Conduct regular 1:1s, team sessions, and coaching to sharpen selling skills, pipeline discipline, and deal execution.
Actively participate in client engagements, pitches, and negotiations as a hands-on seller, while supporting AEs to close net-new business at scale.
Build and manage a strong sales pipeline with your team, ensuring consistent achievement of revenue targets.
Partner with EMEA leadership to evolve sales strategies, refine our operating model, and scale effectively across diverse markets.
Act as a trusted advisor to agencies and brands, deeply understanding their needs and how StackAdapt’s solutions can drive impact.
Collaborate with Marketing and Product teams to craft tailored go-to-market strategies for priority verticals and geographies.
Identify opportunities to expand StackAdapt’s presence in EMEA and create playbooks to accelerate growth across key accounts.
Work closely with Operations, Enablement, and other cross-functional partners to streamline processes, improve sales productivity, and enhance client outcomes.
Serve as the voice of the field, providing feedback on market dynamics and customer needs to inform product development and strategic decisions.
What you'll bring to the table:
Experience: 3+ years in a sales management role, with a proven ability to consistently exceed sales quotas while developing and leading high-performing teams.
Seller Background: Strong track record as an individual contributor in enterprise or agency sales, with ability to step in and close deals alongside the team.
Leadership Style: People-first leader who prioritizes team development, coaching, and long-term growth of Account Executives.
Strategic Mindset: Proven ability to scale operations and partner with leadership to adapt strategies for diverse markets in EMEA.
Industry Knowledge: Strong understanding of the digital advertising ecosystem, with experience working with agencies, brands, or programmatic platforms.
Adaptability: Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with distributed teams.
