Sales Manager

Your role

We're looking for a Sales Manager to lead the new business team at Workleap. Reporting directly to the VP of Revenue, you'll own one of the most important bets we're making right now: bringing the Workleap Agent to market and building the team, systems, and culture to do it well. This isn't a quota-management role. It's a coaching, strategy, and execution role — you'll lead from the front, set the standard for what great looks like, and make sure the field and the go-to-market strategy are always in sync.

Your impact:

• Drive quarterly new business ARR targets by building the conditions for every AE on your team to perform at their best — not just tracking numbers, but actively removing blockers and sharpening the play;
• Coach a team of AEs across SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise segments through consistent pipeline reviews, call shadowing, and growth conversations that actually move people forward;
• Own the sales strategy end to end — define it, implement it, and iterate on it to improve conversion rates and deal velocity;
• Deliver reliable, data-driven forecasts to the VP of Revenue so leadership can make clear decisions with confidence;
• Build a tight feedback loop between sales, marketing, and product so what the field hears directly shapes how Workleap evolves;
• Integrate AI tools into the team's daily workflow — from Gong for call intelligence to Claude for prep and enablement — to raise the ceiling on what a lean team can do.

Your team

You'll lead a team of 5 Account Executives covering English and French Canadian markets across SMB through Enterprise. The timing is deliberate — Workleap made a calculated move away from being a suite of HR point solutions and went all-in on something bigger: an agentic HR platform that works alongside managers, not just sits in their stack.

The Workleap Agent is that product, and your team is on the front lines of bringing that story to market for the first time. You'll inherit a team with real wins, real pipeline, and real momentum — and the challenge is to turn that into a repeatable, scalable machine.

What you'll bring

• +2 years of sales leadership experience in B2B SaaS — HRtech or adjacent is a strong asset;
• A strong track record as an AE or in business development with consistent quota overachievement — you know what good looks like because you've lived it;
• A reputation as a genuine sales coach who can lift a team's capabilities fast, not just manage performance after the fact;
• Discipline around pipeline management and CRM forecasting — you work with data, not around it;
• Clear, direct communication that lands equally well with your team and at the leadership table;
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where information is imperfect and priorities shift;
• Daily fluency with AI tools — Claude, Gong, HubSpot, Microsoft 365 — as real work accelerators, not experiments you're still warming up to.
