Role Description
If you are a hands-on sales builder who still wants to carry a number, coach rising sellers, and shape the go-to-market engine—not just inherit someone else's playbook—this is a high-visibility opportunity to lead growth for a long-established, PE-backed safety training and software company. You'll sell directly into public-sector and commercial fleet environments while building the process, cadence, and team capability needed to scale recurring revenue nationwide.

Why This Role Is Different
This is not a large-company sales management role where every process, enablement asset, and resource already exists. It is a builder role for someone who wants ownership. You will have the chance to influence the sales motion at a company with an established customer base, a real market need, upgraded technology, and executive attention on growth. For the right person, this can be a step toward broader sales leadership as the team scales.
