Fundera, at NerdWallet, is the go-to financial resource for small businesses. We’re here to help entrepreneurs achieve their financial goals and grow businesses as big as their aspirations. As a catalyst for smart financial decisions, our combination of proprietary technology and financial expertise provides business owners with tailored solutions based on their unique needs and eligibility—helping them prosper, create more jobs, and, ultimately, grow the economy.

 Our Head of New Business, SMB will be essential in leading the new customer sales business with a focus on organizational vision, customer facing sales strategy, and execution across initiatives that drive our goals. This includes the development of our leadership bench with multiple layers that support a rapidly growing team of specialized sales professionals. In addition, as a seasoned leader, you'll work strategically cross-functionally with internal partners (e.g. Ops, BD, Recruiting, Training, etc.) to drive improvements, velocity, and deliver results. Working out of our Scottsdale office, with a team size of 30-50 team members, you will report to our US Head of Sales & Operations.

Where you can make an impact:

• Challenge the status quo through intelligent risk taking to drive the business forward

• Excel in executional, people, and thought leadership capacities

• Strong execution through others

• Interface well with supporting functions - including Ops, BD, Recruiting, Training, etc

• Set clear expectations and instill accountability for leadership

• Proactively identify strategic needs of the sales organization and create projects to execute against them

• Be a respected leader while maintaining our strong sales community culture of winning

• Take an active role in identifying and recruiting top talent

• Step outside your comfort zone to take on projects beyond the scope of your day to day responsibilities as needed

Your experience:

We recognize not everyone will meet all of the criteria. If you meet most of the criteria below and you’re excited about the opportunity and willing to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

• 6+ years Sales Director level experience with at least 4+ years managing multiple layers of sales management (frontline/senior managers) 

• Proven ability to build, scale, and optimize business functions and teams 

• Extensive success partnering cross-functionally 

• Comfortable coaching and developing leaders across different experience levels 

• Demonstrated ability to deliver results in a dynamic high volume/high velocity, and sometimes ambiguous paced environment

• An executive presence with a history of building a culture of winning across the sales floor

Where:

• This role will be based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

• We have found that working in-person, alongside peers and more senior members of the team, confers great advantages owing to the spontaneous learning and collaboration opportunities that arise daily on a sales floor and that cannot be easily replicated in a remote environment.

• We also know that people want the flexibility to work remotely, both for personal and professional reasons, so while this is an in-office role, you’ll have the flexibility to work remotely 20% of the month anywhere in the continental US.
