IQ Fiber•Jacksonville, FL

About The Position

The Senior Vice President of Sales is a high-impact senior leadership role reporting directly to the CEO. You will lead IQ Fiber’s sales organization across our three primary revenue engines - Residential (B2C), Community Development (MDU/HOA - B2B2C), and Commercial (B2B) - owning new customer connects, the sales-driven revenue plan, and the operating discipline that drives fit-for-purpose sales strategies, consistent execution, and delivered results in every market we serve. You will manage a sales leadership team across Commercial, Community Development, and Residential Sales, with Sales Operations also rolling up to you. You will partner closely with the Chief Marketing Officer on demand generation, brand alignment, and lead handoff; with Engineering and Construction on serviceable-area sequencing; and with Operations and Finance on forecast accuracy. You will build on the sales methodology, training programs, and operating systems already underway across the organization, ensuring continuity and accelerating reach across every market we serve. This is both a strategic and operational role - you will architect the framework, but you will also be in the markets, coaching leaders and reinforcing what works when it matters.
