About The Position

We are looking for a Manager, Commercial Sales to lead and grow our Commercial/SMB segment. You will manage a team of high-velocity sellers focused on commercial customers and be responsible for building pipelines, driving conversion, and delivering revenue. You will report directly to the Director, Commercial Sales and align closely with her leadership style: collaborative, hands-on, data-aware, and very focused on coaching and development. This role is a mix of building and operating: you’ll be expected to refine the motion we have, create what doesn’t exist yet, and consistently raise the bar on performance in a way that is clear, fair, and supportive. Horizon3.ai is in a period of rapid growth. Priorities will evolve, processes will mature, and we’ll learn as we go. The right person for this role understands that this comes with real work and occasional ambiguity, and is energized by the opportunity to help shape how the Commercial scales.

Requirements

7–10 years of total experience in B2B SaaS or technology sales.
2–4 years of frontline sales management, leading SMB/Commercial AE or similar high-velocity teams.
Direct exposure to cybersecurity or security tooling, either: At a security-focused vendor, or Through sustained selling into security, DevOps, or IT buyers (e.g., CISOs, security leaders, DevOps/Cloud, IT operations).
Demonstrated quota over-achievement as both an IC and a manager, with clear examples of targets and outcomes.
Strong coaching and people-development skills: You invest in helping people improve and grow. You’re able to address performance issues in a way that is direct, fair, and focused on outcomes.
Clear, confident communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
A data-informed approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and productivity, using numbers to support decisions rather than drive everything.
High initiative and follow-through; you don’t need a fully built playbook to start making progress and you close the loop on what you commit to.
Experience designing or refining outbound programs and campaign-based motions that drive net-new pipeline.
Comfort working closely with the Director, Commercial Sales and acting as an extension of her leadership style, reinforcing shared standards and expectations within the Commercial/SMB pod.
Genuine interest in cybersecurity and offensive security, and the ability to learn and explain technical concepts in straightforward language.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Build and maintain career paths and development plans for team members, preparing them for promotion into AE and other sales roles where it makes sense.
Help create a supportive, accountable team culture that balances encouragement and recognition with clear expectations and follow-through.
Stay current on Horizon3.ai’s cybersecurity and offensive security offerings, the broader security landscape, and buyer needs, then translate that into talk tracks, discovery questions, and plays your team can use.
Champion process and tooling improvements in Salesforce, Salesloft/Outreach, LinkedIn Navigator, and other systems to drive consistency and scale.
