Automotive sales manager Jobs in Kansas City, KS

Join Us At SafetyCulture

We're a global tech company, just not the kind you're picturing. Our team of nearly a thousand people wakes up every day to make our product and our customers' lives better. At SafetyCulture, you'll hear "yes, let's give it a shot" more often than "that's not how we do things here." People join because we're building tools that make work better for the 3 billion people who keep the world moving - factory floor operators, baggage handlers, truck drivers, servers, store assistants. The ones who make things happen. The scale is big. But the ownership's personal. Every full-time team member gets equity - real skin in the game. When we grow, you do too. We're not perfect, no company is. But this next chapter of our growth is about scaling with intelligence, not just size - fueled by operational maturity, a clear vision, and a strong focus on AI. This is big tech impact, without the big tech ick. If that excites you more than it scares you, you'll fit right in.

The Role

We're looking for a high-impact Sales Manager to lead a team of Account Executives in driving expansion within existing customers (both within existing teams and business units, and throughout different parts of the account where we are not actively working), renewals and consistent overachievement of revenue targets. You'll actively work to develop sales talent, building repeatable sales motions, and ensuring your team executes with rigor and excellence.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead & Coach: Recruit, onboard, and continuously develop a team of high-performing sales professionals. Provide hands-on coaching in discovery, solution selling, negotiation, and closing.
• Drive Performance: Consistently hit or exceed team quota, pipeline coverage, and activity metrics. Hold the team accountable to performance expectations and operating rhythm.
• Operational Excellence: Own pipeline management and forecasting accuracy. Leverage data-driven insights to optimize productivity and conversion rates.
• Process Discipline: Ensure the team adopts and adheres to core methodologies (Mutual Action Plans, MEDDPICC, Sandler, ForceManagement etc.) and embeds them into daily execution.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with Marketing, BDR, Solutions Consulting, and Customer Success to drive pipeline generation, deal progression, and long-term customer value.
• Culture Carrier: Build a high-performance, team-first culture grounded in accountability, continuous improvement, and fun

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in SaaS sales leadership (managing a team of AEs)
• Consistent track record of leading teams to hit/exceed quota.
• Strong coaching capability able to identify gaps, give actionable feedback, and upskill reps quickly.
• Deep understanding of modern SaaS sales methodologies and playbooks.
• Data-driven and highly organized; excellent in pipeline inspection, forecasting, and metrics-driven management.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, scale-up environment where priorities shift and growth is constant.
• A natural motivator and culture-builder who leads with empathy, clarity, and accountability.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Be part of a high-growth SaaS company that's scaling global
• Join a sales organization where coaching and career growth are front and center.
• Competitive compensation package (base + commission + equity).
• An open, inclusive culture where your ideas and leadership make a real impact

We're committed to building inclusive teams and cultivating a sense of belonging so our people can bring their whole authentic selves to work each day. We seek to make reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process to create an even playing field for all candidates.
