JOB SUMMARY
Optis is hiring a Sales Director (Consulting Services) to drive new customer acquisition and grow revenue by selling across our full portfolio, including Strategy & Advisory, Technology Implementation, Value Capture, and Sustainment / Managed Services.
This is a full-cycle, consultative sales role with a strong hunter orientation. You will drive complex pursuits across enterprise, mid-market, and SMB accounts, balancing disciplined deal execution with consistent pipeline volume. You will lead structured pursuits end-to-end—driving discovery, aligning to executive priorities, facilitating workshops, building business cases, and guiding opportunities through 6–12-month sales cycles.
RESPONSIBILITIES
New Logo Acquisition & Pipeline Creation (Hunter Motion)
• Build and close a pipeline of net-new Optis customers
• Proactively source, create, and advance qualified pipeline through outbound efforts (“smile and dial,” account breaking, multi-threading)

• Maintain strong opportunity management discipline: qualification rigor, stage progression, and close plans
• Consistently achieve annual bookings quota and related KPIs
Executive Engagement & Domain-Led Selling
• Sell credibly into Procurement/S2P leadership (CPO organization) and, where relevant, engage Finance leaders (CFO org) depending on the offering and client structure
• Articulate Optis’ value clearly—linking transformation work to measurable business outcomes
Forecast & CRM Excellence
• Maintain disciplined qualification and forecast hygiene
• Keep CRM current and accurate, with clear next steps, close dates, deal risks, and mutual action plans
Partner Co-Sell Excellence (as applicable)
• Execute strong partner co-sell where relevant (while owning the pursuit and outcomes)
Partner & Delivery Alignment
• Execute strong partner co-sell motions where applicable, while owning the pursuit and outcomes
• Ensure a clean transition post-signature in partnership with delivery leadership
• After handoff, return focus to building pipeline and closing the next set of opportunities
