Slack is the system of engagement for the Agentic Enterprise, where employees, AI agents and enterprise data meet. We are seeking a forward-thinking, consultative Sales Leader to drive our AI and workplace collaboration investments into enterprise organizations.
In this role, you will lead high-impact strategic discussions with C-level executives (CFOs, CROs, CIOs, CTOs) to reshape how modern go-to-market (GTM) teams work. Rather than selling point solutions or generic generative AI, you will guide enterprise leaders on how to consolidate disjointed sales tech stacks and anchor autonomous, agentic AI directly where their employees live and collaborate every day.
You will lead a highly visible, motivated sales team to achieve individual, team and organisational quotas, and contribute to the Slack and corporate sales strategy. Our Ohana culture is key to our success, so we're looking for a leader with energy, passion and the ability to inspire a dynamic team.
