At Sinch we "Dream Big", "Win Together", "Keep it simple", and "Make it Happen". These values are our foundation! DESCRIPTION Sinch has a significant and time-sensitive opportunity in the North American enterprise voice market. Industry disruption and changes in the competitive landscape have created a window for Sinch to capture substantial new business and establish deeper strategic relationships with some of the largest communications customers in the market. We believe the next two years represent an unusually important opportunity to accelerate our position in Voice. We are looking for a Senior Director who can turn that opportunity into results. This is a builder role. You will quickly develop a deep understanding of the market, our capabilities, our customers and the competitive opportunity. From there, you will build the strategy, determine the coverage model, build and develop the team, create pipeline, and lead execution. You will report directly to the SVP of Sales, North America and operate alongside four peer sales leaders as part of the North American sales leadership team. Success will require both strategy and urgency. We need a leader who can see the opportunity, build the plan and then get personally involved in making it happen. What You Will Own: Build the Voice growth strategy. Develop a clear two-year plan to capitalize on the current market opportunity, including priority customer segments, competitive targets, account strategies, coverage, capacity and investment requirements. Build the organization to execute it. Assess the resources required, recruit and develop the right talent, establish clear roles and coverage, and create an operating model capable of scaling quickly. Create and convert pipeline. Establish an aggressive, disciplined prospecting and account-development motion focused on the highest-value opportunities. Maintain rigorous qualification, pipeline inspection and opportunity progression. Lead from the front. Personally engage in our largest and most strategic opportunities. Build relationships with senior customer executives, influence deal strategy, remove obstacles and help teams win complex competitive pursuits. Run the business. Own the forecast, pipeline, sales performance and operating cadence for Voice. Know the business at the customer and opportunity level and act quickly when performance is off plan. Drive competitive displacement. Develop repeatable plays that translate market disruption into customer conversations, qualified opportunities and wins. Work closely with Marketing, Product, Solutions Engineering and other teams to sharpen our positioning and accelerate execution. Build strategic customer relationships. Position Sinch as a long-term communications partner rather than simply an alternative supplier. Understand customers' infrastructure, resiliency, economics and growth priorities and connect them to Sinch's capabilities. Create organizational momentum. Operate effectively across Product, Marketing, Finance, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering and Operations to get decisions made, remove friction and move opportunities forward. What We Are Looking For: You are an experienced enterprise sales leader, but more importantly, you are a builder. You have demonstrated that you can en er a market or business with significant untapped opportunity, quickly understand what needs to happen, develop a credible plan, build the team and execute. You bring: • Significant enterprise sales leadership experience in Voice, telecommunications, CPaaS or closely related infrastructure markets. • Deep knowledge of the enterprise Voice ecosystem, competitive landscape and customer buying environment. • A track record of building or transforming sales teams and delivering substantial growth. • Experience winning complex competitive displacement opportunities. • Strong executive relationships and the credibility to engage senior leaders at large enterprise and communications customers. • The ability to move comfortably between strategy, recruiting, pipeline creation, account planning, deal execution and forecasting. • Strong commercial judgment and an understanding of the economics of large-scale communications businesses. • A disciplined approach to qualification, forecasting, account planning and opportunity management. • The ability to create urgency and accountability without sacrificing collaboration. • A bias toward action and the ability to operate successfully in a complex global organization. What Success Looks Like: The first priority is speed. Within your first months, you will understand the market opportunity, identify where Sinch can win, establish the strategy and coverage model, assess the existing organization and begin building the team required to execute. From there, success means turning the strategy into measurable pipeline and wins. You will create a focused portfolio of high-value competitive opportunities, establish executive relationships with priority customers, build a predictable pipeline and create a sales organization capable of converting the market opportunity into sustained growth. This is not a role where success is measured by producing a strategy. It is measured by executing one. The opportunity is significant. The window is finite. We are looking for a leader who wants to build something and make the most of it. OUR HIRING PROCESS We are committed to ensuring a recruitment process that is fair, objective, consistent, and inclusive. Our approach includes structured, competency-based interviews designed to evaluate your skills, experience, and qualifications relevant to the role. At times, we may include a data-driven assessment to enhance our hiring success and identify candidates likely to excel.
