The Role

As the Head of Business Development, you’ll lead Gummicube’s sales team and help grow its software and services business. You’ll support a strong inbound sales process while building a more consistent outbound approach. This is a hands-on role: you’ll coach the team, work directly with customers, and improve how the team moves opportunities from first conversation to close.

What You’ll Do

• Set and carry out a sales plan that supports profitable growth and revenue targets.
• Keep inbound sales effective while building an outbound pipeline. Guide target-account selection, outreach, qualification, and follow-up.
• Coach and develop the team, and help hire as the business grows. Strengthen their discovery, stakeholder mapping, and proposal skills.
• Meet with prospective enterprise customers, understand their goals, and recommend the right mix of Gummicube products and services.
• Lead strategic deals through proposals, responses to customer requests, commercial negotiations, and close. Support renewal discussions and resolve new-business escalations.
• Work with strategy, analytics, creative, product, and client services teams to shape solutions that meet customer needs and can be delivered well.
• Improve pitch materials, pipeline tracking, deal reviews, and handoffs. Test sales messaging and use results to refine the approach.
• Partner with leadership on sales incentives and compensation plans that support revenue goals and team selling.
• Report pipeline, conversion, bookings, team performance, and forecast accuracy to Gummicube leadership.
• Represent Gummicube at customer meetings, conferences, trade shows, and team events.

What We’re Looking For

• At least 8 years of business development, sales, or revenue leadership experience, including ownership of inbound and outbound sales, enterprise pipeline development, and team performance.
• Experience leading consultative sales of software, services, or both. You can guide opportunities from prospecting and demonstrations through proposals, negotiation, and close.
• Experience selling to enterprise customers with multiple decision-makers and longer sales cycles, including negotiating six-figure annual contracts.
• Strong discovery and executive communication skills. You can identify customer needs, stakeholder priorities, budgets, and decision criteria, then build clear recommendations and business cases.
• Experience in mobile growth, app marketing, app store optimization, marketing technology, advertising technology, or a related market. You’re willing to deepen your knowledge of Gummicube’s products and services.
• Experience in a startup or growing business, where you’ve improved processes and balanced current inbound opportunities with longer-term outbound pipeline development.
• Strong sales operations skills, including forecasting, performance reporting, customer relationship management systems, sales process design, and team development.
• Knowledge of sales compensation, quotas, and incentive plans, along with the ability to work across teams and communicate clearly with customers and colleagues.
