Local Hero is seeking a hands-on, growth-focused Sales Director to lead our SMB sales practice. This role combines leadership, coaching, and accountability to drive cold-to-close sales and subscription revenue through our franchise and agent markets. While you’ll occasionally join sales calls yourself, your primary mission is to develop the team, refine processes, and ensure quota attainment through structure, enablement, and execution. Local Hero is a MAAP – Marketing as a Platform – technology company that blends local digital media, dynamic ad creation, self-serve technology, and full-service value to create custom campaigns and increase consumer traffic for national brands and local franchisees.

Support daily sales activity across inbound and outbound channels — ensuring consistent messaging, qualification, and follow-up standards
Review and report sales metrics (pipeline, conversion rates, ACV, cycle time, win/loss) consistently to leadership
Own forecasting and pipeline accuracy in HubSpot
Partner closely with Marketing and Customer Success to align lead flow, nurture strategies, and customer retention handoffs
Develop playbooks and training plans to continuously improve team performance and onboarding efficiency
Occasionally run or join client sales calls — modeling best practices for discovery, demoing, and closing
Optimize systems and workflows for efficiency, visibility, and scalability
Drive accountability for activity, quality, and results across your team
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience
6+ years in B2B or SaaS sales

Highly organized and data-driven, with the ability to identify and remove roadblocks for your team
Nice to have:
You’ve built or scaled a high-velocity SMB sales motion (ideally franchise or channel-based)
You’re a coach at heart — you measure success by your team’s growth, not just your own deals
You know how to balance KPIs with morale and motivation
You thrive in dynamic, fast-growth environments and aren’t afraid to iterate
You’re proactive, confident, and deeply collaborative
You can toggle seamlessly between strategy, execution, and enablement
