Employer immigration record

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 4 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role

  • The Manager spends the majority of their time coaching reps on live deals, inspecting pipeline, reviewing calls, and removing obstacles.
  • We expect this leader to actively leverage AI to multiply the output of a small team - automating administrative work, sharpening research and outreach, and giving reps more time in front of customers.
  • Success is measured by team attainment, pipeline health, rep productivity and ramp time, and the development of sellers who advance within OpenGov.

Responsibilities

  • Own the team's monthly and quarterly bookings number, leading and motivating a group of quota-carrying Inside Sales Representatives across new logo acquisition and expansion within existing accounts.
  • Drive consistent outbound prospecting alongside inbound demand, holding the team accountable to activity standards that generate self-sourced pipeline.
  • Build and enforce a disciplined inbound response motion - speed-to-lead standards, qualification criteria, routing, and follow-up cadences - and partner closely with Marketing and Demand Generation on lead quality, conversion rates, and campaign feedback.
  • Run a weekly cadence of pipeline reviews, call reviews, and 1:1s that develop selling skills - discovery, objection handling, multi-threading, and closing - and inspect every opportunity against a defined qualification framework.
  • Deliver accurate weekly forecasts, maintain Salesforce data integrity, and use funnel metrics (conversion, win rate, cycle length, deal size, rep productivity) to diagnose problems and take action.
  • shorten time to first deal and manage performance directly, addressing underperformance early and constructively.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, such as Solution Engineering, Professional Services, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success, to drive revenue growth.
  • Develop the team's command of OpenGov's products, the public sector buying process, and the competitive landscape, collaborating cross-functionally with Solution Engineering, Sales Development, Marketing, Customer Success, and Deal Desk.
  • Recruit, hire, onboard, and ramp new representatives; shorten time to first deal and manage performance directly, addressing underperformance early and constructively.
  • Join a trusted team with the passion, technology, and expertise to drive innovation and bring AI to local government.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in business, marketing, or a related field.
  • Experience owning the full sales cycle from prospecting through close in a high-velocity, high-volume sales environment.
  • Proficiency in Salesforce and modern sales tools (conversation intelligence, sales engagement platforms, reporting dashboards), with an analytical mindset and working knowledge of a formal sales methodology.
  • Ability to travel occasionally (up to 15%) for team meetings, conferences, and customer engagements.
  • 3+ years of direct, quota-carrying individual contributor experience as an Account Executive, Inside Sales Representative, or Customer Success Manager selling SaaS or B2B software, with a demonstrated record of meeting or exceeding quota.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage and convert inbound demand generation - lead qualification, speed-to-lead discipline, routing, and partnership with Marketing - as well as build and manage outbound prospecting motions.
  • Strong coaching instincts, with the ability to develop selling skills through call reviews, deal inspection, and direct feedback.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, including comfort presenting results and forecasts to senior leadership.
  • Demonstrated use of AI tools to improve personal and team productivity, and a genuine curiosity about applying new technology to the craft of selling.
