We're building out a dedicated sales function at Playbook and need a Sales Lead to own it. This person runs our creator acquisition pipeline end-to-end — from sourcing leads to closing deals — and also manages and develops the team doing it. Every new Creator Manager (CM) coming into Playbook will report through this function until we scale further.
If you love data, accountability, and driving a team to hit meaningful numbers, read on.
