About the Role
The Entrepreneurial Sales Manager will be a key commercial face of the company in the United States, responsible for creating incremental ARR through new-logo acquisition, enterprise account expansion, field engagement, and scalable partnerships. This is a hands-on, full-cycle sales role rather than a desk-based position. You will build a $2M+ qualified pipeline through 100% outbound prospecting, engage CHROs, VPs of Talent Acquisition, and hourly-hiring leaders, and sell measurable business outcomes such as reduced 90-day attrition, faster time-to-fill, and lower cost-per-hire. Success is measured by high-quality pipeline, incremental ARR, disciplined forecasting, and useful market intelligence returned to Product and Leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and manage a $2M+ US ARR pipeline through targeted outbound prospecting, using CRM discipline, AI-assisted research, and intelligent sequencing to create demand rather than wait for inbound leads.
- Own the full sales cycle from account targeting and executive engagement through discovery, ROI-based solution design, negotiation, close, and expansion, converting qualified opportunities into durable ARR.
- Prospect CHROs, VPs of Talent Acquisition, and hourly-hiring leaders across retail, hospitality, healthcare, quick-service restaurants, and grocery, connecting Cadient’s platform to measurable workforce outcomes.
- Expand existing customer relationships from individual products into multi-product SmartSuite™ accounts, using adoption, business impact, and customer priorities to identify and close cross-sell opportunities.
- Represent Cadient at NRF, SHRM, HR Tech, TA Week, and relevant field events, turning conversations and market visibility into qualified meetings, opportunities, partnerships, and revenue.
- Build RPO, HRIS/HCM, and technology partnerships that create scalable pipeline, while maintaining opportunity progression, CRM hygiene, forecast accuracy, and executive visibility into commercial performance.
- Return market intelligence to Product and Leadership, translating buyer needs, competitive signals, and frontline objections into sharper positioning, product priorities, and repeatable go-to-market decisions.
Essential Skills & Technologies
- Demonstrated B2B SaaS enterprise and mid-market selling experience, including a hunter track record and successful ownership of $150,000+ ACV deals.
- Consultative, ROI-led selling capability that links HR technology to reduced 90-day attrition, faster time-to-fill, lower cost-per-hire, and measurable customer economics.
- Strong outbound prospecting, account expansion, partnership development, CRM management, forecasting, and opportunity-control skills across complex buying groups.
- Experience with HR Tech, ATS, HCM, Workforce Management, MarTech, or adjacent SaaS solutions serving hourly-heavy industries.
- Comfort using AI, automation, CRM systems, and intelligent outbound tools to increase individual productivity and build pipeline at scale.
Additional Plus
- Existing relationships with CHROs, Talent Acquisition executives, RPO providers, HRIS/HCM firms, or technology partners in hourly-heavy industries.
- Experience converting trade shows, industry conferences, and field meetings into qualified enterprise pipeline and closed revenue.
- Background selling multi-product platforms where an initial land can expand into a broader strategic account.
