About the role

We are seeking a Sales Manager to join a growth-oriented team at a company that delivers tangible value to its clients and is well positioned in a niche market.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Customer Success and Leadership to align go-to-market strategy, refine messaging and ensure strong hand-offs.
• Identify and open new markets, segments or partnerships to extend The Mortgage Office’s reach beyond current core accounts.
• Report on team performance: analyze metrics such as pipeline sales velocity, conversion rates, average deal size, rep productivity, forecast accuracy and quota attainment.
• Build out the team over time: hire, train and onboard additional reps when needed to support growth objectives.
• Maintain strong understanding of The Mortgage Office’s product suite (origination, servicing, fund management) and articulate value in buyer conversations and deliver basic marketing level demos 
• Maintain a strong understanding of a menu of products and help deliver complex pitches in layman terms that are easy to understand
