New Business Sales Manager

New Business Sales Manager

At HopSkipDrive, our goal is to create opportunity for all through mobility.

We're a technology company that solves complex transportation challenges where there is a heightened need for safety, equity, and care. Through our marketplace, we connect kids, older adults, or anyone needing extra support to highly-vetted caregivers on wheels. Through our software, we solve the biggest transportation challenges facing schools and school districts around the country.

Founded by three moms as a solution to their own transportation challenges, we've now facilitated more than five million rides across over 17 states around the country. We continue to expand at a rapid pace, making the Inc. 5000 list four times, as well as the Deloitte 500 Fast-Growing Technology list. HopSkipDrive is a Series D company and has raised $100M in funding to date.

We are a driven, mission-focused team, passionate about transforming transportation through innovation and impact. Rather than just selling a service, we build lasting partnerships with school districts and government agencies, solving their toughest challenges with our vetted CareDriver marketplace and cutting-edge solutions.

• Foster Accountability : Expect and empower your team to demonstrate extreme ownership over their goals, quotas, and outcomes of our team.
• Grow Market Share & Influence : The industry is not static, neither are we. You will constantly reflect on, experiment with, and utilize an evolving suite of strategies and tactics to grow our market share and influence within our industry.
• Prioritize Time Management : Demonstrate ever-present organization, efficiency, and focus on what is most important for individuals and the overall team, empowering you and others to juggle multiple projects at once.
• Seek Constant Improvement : Demonstrate curiosity and malleability in your sales approach, strategies, and tactics. We are constantly training and refining our craft to stay ahead of the competition and support overall company and client needs.
• Partner Cross-Functionally : Collaborate with internal teams including Support, Product, Trust & Safety, Legal, and Operations to relay and ultimately implement team and client feedback, optimizing our offerings to their needs.
• In-Person Prospect Engagement : Dedicate up to 50% of your time to travel with your team members (including overnight) for meetings, follow-ups, and cold prospecting. This business and industry thrives on personal face-to-face interactions.
• Performance Management : Create and evaluate team territories, goals, expectations, and priorities. Measure progress, provide coaching, make adjustments, and supply reporting to leadership.
• Voice of the Team : Serve as the leader of the team and representative to leadership relaying team feedback, key market trends, changes, and opportunities.

You're passionate about scaling and mentoring a world-class sales team that will drive sales growth, and deliver impactful solutions to prospective clients.
