Impact of a Director, Sales

As our Director, Sales for Dispatch at Upsun, you play a key role in driving new customer growth and building the founding go-to-market team of our groundbreaking new product, Upsun Dispatch. Dispatch is a standalone platform where AI agents and human developers work together in structured workflows, bringing trust, control, and guardrails to the new AI-driven software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will help organizations discover the value of Dispatch by identifying early adopters, validating the product in the market, building trusted relationships, and guiding prospects from initial interest through long-term partnership- while building and leading the team that will scale this motion.

Reporting to the CRO, you own the full go-to-market motion for Dispatch: personally driving the sales cycle in year one, from prospecting and qualification to closing and account expansion, while simultaneously leading a team of 4 to scale the motion as the product validates in market. Because this is a new product introduction, market validation is a core component of this role, and you will be hands-on in the field alongside your team, not just directing from above. You will collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to share market feedback, while also working alongside Marketing and Customer Success to deliver a seamless buyer experience. 

What to expect

• Team Leadership & Development: Lead and coach a team of 4 as Dispatch scales, while remaining personally hands-on in deals, prospecting, and demos in year one to prove the model firsthand.

• Territory & Account Strategy: Design and own a tailored plan to achieve corporate objectives within new and existing client accounts, focusing on engineering teams grappling with AI code volume and SDLC bottlenecks.

• End-to-End …
