About the Role
As Enterprise Sales Lead, you will drive new business growth by selling Orbit Online, our recently launched, market leading recurring billing product. This is a player-coach role: you will hold your own quota and run a heavy outbound motion as an individual contributor, while building out our enterprise sales processes and managing a team of two (one Enterprise and one SMB salesperson). 

It suits someone who thrives on building their own pipeline, is equally comfortable booking the first meeting and negotiating the final contract, and enjoys helping others lift their performance.

This is a hybrid role from our Sydney or Melbourne office.

• Work with solutions and delivery teams to move deals from first meeting through to live rollout.

• Set standards for pipeline, activity and forecast data, and feed field learnings back into messaging, process and enablement. 

Team mentoring 

• Mentor and support one Enterprise and one SMB salesperson through regular one-on-ones, pipeline reviews and deal coaching. 

• Lead by example through your own outbound activity and deal execution.

• Resilience, discipline, and a high work rate, with confidence influencing senior executives. 

• Strong commercial acumen across proposals, pricing and contract negotiation, and excellent communication skills.
