• Conduct regular coaching/training sessions and shadow key meetings to coach managers on navigating the complex, consensus-driven needs of law firms.
• Shift the team from transactional selling to value-based consultative selling tailored specifically to legal sector pain points.
• Introduce robust account planning methodologies that enable Sales Managers to treat law firms as enterprise portfolios rather than single entities.
• Audit the current sales process to identify bottlenecks causing stalled deals in the mid-to-late stages of the pipeline.
• Recruit top-tier sales talent, maintain rigorous performance management frameworks to drive accountability, and foster a high-performance culture that actively develops and retains high-earning sales managers.
• Work closely with Marketing, Product, and RevOps to ensure the sales team has what it needs, whether that's content, tooling, or strategic alignment, to perform effectively.
• Shape the future of the function, driving innovation and operational excellence.
• Inspire and empower, developing future leaders and creating a high-performing culture aligned to our goals.
• Champion a culture of security and compliance, driving strategic initiatives that protect Shieldpay from evolving threats.
• Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate security risks, ensuring operational resilience and promote security awareness through training and development.
• Play a pivotal role in shaping our culture by leading initiatives to enhance our inclusive, and high-performing environment.
• Create a strong sense of belonging and purpose through team-building activities, recognition programs, and mentorship.
• Align performance management processes with our values and reward behavior that exemplifies our culture.

Requirements

• Experience within the legal ecosystem, either via a proven track record of selling solutions to law firms or through a professional legal background.

• Demonstrated success in driving revenue by empowering sales teams and securing high-value deals.
