[Hiring] Sales Director @Overwatch Mission Critical

Role Description

The Sales Director is responsible for originating new client relationships, expanding strategic accounts, and acting as the primary executive-level relationship owner. This role is focused on front-end sales, opportunity creation, and client strategy—not candidate onboarding or day-to-day fulfillment.

Once a client need is identified, the Sales Director “quarterbacks” the engagement by aligning internal teams and partnering closely with Account Managers, who manage requisitions, candidate presentation, onboarding, and ongoing delivery.

This is a relationship-driven, market-facing role ideal for a senior seller who thrives on opening doors, building trust, and positioning staffing solutions at the executive level.
