About the role
Most sales leadership roles are built around a narrow focus: new logo and expansion ACV. This is not a standard VP of Sales role. The CCO owns the entire commercial lifecycle - from first conversation to renewal to expansion - across a defined institutional client base. You're not just running a quota-carrying team; you're running a business unit. That means revenue accountability, cross-functional leadership, workforce planning, compensation design, and a multi-year growth strategy. If you're looking for a role where you hand off the account after close, this isn't it. This is a role for someone who wants to run the whole business. We're looking for a Chief Commercial Officer, GTM to own the full commercial motion across North America - new logo acquisition, account expansion, renewals, and the operational infrastructure that makes it all run. Our clients are institutional - asset managers, allocators, wealth platforms, hedge funds - and they expect a different level of engagement than a typical Enterprise B2B transaction. Relationships are long, deals are complex, and retention is earned every year. You'll inherit a team of ~15 and a mandate to grow it and you will report to the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Your job is to assess what's working, rebuild what isn't, and install the discipline and culture that scales.

Requirements
- Industry
- Deep domain knowledge in institutional investment management - you understand how asset managers, allocators, wealth platforms, hedge funds, and family offices buy, budget, govern vendor relationships, and renew.
