The Director will partner closely with Sales leadership, Marketing Campaigns, Product Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Customer Success to drive aligned, account-centric pipeline motion across six global regions.

• Define and execute the global Account Development strategy within Octave's account-based demand model, aligned to ARR growth, pipeline sourcing, and cross-sell targets

• Establish clear performance metrics and accountability frameworks including pipeline sourced, cost per qualified opportunity, ADR-to-AE conversion, and influenced pipeline contribution
Pipeline Generation & Growth
• Own pipeline creation across both new logo and cross-sell motions, spanning inbound conversion and outbound account-based prospecting
• Operate within Marketing's ABM infrastructure to execute intent-driven, signal-based outreach coordinated with campaign programs; leverage Demandbase for account prioritization and engagement scoring
• Drive ICP-based account segmentation and tiering to maximize ADR focus on highest-value accounts across key verticals including EPC, energy, utilities, and public safety
Operational Excellence
• Implement and continuously optimize ADR processes, tooling, and cadences across Salesforce, Salesloft, and Demandbase; drive adoption and operational consistency across all regions
• Leverage data and analytics to continuously refine outreach strategies; own reporting across pipeline velocity, ADR-to-AE conversion, cost per opportunity, and sourced-vs-influenced pipeline contribution
• Partner with Revenue Operations to ensure accurate reporting, forecasting, and pipeline visibility
• Actively research and pilot AI-enabled GTM motions - including AI-assisted prospecting, signal aggregation, personalization at scale, and conversation intelligence - to continuously improve ADR precision, outreach quality, and team productivity
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Align closely with Sales leadership to establish and maintain clear ADR-to-AE handoff protocols, qualification standards, and SLA adherence - ensuring pipeline quality and minimizing friction at Stage 0-1 handoff
• As a leader embedded within Marketing, work daily with Account Engagement, Product Marketing, and Marketing Operations to align ADR motion with campaign programs, ABM plays, and messaging frameworks
• Partner with Customer Success and Product Marketing to activate cross-sell growth plays targeting existing accounts - coordinating ADR outreach with campaign programs across priority product pairings

Preferred Experience
• Experience in a publicly traded, dual-listed global software or technology company, with familiarity operating in a post-IPO or spin-out growth environment

• Experience leading through transformation or scaling phases
• Background in asset-intensive industries such as EPC, energy, utilities, infrastructure, or industrial operations; familiarity with asset lifecycle management or operational technology software a strong plus
