About the Role

As a Sales Manager at FareHarbor, you will own the performance, development, and execution of a team of Account Executives. You are accountable for results, not activity — and for building a culture where expectations are clear, coaching is rigorous, and performance is non-negotiable.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how to:

  • Coach sellers to target
  • Diagnose pipeline problems early
  • Hold tough performance conversations
  • Develop future leaders

What you’ll do here:

Team Performance and Results 

  • Lead a team of Account Executives to consistently achieve quarterly Closed Business (CB) and New Business (NB) targets
  • Ensure ≥70% of reps are at or above 80% of target each quarter
  • Own team forecasting with accuracy (±10%) and clear risk identification

Coaching & Development

  • Run weekly 1:1s focused on deal strategy, skills development, and performance gaps
  • Conduct regular deal reviews and pipeline rebuilds for underperforming reps
  • Develop and execute individualized coaching plans for bottom-quartile performers
  • Ensure new hires ramp effectively within their first 90 days

Execution & Operating Cadence

  • Lead weekly forecast, pipeline, and performance meetings
  • Enforce consistent sales process, qualification standards, and CRM hygiene
  • Identify issues early,  no end-of-quarter surprises
  • Partner closely with Enablement, Operations, and Leadership to remove friction

Talent & Accountability

  • Proactively manage performance, including formal improvement plans when required
  • Make clear, timely recommendations on promotions, role changes, or exits
  • Build internal bench strength by identifying and developing high-potential AEs
  • Model high standards, ownership, and professionalism

What success looks like (first 6-12 months)

  • Forecast accuracy improves and remains consistent
  • Performance issues are identified and addressed early
  • Top performers feel supported and challenged

  • Experience managing change, new processes, or performance resets

Preferred Qualifications

  • SaaS or marketplace experience
  • Experience leading teams through growth or transformation
  • Track record of developing reps into top performers or managers
  • Data-driven, operational mindset

Who thrives in this role: 

  • Leaders who love coaching and accountability
  • Operators who care about outcomes, not optics
  • Managers who run toward problems instead of avoiding them
  • People who want to build something great — not just manage what exists

Benefits
