We are seeking a Sales Director, on behalf of a Professional Services firm, to help transition them from a reactive, referral-dependent growth model to a structured, proactive business development engine. This role will be responsible for building a national "Hunter/Farmer" team and aligning sales activity with technical service delivery.

Must-have requirements:

Professional Services Experience: You must come from an Accounting, Legal, or Management Consulting background. A key aspect here is understanding the nuances of selling "intangible" expertise and working alongside technical Partners.

Architectural Capability: We are not looking for a "lone wolf" salesperson. We need someone who can build the system: CRM workflows, lead-gen pods (SDR/BDM), and incentive plans.

The "Mid-Market" Sweet Spot: You need to have proven success in closing deals with 50k- 250k Annual Contract Value. You will be comfortable pitching to CEOs/CFOs of companies with turnovers between 2m and 10m.

"Partner-Fluent": Ability to command respect from key internal stakeholders; you must be able to translate "Sales Speak" into "Business Value" to get internal buy-in.

Data-Driven: Obsessed with pipeline velocity, conversion ratios, and Customer Acquisition Cost.

Entrepreneurial Resilience: Comfortable in a high-growth, M&A-heavy environment where processes may still be evolving.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain what is essentially a clean-slate, and build a pro-active team from the ground up within an established and well respected Professional Services Group. You will be well supported by a pro-active and involved CEO and COO.
