Join a world-class technology company building tools to make online spaces safer.
As Senior Director of Sales, you’ll be “boarding a rocket ship” and helping us capitalize on our momentum to bring a market-defining product to the wider games industry. Together with your team and alongside leaders from our C-suite, product, marketing, partnerships, and account management teams, you’ll have opportunities to shape our strategies as well as to get your hands dirty on the front lines.
The salary for this position is set at $200,000/yr ($300,000 OTE). This position will operate under our hybrid policy with 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) in-office in Somerville, MA.

Role Responsibilities:

  • Manage the sales team (currently three FTEs); combining your enterprise sales experience with their knowledge of Modulate’s solution, processes, and pipeline
  • Work with the CEO, wider C-suite, and other company leaders to provide visibility into sales initiatives and needs, deepening the ways Modulate’s culture and cross-team processes bake in business intelligence
  • Rally the sales team to close deals! We’re first to market with a product that solves a burning problem, builds customer appreciation and engagement, and solves incoming regulatory challenges. You should be ready to leverage these advantages to bring in revenue, primarily through coaching your team plus, when appropriate, by diving in headfirst yourself

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience leading/managing a sales team and ability to translate a set of targets into "here's what we need in order to accomplish that"
  • Proven experience selling SaaS products within the games industry, ideally including sales to AAA studios

  • Familiarity with the scaling stage of a startup and the challenges which arise on cross-functional projects, and come prepared to help guide our team as we continue to grow
