About the Role:

We are looking for a high performing frontline Sales Manager, to lead a team of Account Executives focused on growing new business within our Premier Mid Market Sales segment. This is a tremendous opportunity to join a high-performing sales division in an industry that is rapidly expanding. 

A bit about the Mid-Market Segment:

Motive has three segments: SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise. Mid-Market is broken into two divisions: Emerging and Premier. Premier Mid Market is defined as any company with a total fleet size of between 80-399 vehicles.  To put that in perspective, it’s a hybrid sales org where the AE’s have approximately 4+ years of quota carrying experience, are owning the full sales cycle, with ability to sell remotely as well as travel onsite. The sales process involves a technical win, oftentimes with a hardware/software trial (POC). The AE’s are paired with Sales Engineers, while the CSM team owns renewals. There are currently 5 RSM teams, with a target headcount of between 6-8 AE’s per RSM.  The organization is based on account sets and round robins, not geographic territories. 

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record hiring, managing, scaling and optimizing SaaS sales teams to consistently perform at or above quota. This candidate will report directly to a Mid Market Sales Director and will be part of the tight-knit Mid Market Sales Leadership team, managed by the VP of Sales.

What You'll Do:

  • 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)

What We're Looking For:

  • 3+ years experience as a frontline sales manager, directly managing Expansion Account Executives in Software and/or Software/Hardware Sales
  • Identify areas of opportunity, recommend solutions, take ownership of implementation and/or project management if in another dept’s domain
  • Demonstrate a deep understanding of the business by sharing insights, the root causes behind changes in KPI’s, the frequency and impact of these root causes and your recommendations to double down or course correct as needed
  • Exhibit a competitive mindset, always striving for success
  • Receptive to feedback, willingness to learn and embrace continuous improvement
  • Knows what results are important, and focuses resources to achieve them
  • Keenness and quickness in understanding and dealing with business situations
  • Transportation or Logistics experience preferred - this can be removed*
  • Strong experience with Salesforce or other CRM and sales technologies for forecasting, pipeline management, and sales acceleration
  • Bachelor's Degree required

As set forth in Motive’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
