Location: Boston, MA (Hybrid - 3 days/week)
Travel: Up to 25%
About the Role
Validity is seeking a highly operational, data-driven Vice President of Sales to lead and optimize our global sales engine. This executive will be responsible for designing, implementing, and continuously improving the systems, processes, tools, and talent that drive scalable and predictable revenue growth.
The Vice President of Sales will focus on building a high-efficiency sales organization - from territory design and sales playbooks to pipeline management and forecast accuracy. Success in this role will be defined by the ability to run the mechanics of a complex go-to-market operation while leading with discipline, process rigor, and a commitment to continuous improvement. This role is for an operationally-minded Vice President of Sales who has experience optimizing the mechanics behind a revenue machine, and knows what it take to grow from $150M to $500M+ in ARR.
We are focused on identifying local candidates who can work a hybrid office-based position (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) in the team’s Boston, Massachusetts location. This role is not eligible for remote work or relocation.
Key Responsibilities
This role is ideal for a sales leader who thrives in complex systems, knows how to build scalable infrastructure, and understands that revenue performance is the product of disciplined execution across every aspect of the sales engine. This is a rare opportunity to own the mechanics of revenue growth at a company with momentum. Validity is at an inflection point: solid product-market fit, strong leadership, and ambitious targets. This is a great opportunity to take something to the next level by laying the tracks for the next stage of scale with the full support of executive leadership.
Base salary range $200,000 - $250,000, OTE range $400,000 - $500,000, plus benefits, bonus opportunities and stock options. Final salary may vary depending on skills, location, and/or experience.
