles in our Account Executive organization within 18- 24 months.

The right candidate is someone that has worked in both GTM strategy and operating roles, ideally with experience in management, data analysis and functional leadership.

FreeWill has set compensation and a non-negotiation policy for fairness reasons (we don’t think that an individual’s pay should be determined by how comfortable they are negotiating). As a result, we like to be transparent and up front about the compensation. When we make an offer, we provide multiple options so that employees can choose between compensation packages that prioritize salary or stock options. The offers for this role will be between $125,000 and $145,000. This position also qualifies for commission. We also have historically offered competitive annual raises.
