This role exists to build, scale, and lead the revenue engine that will define Chegg Skills’ growth. We are looking for a Head of Sales who is more than a sales manager. This is a strategic, operational, and hands-on leader who can design systems, drive performance, coach teams, and close meaningful deals while navigating ambiguity.

  Direct B2B

  Channel partners

  Government

  Higher education

  Workforce and enterprise buyers

• Design and implement scalable sales processes, playbooks, and operating rhythms

• Own pipeline management, forecasting, and sales velocity metrics

• Build systems that drive consistency, clarity, and performance

• Establish clear performance standards and accountability frameworks

• Create processes that connect Sales with Product, Marketing, Operations, Engineering, and Leadership

• Build and lead a high-performing, low-ego sales organization

• Set the tone for culture, execution, and accountability

• Lead daily standups, pipeline reviews, and deal strategy sessions

• Facilitate deal swarms for high-value opportunities

• Step into deals when needed and coach in real time

• Develop talent through ongoing training, coaching, and performance management

• Partner closely with the Head of Marketing to align demand generation and revenue execution

• Serve as a trusted consultant to leaders across the organization

• Translate business priorities into clear sales motions and outcomes

• Bring a revenue perspective to company-wide decisions

• Operate effectively in an environment that combines startup speed with enterprise complexity

• Build structure where needed without slowing momentum

• Make smart decisions with imperfect information and adjust quickly

• Balance long-term strategy with immediate execution

You are not just a sales leader. You are a builder and architect of revenue systems.

• Proven track record of building and scaling sales organizations

• Deeply data-driven and detail-oriented

• Experience designing sales processes, playbooks, and operating models from the ground up

• Comfortable in strategy conversations and live deals

• Understand GTM across multiple channels and buyer types

• Skilled at coaching, training, and elevating sales talent

• Respected as both a leader and a partner

• Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

• Scrappy, resourceful, and execution-focused

• A clear, repeatable, and scalable sales process exists across the organization

• The pipeline is healthy, predictable, and aligned to revenue goals

• Sales velocity, conversion, and deal quality improve consistently

• The sales team is coached, confident, and accountable

• Marketing and Sales operate as true partners

• Product and other teams have strong feedback loops from the market

• Revenue becomes a function of system strength, not individual heroics

This is a defining role in building Chegg Skills’ growth engine. You will not inherit a finished system. You will design it, build it, and scale it.

If you are looking for comfort, this is not it.
If you are looking for ownership, influence, and the chance to build something meaningful, this is.
