What the job involves
- We are looking for a high performing frontline Sales Manager in SaaS, to lead a team of Account Executives in the Mid-Market Sales segment.
- This is a tremendous opportunity to join a high-performing sales division, in a fast-paced, high-performing company, in an industry that is rapidly expanding
- Motive has three segments: SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise. Mid-Market is defined as any company with a total fleet size of between 50-149 vehicles
- The sales process involves a technical win, oftentimes with a hardware/software trial (POC). The AE’s are paired with Sales Engineers throughout the sales cycle, and the Account Management team owns the relationship post-close
- There are currently 11 RSMs with roughly 7 AE’s per RSM. The organization is based on account sets and round robins, not geographic territories
- This candidate will report directly to a Director of Emerging Mid-Market and will be part of the tight-knit Mid-Market Sales Leadership team, managed by the VP of Sales
- Meet or exceed monthly and quarterly quota targets
- Interview, hire, ramp and develop new talent to scale the organization
- Coach, up-level and support tenured AE’s to drive consistent, high-performance
- Ensure diligent execution of the sales processes
- Accurately forecast your team’s monthly and quarterly performance
- Identify opportunities for improvement and surface risk to plan achievement
- Collaborate with peers and cross-functional teams to improve internal processes (ie. SDR, SE, CSM Leadership, The Partners Team, Marketing, Sales Enablement, Product, Deal Desk)
Our take
Trucking is a huge but fragmented industry that was largely ignored by Silicon Valley until companies such as Motive (formerly KeepTruckin) came along. The integrated fleet management platform acts as air traffic control for trucks, bringing drivers online and into the 21st century.
The company offers both hardware and software solutions to freight companies, allowing them to manage their fleet and keep their drivers safe. One of these solutions is an AI-powered dashcam that detects unsafe driving behavior in real time and instantly alerts the driver.
The platform, which is used by over 120,000 companies, from small businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises, received $150 million in VC in 2025, which is being used to accelerate its investment in AI and grow its enterprise capabilities.
