[Hiring] Sales Team Lead @Real-Time Innovations

Role Description

RTI is seeking a Sales Team Lead to drive the growth and strategy of our Commercial Markets sales organization across the Americas and EMEA. This is a player-coach leadership role for an experienced sales and business development professional who is equally comfortable driving strategic account growth as they are coaching and developing others across a modern, specialized sales structure.

The Commercial Markets organization drives growth across high-impact non-defense industries, including Healthcare & MedTech, Industrial Automation, Robotics, Clean Energy, and Smart Rail.

The Sales Team Lead will establish and execute market expansion strategies by:

• Identifying priority applications
• Strengthening BD pipelines
• Leading early-stage customer engagement

This individual will coordinate with a specialized sales ecosystem—aligning and driving performance across Sales Development (SDRs), Account Managers, Customer Success, and Renewals—to execute a scalable customer development and retention strategy. This position reports to the Senior Director of Sales.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on sales leader and strategic business developer who operates effectively at high levels while remaining actively engaged in key commercial customer and partner conversations.

Location: Candidates based on the East Coast of the U.S. are preferred, as the majority of regional travel will be within this zone.

Qualifications

• At least 10 years of professional sales experience selling high-end technology software solutions to commercial R&D and engineering teams, with a proven track record of achieving revenue targets.
• Proven experience managing, coaching, and leading modern, role-specialized sales teams (including SDRs, Account Executives, Customer Success, and Renewals).
• Demonstrated success in new commercial business development, outbound pipeline generation, account growth, customer retention, and territory management.
• Strong communication, presentation, relationship-building, and business development skills.
• Strong organizational and analytical skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and cross-functional sales motions across commercial sectors and regions.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed. While the amount fluctuates, 20-30% travel is typical.
• US Citizenship required.

Requirements

• Existing executive relationships within key commercial sectors (Healthcare/MedTech, Robotics, Industrial Automation, Smart Energy, or Intelligent Transportation).
• Experience leading a commercial sales organization through a period of rapid growth or market expansion.
• Familiarity with embedded software, real-time systems, middleware, or other mission-critical technology solutions.
• Technical background in engineering, software, or computer science.

Benefits

• Flexible working schedule.
• Remote working + Home Office Stipend to cover the costs of working from home.
• Flexible Paid Time Off + “Real Vacation Bonus,” an additional bonus for taking more than 1-week of uninterrupted vacation.
• Annual bonus based on individual and company performance + other prizes and awards.
• We recognize employees for their achievements, offer great opportunities for career growth and development, and provide the tools they need to succeed.
