The Senior Manager, Sales is a dual-role leadership position within Diligent’s specialist sales team. This player/coach will be responsible both for developing and executing our go-to-market (GTM) strategy in the high-potential Ethics & Compliance Business Unit and acting as a hands-on sales expert who leads by example. The individual will directly close business within the E&C domain while enabling, coaching, and scaling a growing team of specialists.
We are looking for a proactive self-starter with a proven track record in the compliance, GRC, or SaaS domains—someone who can architect and drive sales plays, build team GTM maturity from the ground up, and act as a subject matter voice both internally and externally.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and refine a market strategy for Ethics & Compliance, leveraging insight into product-market fit, emerging trends, and regulatory drivers in the space.
- Identify key market opportunities and design scalable sales plays.
- Coordinate with Product, Marketing, and Enablement teams to ensure assets, messaging, and campaigns align with market needs.
- Directly manage a subset of high-value opportunities and strategic accounts within the Ethics & Compliance portfolio.
- Serve as a coach and mentor to specialist colleagues, supporting ongoing enablement, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement of E&C sales plays.
- Oversee day-to-day sales process execution and act as SME speaker at internal and external events.
- Represent Diligent as a subject matter expert in compliance and ethics through industry forums, customer events, and webinars.
- Maintain awareness of trends across anti-bribery, third-party risk, policy management, and related compliance topics.
- Partner with all GTM functions—including Sales, Marketing, Product, Customer Success—to drive cohesive execution in the Ethics & Compliance segment.
- Proven success in compliance, ethics, GRC, or SaaS solution selling, ideally with experience in a specialist or player/coach capacity.
- Demonstrated ability to build and implement impactful GTM strategies, especially in new or maturing business units.
- Strong track record of direct sales results in the compliance domain, exceeding quotas and opening new markets.
- Experience coaching and enabling peers or teams towards consistent, scalable sales execution.
- Deep familiarity with the corporate compliance landscape, including key buyer personas (e.g., Chief Compliance Officer, General Counsel) and regulatory challenges.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
- Self-starting, entrepreneurial mindset willing to roll up sleeves and drive tangible outcomes.
- Strategic and analytical, able to assess market maturity, identify opportunities, and operationalise sales motions.
- Proactive in exploring digital tools and willing to upskill in AI-powered systems.
- Collaborate on team initiatives that involve experimenting with new technology, including AI.
- Creativity is ingrained in our culture. We are innovative collaborators by nature. We thrive in exploring how things can be differently both in our internal processes and to help our clients
- We care about our people. Diligent offers a flexible work environment, global days of service, comprehensive health benefits, meeting free days, generous time off policy and wellness programs to name a few
- We have teams all over the world. We may be headquartered in New York City, but we have office hubs in Washington D.C., Vancouver, London, Galway, Budapest, Munich, Bengaluru, Singapore, and Sydney.
- Diversity is important to us. Growing, maintaining and promoting a diverse team is a top priority for us.
