Director, Enterprise Sales

“Sales organizations tend have a certain reputation, and this one has charted a refreshingly different path: the bar for performance here is high, but so is the bar for how you clear it. Our people are capable and move with urgency, and they're also kind, generous, and usually three steps into solving a problem before anyone thinks to ask, a combination that is rarer than it should be. The outbound story at Absorb is still being written. This role is a rare chance to hold the pen.”- Megan Bosch, VP Enterprise Sales

As the Director, Enterprise Sales at Absorb Software, you will be at the forefront of driving our growth by leading and managing the outbound sales process with prospective enterprise-level clients. This pivotal role requires a strategic thinker who excels in navigating complex relationships and executing a consultative sales approach.
