Senior Sales Manager

Responsibilities

• Be the Second-in-Command: Serve as the second-in-command to the Sales Director Pakistan; own day-to-day execution while your leader stays focused on strategy. Step in for the Sales Director when needed - in leadership forums, US partner conversations, and tough team moments.
• Own Direct Manager Relationships: Run direct 1:1s with 3+ frontline Sales Managers; set expectations, calibrate their coaching, build their development plans, and hold them to a clear performance bar. Do not rely on shared or skip-level rhythms to develop your managers.
• Translate Strategy into Execution: Absorb leadership priorities and convert them into SMART goals, structured cadences, and accountability loops that land across the full manager/rep org of 25-30 SDRs. Roll strategic initiatives out across the team and drive them to completion.
• Run the Operating Engine: Run a tight operating cadence - weekly pipeline reviews, monthly performance reviews, QBRs, ramp plans, attrition tracking, and forecasting. Use SFDC and conversation intelligence (Gong) as the basis for coaching, staffing, and forecasting calls.
• Develop the Next Layer of Leaders: Coach managers on coaching; develop a manager bench from high-performing ICs; create the structured development pathways that make Islamabad a place where sales leaders grow.
• Partner Cross-Functionally: Collaborate with our Go-To-Market (GTM), Operations, and Enablement teams - and with US-based sales leadership - to improve lead flow, inform GTM strategy, and ensure the Islamabad team is equipped to win in the US market.
• Champion brightwheel Values: Lead by example across key leadership principles - Take Ownership, Think Critically, Move Fast, Deliver Value for Customers, and Get Better Every Day.
• What you've done
• Manager-of-Managers Experience in SaaS: 2-4 years managing managers in a SaaS sales environment - required, not preferred. You've owned the development of frontline managers, not just reps, and you can name the managers you've grown to next-level scope.
• SDR Leadership Background: You've specifically led an SDR motion at scale - not just AE or full-cycle teams. You understand the unique dynamics of a high-volume SDR floor and what it takes to make it perform consistently.
• Second-in-Command Readiness: You've operated as a second-in-command (or you're clearly ready to). You can temporarily cover for a Sales Director - including in front of senior leadership - and you operate with the strategic context to make calls in their absence.
• Owns Direct Manager 1:1s and Accountability Loops: You build direct relationships with your managers and run their 1:1s yourself. You set the expectations, build the structured development plans, and hold managers accountable to a clear bar
