Vice President, US Enterpise Sales

Amplitude’s mission is to be the operating system for digital business. At its core, Amplitude provides a new window into digital customer behavior that helps businesses answer the question: “Where do we place our digital bets to maximize growth?” We approach challenges with humility, we take ownership of our contributions, and our growth mindset pushes us to constantly improve ourselves, each other, and the value we bring to customers and partners.

About The Role & Team

Join us and help to build our next phase of growth across the US. We are looking to hire a commercially minded and impactful, yet humble and people-driven, Vice President to run the entire North America region for Amplitude.

As the Vice President, you will set the strategic vision for the region, instill sales excellence across the teams and take a hands-on approach in building and scaling your teams.  You will also drive success across a team of Area Vice Presidents and Regional Sales Directors.

Reporting to the SVP of Worldwide Sales you will help Amplitude establish and drive success across the US, as we continue to rapidly scale our field teams over the remainder of 2021 and beyond. The ideal candidate will already be a successful sales leader, with a passion for getting things done, who thrives in a very fast-paced environment, and who will relish scaling our business across multiple geographies. You will also embrace, embody and lead with our core values ever present:  Humility, Ownership and Growth Mindset.

 As a VP of Sales, you will: 

• Be the in-region expert for US and develop a regional GTM strategy to reach sales goals set by senior leadership.
• Drive the strategy for hiring across the region with additional growth markets in 2022.
• Provide 2nd line management for a team of Area Vice Presidents and Regional Sales Directors. 
• Build and develop a strong and diverse team of sellers.
• Understand the core metrics of the Enterprise business, and use them to forecast the performance across several regions.
• Be the executive sponsor on key deals via onsite (when viable) and remote engagement with customers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure field marketing, product marketing, demand generation, partnership engagement, and sales engineering are allocated appropriately for success.
• Plan and communicate the path for growth per your region both in a formal annual planning capacity and on an ongoing basis.

You'll be a great addition to the team if you are:

• You have over 8+ years of leading multiple geo-based segmented SaaS sales teams - ideally in the Big Data, Analytics, Mobile or MarTech space.
• You have experience growing a region, including collaborating cross-functionally to establish brand new entities. 
• You’re data-driven and use metrics to understand how to coach and manage the qualitative elements of the business.
• You love hiring and recruiting the best possible talent and you’re also passionate about building a strong, diverse world-class Enterprise sales team.
• You have a playbook for executing complex Enterprise deals and you know when to leverage it and when to leave it behind.
• You’re passionate about getting hands-on with your sales leaders and team, to drive their success - you believe in and create a “servant leadership” style culture.
• You have a track record of leading outbound sales motions and are a process-orientated leader, able to fully implement and manage their business via chosen sales methodology (with a preference for MEDDPIC).
• You enjoy helping scale a high-performance Enterprise led business and identify and tackle the things we need to do in order to substantially grow the region's revenue year over year throughout the US.
