Manager, Account Directors

About The Role

Engine is adding a Manager, Account Directors to our Sales Org. In this role, you'll lead a team of quota-carrying, executive-facing Account Directors responsible for driving expansion revenue across our customer base. Our ADs are the closers — they find the expansion opportunity, build the commercial case, multithread into VP+ stakeholders, and close. As a leader, you'll set the standard for pipeline discipline, exec access, and deal execution, while coaching your team to consistently hit quota and build the kind of exec relationships that make Engine the first call on strategic decisions. You'll also play a key customer-facing role in your team's highest-value opportunities.

Your Mission

As part of the Engine team, you’ll play a vital role in an environment where innovation meets collaboration. Here’s what you’ll take charge of:

• Hire, coach, and develop a team of quota-carrying Account Directors who close expansion revenue in a land & expand model
• Own team quota attainment and forecast accuracy — leadership should be able to trust your number every single week
• Enforce the pipeline discipline that separates the ADs who hit from the ones who don't: no deal without a next step, and any account 6+ months in the book has an active opportunity or the AD hasn't done the discovery yet
• Coach ADs on real discovery, multithreading, exec QBRs, and building buying coalitions that sell Engine internally without the AD in the room
• Personally engage as an executive sponsor on your team's highest-value expansion opportunities and strategic accounts
• Partner with AM leadership and Sales Ops to make the pod work — signal quality from AMs, feedback loops, and pod NRR are shared outcomes
• Leverage data to inspect pipeline health, win rates, deal size, and rep-level performance; intervene early and specifically
• Serve as a thought leader, customer advocate, and coach to your team and to the executives they sell into
• Build a culture of preparation, ruthless pipeline honesty, and relentless deal advancement
• Collaborate cross-functionally with AM, SA, Sales Ops, Marketing, Product, and Finance to remove friction from expansion motions and align on account strategy
