ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Regional Vice President of Sales at Serval, you'll own a region and build the team to win it. This is the standard title for second-line sales leadership at companies like Wiz, Okta, and Datadog — and at Serval, it carries the same weight. You'll come in ready to lead frontline managers, scale a layered regional organization, and drive consistent, compounding revenue growth across your segment.

You'll define regional strategy, build territory architecture, and develop the next generation of sales leaders at Serval. This is not a pure people manager role — you'll stay close to the market, engage in strategic deals, and set the standard for what great looks like in your region.

You'll partner directly with GTM leadership, founders, product, and engineering to shape go-to-market strategy and ensure your region is positioned to win.

Regional Leadership

- Lead a second-line sales organization, managing and developing frontline sales managers and their AE teams

- Recruit, coach, and retain exceptional managers and individual contributors across your region

- Partner with GTM leadership on ICP refinement, pricing and packaging, and segment-specific positioning

- Translate market dynamics into strategic decisions around territory, resource allocation, and hiring priorities

Revenue Ownership

- Hold full accountability for regional quota attainment, pipeline coverage, forecast accuracy, and sales velocity

- Serve as an executive sponsor in key accounts and model elite selling behavior

Cross-Functional Partnership

- Collaborate with product, marketing, and engineering to surface regional feedback, influence roadmap priorities, and sharpen segment messaging

- Represent your region at the GTM leadership level, advocating for resources and investment

Travel approximately 25–50%.

- Deep understanding of full-cycle sales in technical or workflow automation solutions, selling to IT, Security, or Engineering buyers

- Skilled at coaching complex, multi-stakeholder deals with director to C-suite decision-makers
