Contract Intelligence Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Icertis is seeking a transformational Senior Director, Global Sales Development to lead and scale our global SDR organization within Growth Marketing.

This is not a traditional SDR leadership role. We need a leader who can evolve SDR from a lead-response function into a strategic account engagement engine aligned with Enterprise Sales, Growth Marketing, GTM plays, priority accounts, partner motions, and revenue outcomes.

The ideal candidate is both a player-coach and leader-coach who can set strategy, build operating discipline, develop managers, improve funnel performance, and personally engage in high-priority pipeline opportunities. Approximately 70% of the role focuses on leading and scaling the SDR organization, while 30% remains customer-facing to support strategic accounts, complex opportunities, pipeline creation, and revenue growth.  #LI-RS1
