Director of Sales

Outpost•Austin, TX

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Outpost is building the backbone of freight, reinventing how supply chain infrastructure works in America with carrier agnostic truck terminals. As a vertically integrated real estate, operations, and technology company, we acquire and operate mission-critical real estate across the country to serve the largest logistics providers in the world. Backed by $1B from Greenpoint Partners, we’re scaling and building the most valuable logistics network in the country. We thrive on accountability, integrity, and a shared drive to raise the bar. If you’re excited to reshape the industry alongside a high-performance team with a championship mindset that executes relentlessly, welcome aboard. As Director of Sales, you will own revenue for Outpost Gate Automation™ and lead the team that delivers it. Outpost Gate Automation™ began as infrastructure we built to run our own terminals. Customers asked to license it, and the technology business spun out because the market pulled it out. The strategy and the playbook already exist. This role is about execution — hiring and leading a team of Account Executives, driving disciplined adoption of the playbook across every rep, building the outbound motion that complements our inbound demand, and delivering the number. You will carry a personal quota on strategic accounts alongside your team.

Requirements

Hardware-enabled SaaS experience. Selling, or leading teams that sell, software with a physical hardware component — IoT, access control, industrial automation, connected devices, or comparable. We prioritize this over logistics industry experience.
8+ years of full-cycle B2B sales experience in enterprise software, industrial automation, or access control
3+ years directly managing quota-carrying Account Executives, including hiring, ramping, and performance management
A proven track record of closing six-figure deals with complex stakeholders
Experience building an outbound motion, not only managing one that was already running
Experience working cross-functionally in fast-paced startup or growth-stage environments
Familiarity with CRM systems and data-driven pipeline management. HubSpot a plus
Based in Austin or willing to relocate, with 40–50% travel

Nice To Haves

Freight, logistics, or supply chain experience is a plus, but secondary to the hardware-enabled SaaS background
