Lifted is hiring a Senior Director of Enterprise Sales to lead and scale our contingent workforce enterprise sales motion while directly driving net-new revenue.

This is a senior player/coach role. You will carry a personal quota, lead complex enterprise deals end-to-end, and build a repeatable engine for landing new logos. You are expected to lead from the front, closing business while defining how Lifted sells into large enterprise accounts. You will build and scale a high-performing enterprise sales team, turning early wins into a repeatable, scalable engine.

What You’ll Do

New Logo Acquisition

• Build pipeline and land new enterprise logos (via direct sales / RFIs & RFPs)

• Lead discovery across workforce strategy, compliance, procurement, and technology

• Develop deal strategy and commercial proposals

Build the Enterprise Sales Playbook

• Define and refine Lifted’s enterprise sales playbook

• Translate market trends into stronger positioning and deal strategy

This role is for you if
