[Hiring] Sales Manager @Block

Role Description

We’re building a team of elite sales leaders who raise the performance of everyone around them. As a Senior Sales Manager, you'll lead a team of approximately 10 Senior Account Executives while owning one of our most important growth levers: developing talent that consistently outperforms expectations. This role isn't about managing activity, it's about building a high-performance sales organization where every hire strengthens the team, every coaching conversation improves execution, and every business decision is grounded in data.

You'll lead our most experienced Account Executives, AEs with 5+ years of full-cycle closing experience, on a fully outbound team where pipeline is strategic and self-sourced across executive networks, partnerships, trade shows, intent data, and more. Your reps own the execution. You sharpen the strategy behind it, and you coach in the work rather than after it. That means diagnosing pipeline health before it becomes a forecasting problem, developing future leaders before promotions become necessary, and building playbooks and an operating rhythm that makes growth predictable.

You'll partner cross-functionally to improve how we sell, challenge the status quo, and continuously raise the talent bar across the organization. Success is measured not only by quota attainment, but by the strength of your team, the quality of your pipeline, and the leaders you develop.
