Enterprise District Manager - Dallas

We’re looking for a District Sales Manager to lead our Enterprise Client Executive team in Dallas, a leader who knows how to compete, grow market share, and build a culture where people genuinely want to win together. This is not a “maintain the business” leadership role. You’ll lead a team responsible for driving strategic outcomes across enterprise customers throughout the region. Success in this role means building a high-performing culture where people take ownership, challenge themselves, support one another, and stay focused on solving customer problems. We’re looking for someone who still believes in picking up the phone, building relationships, leveraging the channel, and creating momentum. Someone competitive. Someone resilient. Someone who leads by example.

Come here to build something. Come here to have fun doing it. Come here to win.
