About the Role

Sisense is scaling rapidly in AI-powered embedded analytics. Our API-first platform empowers builders to infuse intelligent insights into apps and workflows, driving decisions for over 2,000 global customers. We're seeking a Head of Sales to implement modern GTM and sales operations, scale and elevate our sales team, and drive scalable, predictable revenue growth.

This is a hands-on senior leadership role: You'll own sales strategy and execution, cultivate a data-driven, high-performance culture, and bridge US field teams with Israel-based Product and Engineering for seamless alignment. Perfect for a proven builder who thrives on coaching teams, driving PLG/SLG motions, and turning market insights into major wins in a collaborative, cross-geographic environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute a strategic sales plan to hit and exceed revenue targets, incorporating hybrid PLG/SLG motions for repeatable, scalable, and predictable growth.
  • Build and optimize modern sales infrastructure - including operating cadence (MBRs/QBRs), pipeline rigor, accountability frameworks, metrics-driven continuous improvement, and highly accurate forecasting, planning, and budgeting.
  • Structure and scale the sales organization for peak performance - recruit, train, and mentor top talent, elevate the team with high-performers, and cultivate a collaborative, results-driven culture that empowers A-players while making decisive calls to maintain excellence.
  • Lead deep US-Israel partnership - bridge the US field organization with Israel-based Product and Engineering teams to channel market insights into the roadmap, ensure solutions perfectly align with customer needs, and foster mutual respect for seamless cross-geographic execution.
  • Drive GTM strategies with strong data analytics - partner closely with Marketing and Product on segmentation, account planning, coverage models, and sales methodologies; proactively identify and prioritize high-potential segments and opportunities.
  • Own key enterprise relationships - build lasting trust with senior decision-makers, guide complex sales cycles from start to close, and maximize revenue, efficiency, and customer satisfaction through tight alignment across Sales, Customer Success, and Delivery teams.
  • Contribute to senior leadership discussions - deliver actionable market and voice-of-customer insights, emerging trends, and new opportunity assessments; support data-backed strategic direction and company priorities.

What We're Looking For

Go-to-Market & Sales Leadership

  • 10+ years in B2B SaaS sales, with 5+ years in senior leadership roles focused on building and scaling high-performing teams (not just managing established ones).
  • Proven player-coach track record: Hands-on involvement in complex deals, cultivating strong C-level relationships, and transforming sales organizations through hybrid PLG/SLG motions to deliver measurable revenue wins and accelerated growth.

Team & Culture Building

  • Led sales or revenue teams of 20+ members; an empowering, trust-based leader skilled at coaching high-performers, raising performance standards, and attracting top A-players to build elite teams.
  • Strong ownership, resilience, and growth mindset: Proven ability to navigate challenges, motivate teams through adversity, and keep everyone aligned on objectives during dynamic growth phases.

Data-Driven & Tech Orientation

  • Advanced analytics and forecasting discipline: Leverage rigorous funnel health analysis, predictive modeling, and AI-enhanced metrics (e.g., deal probability scoring, win/loss drivers, real-time pipeline velocity) to inform strategic planning, reduce bias, and drive precise, actionable decisions.
  • Implement robust operational strategies and processes: Ensure seamless Sales-CS-Delivery alignment to maximize revenue efficiency, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction through cohesive workflows and shared KPIs.
  • Maintain cutting-edge knowledge of industry trends and technologies: Stay ahead in BI, analytics, and AI advancements to continuously enhance sales tools, reporting infrastructure, forecasting accuracy, and overall data-driven execution.

Education & Competencies

  • Bachelor’s (MBA/advanced degree preferred).
  • Leadership strengths: Driving a performance-based culture (clear expectations / accountability / meritocracy), customer value linking, building / developing teams (mentoring success stories), strategic thinking (anticipate opportunities / risks).

East Coast Based:

To ensure seamless daily collaboration with our Product and Engineering core teams, this role is open to candidates currently residing in the Eastern Time Zone (ET).

Why Sisense?

  • Massive impact: Lead revenue engine during AI-embedded analytics surge — real ownership in growth mode.
  • Collaborative culture: Invested in long-term growth, cross-functional (US-Israel bridge), coaching-focused (aligns with COO's empowerment style).
  • Competitive rewards: Attractive base + variable/equity, benefits, modern tools to win.
