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.

As the Head of New Business, you will be responsible for leading and driving the growth of our SMB lending new customer products. You will monitor month over month and quarter over quarter performance, analyzing market trends and pipeline flow to make strategic recommendations for ways to increase lead conversion, deal closure, and ultimately drive the business forward. You will coach and mentor a team of frontline managers as they navigate the day-to-day challenges of operating in a fast-paced and goal-driven sales environment. You will keep a close pulse on the business, proactively recommend sales contests and rewards to increase sales volume, and to drive employee retention.

Where You Can Make an Impact:

• Develop and execute a scalable sales strategy aligned with our growth objectives

• Manage a predictable and date driven sales process, ensuring adoption, efficiency, and high conversion rates

• Recruit, develop, and mentor a high performing sales organization, fostering a culture of accountability, learning, and winning

• Work collaboratively across teams to enhance demand generation, and product and sales performance

• Create incentive structures that motivate the team to drive outsized performance and retain them

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

• Set clear expectations and instill accountability for leadership.

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

• Stay ahead of industry trends and competitor strategies to inform sales decisoning

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

Your Experience:

• 8+ years sales management level experience with at least 4+ years of sales leadership experience managing sales managers

• Proven track record of building and scaling business functions and teams

• Strong knowledge of transactional sales cycles

• Extensive success partnering cross-functionally

• Comfortable coaching and developing leaders across different experience levels

• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills

• An ability to manage up and across in a concise, data driven way

• 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 understand the importance of flexibility to work remotely, both for personal and professional reasons. While this is an in-office role, as long as you are meeting our minimum performance standards, you’ll have the option to work remotely 20% of the month from anywhere in the continental US starting after you complete training, typically between months 4-6.
