Serval Sales Manager, Mid-Market at Serval responsible for building and leading the mid-market AE sales team and defining the commercial motion in this segment. Manage team performance, develop sales playbooks, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive revenue growth.

Responsibilities

As the Manager of Mid-Market Account Executives, you'll build and lead our founding mid-market sales team while helping define Serval's commercial motion in this critical segment. You'll be responsible for hiring, coaching, and scaling a team of high-performing AEs who own the full sales cycle for multi-stakeholder IT and Security deals. You'll partner closely with our founders, GTM leadership, product, and engineering teams to shape strategy, build repeatable playbooks, and drive consistent revenue growth.
This role is ideal for a player-coach who has built and led high-performing sales teams at fast-growing SaaS companies, thrives in zero-to-one environments, and wants to play a foundational role in defining a category.
Build, hire, and scale the mid-market AE team from the ground up, defining team structure and hiring profiles.
Coach and develop your team through deal strategy, pipeline reviews, forecast management, and continuous skill development.
Drive team performance and hold accountability for team quota attainment, pipeline generation, and sales velocity metrics.
Maintain a personal book of business and close strategic deals to stay close to customers and model best practices.
Develop and refine the mid-market sales playbook — including outbound motions, qualification frameworks, demo narratives, and closing strategies.
Partner with GTM leadership to define ICP, pricing and packaging, and territory/account assignment for the mid-market segment.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, marketing, and engineering to shape roadmap priorities, messaging, and enablement based on customer and team feedback.
Implement sales process rigor: pipeline hygiene, CRM discipline, accurate forecasting, and deal inspection cadences.
Represent Serval at industry events and strategic customer meetings (travel ≈ 25%)
