Director, Sales & Customer Success

• Team leadership: Lead, coach, and develop the Specialty Sales Reps and Customer Success team members, driving a consistent standard for pipeline discipline, activity, and quota attainment across today's independent role structure.
• Hiring plan: Propose the hiring plan for the sales organization — headcount, sequencing, and role design — and lead sourcing and interviewing for open and new roles, with final signoff from the Chief Growth Officer on all hires.
• Enterprise/Specialty coordination: Partner closely with the Chief Growth Officer and Enterprise Sales Reps to operationalize the Enterprise/Specialty commercial model, including clear collaboration rules, deal routing, and account hand-offs so opportunities move smoothly between system-level and program-level conversations.
• Sales management: Own day-to-day sales management: pipeline reviews, forecasting, deal coaching, territory and account assignment, and performance management across the sales team.
• RevOps partnership: Partner closely with the Sales/RevOps Manager, who owns HubSpot CRM administration, on pipeline stages, forecasting logic, activity tracking, and reporting needs for the sales organization, ensuring the system reflects how the team actually sells and stays aligned with NetSuite for revenue and contract data.
• AI & automation: Actively identify and implement AI-enabled workflows and automation across the sales process — prospecting, call preparation, proposal generation, CRM hygiene, and reporting — to reduce manual work and increase rep capacity for client-facing time.
• Pod model transition: Partner with the CGO and RevOps to design and lead the organization's transition from today's independent-role structure toward a regional pod model, including defining what a fully functioning pod looks like, sequencing the rollout, and building the commission, territory, and process infrastructure to support it.
• Brand evolution: Support Empower's evolution from a house of brands to a branded house — helping shape how sales and business development represent “One Empower” in the market, and ensuring reps can speak to the platform as well as their individual program or brand.
• Cross-sell strategy: Drive cross-sell and expansion motion across Empower's seven subsidiary brands, ensuring Specialty Reps understand the full portfolio and know when to pull in an Enterprise Rep or a peer Specialty Rep on a joint opportunity.
• Market presence: Attend key industry conferences and events to build brand awareness, represent Empower's platform in the market, and develop networking and collaboration opportunities that support pipeline and partnership development.
• Onboarding & ramp: Build and execute onboarding and ramp plans for new and existing sales hires, defining clear milestones for productivity and quota readiness.
• Implementation hand-off: Partner with Implementation Success under operations and the Program Delivery team to ensure a clean hand-off process from sale to implementation, with clear accountability for adoption and renewal signals feeding back into the sales process.
• Executive reporting: Provide regular, decision-oriented pipeline, forecast, and team-performance updates to the CGO and executive leadership, including clear visibility into hiring progress and the pod-model transition.
• Voice of the field: Represent the voice of the field sales team in shaping go-to-market strategy, marketing plans, and product/program feedback loops.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in business, healthcare administration, or a related field; equivalent experience considered.
• Sales leadership experience: 7+ years of progressive sales experience, including 3+ years directly managing and coaching a field or specialty sales team, ideally in a healthcare, behavioral health, human services, or public-sector-adjacent environment.
• Builder track record: Demonstrated success building or scaling a sales function, with a track record of turning a high-level structure into working process, tools, and team habits.
• Pipeline & CRM discipline: Strong pipeline management and forecasting discipline, with hands-on CRM fluency; direct experience with HubSpot strongly preferred.
• RevOps/ERP comfort: Comfort partnering with finance/RevOps on data that lives in an ERP system; familiarity with NetSuite a plus.
• Multi-buyer coaching: Proven ability to coach a team selling complex, consultative offerings to multiple buyer types (e.g., government/system-level buyers and program-level clinical or operational buyers), and to instill judgment about how and when to route opportunities between them.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Excellent coaching, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills; able to work effectively with sales reps, marketing, RevOps, Customer Success, and program delivery leadership.
• Hiring experience: Direct hiring experience — sourcing, interviewing, and building a business case for candidates — and comfort proposing a hiring plan to an executive stakeholder for final approval.
• Customer Success: Experience leading or managing a customer success, account management, or renewal function.
• RevOps partnership model: Experience partnering with a RevOps, sales operations, or CRM administrator function rather than owning the system directly — comfortable influencing CRM process and data standards through collaboration.
• AI enthusiasm: Genuine enthusiasm for using AI and modern sales tools to improve team productivity, with a track record of introducing new tools or workflows that reps actually adopt.

• Sector experience: Experience in behavioral health, evidence-based programs, child and family services, human services, education, or criminal justice/juvenile justice markets.
• Government/MCO selling: Experience selling or managing sales into government and managed care organization (MCO) buyers, including familiarity with multi-year, multi-program contract vehicles.
• Comp design: Experience designing or refining commission plans and territory structures alongside RevOps or sales operations.
• Structural transitions: Experience leading a sales team through a structural transition — such as moving from individual contributor roles to a pod, squad, or territory-team model.
• Brand consolidation: Experience supporting a brand or portfolio consolidation — e.g., helping a multi-brand organization move toward a single, unified market-facing identity or platform story.
• Conference representation: Comfortable and effective representing an organization at industry conferences and events, with a track record of turning conference presence into pipeline, partnerships, or brand visibility.
• AI tools: Hands-on experience with AI-enabled sales tools (e.g., AI note-taking, call intelligence, prospecting or proposal automation) and a point of view on responsible, effective adoption — including sound judgment around data privacy, accuracy, and appropriate human review.
• Lean/fast-moving orgs: Experience working in a lean, fast-moving commercial organization where the leader is expected to be both strategic and hands-on.

• Background Check: Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, consistent with applicable law and Empower's standard hiring practices.
• Confidentiality: This role may involve exposure to confidential organizational, financial, and/or clinical program information. The employee must maintain strict confidentiality and comply with Empower's internal data governance and confidentiality policies.
• Work Environment: This is a remote, computer-based position requiring prolonged periods of sitting and extended use of a computer, keyboard, and video-conferencing tools, along with travel of approximately 25–35% of the time for in-person meetings, client engagements, and industry conferences. Reasonable accommodations will be made for qualified individuals with disabilities in accordance with the ADA.
