About the Role
As the Commercial Sales Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading a team of quota-carrying Account Executives focused on driving new and expansion revenue within the SMB segment. While this is a full-time leadership role, your onboarding will include a temporary immersion period where you’ll step into the AE role to gain firsthand experience with Canary’s sales motion. This hands-on exposure will set the foundation for effective coaching, performance management, and team leadership. Your ability to drive performance, develop talent, and operate with a data-first mindset will be critical to success as we scale our sales team.

- Drive performance through effective sales management: one-to-ones, pipeline reviews, forecasting, and quota tracking
- Partner with Sales Enablement to identify skills gaps and run targeted training
- Collaborate cross-functionally to streamline sales processes and remove blockers
- Participate in AE hiring and onboarding to help grow and scale the team
- Serve as a cultural leader and help build a high performance, collaborative sales environment
Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience managing teams of quota carrying AEs in a B2B SaaS environment
- 3+ years of successful experience as a quota carrying AE, ideally in SMB/MM SaaS
- Strong familiarity with high-velocity, transactional sales motions
- Experience in hotel tech/hospitality tech is a huge plus
- Data-drive approach to coaching and decision-making
- Must be located in the DFW metroplex
