Strategic Sales Director - Midwest/Southeast at five9

This role is designed for a heavyweight Enterprise Sales professional with deep roots in the contact center industry. Since the company requires at least 10 years of experience specifically selling or operating in the contact/engagement center space, this is not a generalist role. You’ll be expected to act as a "Trusted Advisor," managing the full sales cycle from lead generation to post-sale implementation for strategic, named accounts. The compensation package is highly competitive, with a wide salary range up to $321,100 plus potential bonuses and stock options. The company offers exceptional benefits, including 100% employer-paid healthcare for the employee and a remote-first work model (unless you live near the San Ramon HQ). As a market leader in cloud contact center software (CCaaS), the role offers significant stability and growth potential within a high-upside tech sector. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 10+ years of experience selling enterprise software specifically within the contact center domain. * Are a proven "hunter" who can self-generate leads through a deep personal network and cold outreach. * Feel comfortable navigating complex sales cycles and presenting business cases to C-level executives. * Live in the Midwest or Southeast and prefer a fully remote, travel-heavy sales environment.
