About the Role The Company is seeking a Senior Vice President of Sales to lead its data consulting business, which is focused on data management and serves clients in the manufacturing, distribution, and retail sectors. The successful candidate will be responsible for driving the company's sales strategy, leading a sales team, and contributing to the business's transformation and scaling in line with the private equity sponsor's investment thesis. This includes both organic growth initiatives and the potential for M&A activities to expand the company's service offerings and global footprint. The role demands a passionate and committed leader with a strong sales orientation, experience in marketing, strategy, and operations, and a proven track record in a similar business model.
The ideal candidate for the Senior Vice President of Sales position at the company will have a background that aligns with the data management consulting business model, with a focus on data automation, analysis, and prediction. They should have a significant tenure of 20-35+ years, with experience as a top sales leader in a data consultancy of a certain revenue range or as a divisional sales leader within a larger enterprise. While not a requirement, experience in private equity is beneficial, and a solid background in M&A, particularly in cross-selling acquired products and services, is essential. The role requires a leader who can balance the company's history with a vision for the future, and who is capable of professionalizing sales functions as the business scales. The candidate should be a strategic thinker, adept at driving sales and marketing initiatives, and be prepared to take on a pivotal role in the company's growth and transformation.
