About The Position

Middesk makes it easier for businesses to work together. Since 2018, we’ve been transforming business identity verification, replacing slow, manual processes with seamless access to complete, up-to-date data. Our platform helps companies across industries confidently verify business identities, onboard customers faster, and reduce risk at every stage of the customer lifecycle. Middesk came out of Y Combinator, is backed by Sequoia Capital and Accel Partners, and was recently named to Forbes Fintech 50 List and cited as an industry leader in business verification by digital identity strategy firm, Liminal. The Role: As the Mid-Market Sales Manager at Middesk, you will oversee a team of Account Executives and be responsible for achieving the team’s revenue goals. Your mission will be to develop and implement sales strategies focused on creating value for our customers, while building a team culture centered on coaching, accountability and winning. Collaborating with SDRs, Marketing and Account Management, you will develop pipeline generation programs to drive both new business and expansion opportunities. Leveraging your strong forecasting skills, you will work closely with Finance to ensure Middesk’s goals and objectives are met. You will foster a strong, collaborative team culture - a winning team that all Account Executives aspire to join. We follow a hybrid work model, and for this role, there is an expectation of 3 days per week in our NYC office.
