The Head of New Business Sales will develop sales strategies, manage a team, and design outbound sales processes to drive net new business growth.
The Opportunity
TrustArc is entering a new phase of growth following our recent acquisition and is building a world-class, global go-to-market engine. The Head of New Business Sales will play a mission-critical role in this transformation and report directly to the Chief Revenue Officer. This is a role for a builder, not a maintainer: you will own net-new logo growth and be accountable for turning our strategy into a high-performing new business motion.
You will design and lead our outbound and pipeline-generation engine, defining segments, territories, outreach strategies, and execution standards for the team. You’ll refine how we convert demand into revenue, from prospecting and discovery through to close, while working closely with Marketing, Solutions Engineering, and Revenue Operations to improve lead quality, win rates, and new ARR. In doing so, you will help shape both the strategy and the team that fuels TrustArc’s global expansion.
What You Will Do
- Lead and manage a team of high performing Account Executives focused exclusively on net new acquisition.
- Build a strong outbound sales motion with repeatable processes, talk tracks, sequences, objection handling, and prospecting frameworks.
- Partner closely with Marketing to align on growth marketing, demand generation strategy, pipeline targets, campaign execution, and lead conversion expectations.
- Work closely with Solutions Engineers to deliver high impact demos, strengthen product feedback loops, improve technical discovery, and increase win rates.
- Collaborate with Revenue Operations to refine forecasting processes, improve funnel analytics, optimize territory coverage, and strengthen sales productivity metrics.
- Implement operational rigor across Salesforce and Gong including activity expectations, call reviews, pipeline hygiene, and deal inspection.
- Create outbound and inbound playbooks that increase velocity at every stage of the funnel from MQL to Close.
- Coach Account Executives on buyer engagement, qualification, discovery, competitive positioning, and multi stakeholder deal strategy.
- Drive accurate forecasting and predictable revenue planning through disciplined use of Salesforce and strong pipeline management.
- Meet with prospects to understand their privacy needs and influence the evolution of TrustArc’s commercial strategy.
- Recruit, ramp, and continually develop Account Executives while building a high accountability, performance oriented team culture.
- Roll out enablement for new products including Arc and evolving GTM motions across regions.
- Identify process gaps, remove friction, and partner with Marketing, Solutions Engineering, Revenue Operations, Customer Success, and Product to strengthen the overall revenue engine.
What You Will Bring
- Minimum ten years sales experience generating net new business for a B2B technology company, including experience selling Data Privacy or Security software to mid-market and enterprise customers.
- Minimum five years frontline sales leadership experience owning a new business quota.
- Has built outbound engines from the ground up including sequences, messaging, daily activity expectations, dashboards, and playbooks.
- Experience partnering with Solutions Engineers to improve discovery quality, demo impact, and technical validation.
- Strong partnership experience with Revenue Operations including forecasting practices, Salesforce optimization, territory planning, and metric design.
- Deep proficiency using Salesforce and Gong for pipeline management, deal inspection, coaching, and performance evaluation.
- Experience operating in a fast-paced, high-change environment where processes evolve quickly.
- Track record of hiring, developing, and leading teams that exceed quota.
- Knowledge of privacy, security, governance, or compliance technology is beneficial but not required.
- A builder’s mindset with a bias for action, ownership, and continuous improvement.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation package
- Health, Vision, and Dental Care (also available for partner)
- Endless PTO Program
- 100% Work from Home
