We're Looking for a Closer Who Can Shape It.

Level

Agency is hiring a Vice President of Sales to lead complex pursuits, win high-value accounts, and build the sales systems that fuel our next stage of growth. This is not a role for someone who needs a C-level executive to step in when the deal gets complicated. This is for a proven seller who can earn trust with senior decision-makers, lead a six- or seven-figure opportunity from first conversation through signed agreement, and coordinate the internal team required to win.

You'll take ownership of Level's most strategic opportunities, including executive referrals, high-potential prospects, RFPs, and "house accounts" that have traditionally gone directly to senior leadership. You'll also oversee our inbound and SDR functions and shape our outbound strategy in partnership with the CRO. You'll sell sophisticated, customized marketing services to organizations with complex goals, multiple stakeholders, and high expectations.

That means understanding the client's business, asking better questions, assembling the right solution, navigating procurement and internal politics, and creating enough confidence for the buyer to move forward. Success in this role means Level is consistently winning the right clients, our pipeline is healthy and credible, our sales team is operating with focus, and executives no longer need to quarterback every major opportunity. This role reports directly to the Chief Revenue Officer.

This Isn't for Everyone. We're building something rare: a place where growth, truth, and high performance go hand-in-hand. You'll thrive here if: ✅ You have personally closed six- and seven-figure B2B services engagements. ✅ You know how to sell complex, customized solutions—not just software licenses or standardized packages. ✅ You understand how buyers in industries such as B2B, education, healthcare, financial services, ecommerce, and other considered-purchase categories make decisions. ✅ You can build credibility with executives, uncover the real business problem, and connect Level's capabilities to outcomes that matter. ✅ You are comfortable owning the entire sales process, including qualification, discovery, solution development, proposals, negotiation, procurement, and close. ✅ You can lead internal teams through influence, create clarity, and keep a pursuit moving without formal authority over every contributor. ✅ You know how to balance hands-on selling with sales leadership, pipeline strategy, forecasting, coaching, and process improvement. ✅ You use data, technology, and AI to improve how you research accounts, prepare for meetings, develop solutions, and move opportunities forward.

And you'll struggle here if: ❌ Your largest wins depended on an executive stepping in to lead the strategy, pitch, or negotiation. ❌ Your experience is limited to transactional sales, short sales cycles, or highly standardized products. ❌ You confuse a large pipeline with a strong pipeline. ❌ You avoid difficult qualification decisions or keep weak opportunities alive to protect your forecast. ❌ You rely on charisma without disciplined discovery, preparation, follow-through, and commercial judgment. ❌ You need direct authority to align people and move work forward. ❌ You are more interested in managing sellers than personally winning business. ❌ You treat AI as a novelty rather than a practical tool for improving sales performance.

Vice-président·e, Ventes Télétravail - États-Unis et Canada seulement | Temps plein Rémunération : Rémunération cible totale de 125 000 $ à 175 000 $ US (salaire + commissions) Nous ne cherchons pas une personne pour gérer le pipeline.

Nous cherchons une personne capable de le façonner et de conclure.

Level

Agency est à la recherche d'un·e vice-président·e, Ventes pour diriger des démarches commerciales complexes, gagner des comptes à forte valeur et bâtir les systèmes de vente qui alimenteront notre prochaine phase de croissance. Ce poste ne s'adresse pas à une personne qui a besoin qu'un membre de la haute direction intervienne lorsque l'entente devient complexe. Nous cherchons une personne ayant fait ses preuves, capable de gagner la confiance de décideurs et décideuses de haut niveau, de mener une occasion à six ou sept chiffres de la première conversation jusqu'à la signature et de coordonner l'équipe interne nécessaire pour gagner.

Vous prendrez en charge les occasions les plus stratégiques de Level, notamment les recommandations provenant de la direction, les prospects à fort potentiel, les appels d'offres et les « comptes maison » qui étaient traditionnellement gérés directement par les membres de la haute direction. Vous superviserez également nos fonctions de ventes entrantes et de développement des ventes et contribuerez à définir notre stratégie de prospection en collaboration avec le chef de la direction des revenus. Vous vendrez des services marketing sophistiqués et personnalisés à des organisations ayant des objectifs complexes, plusieurs parties prenantes et des attentes élevées.

Vous devrez donc comprendre les activités du client, poser de meilleures questions, assembler la bonne solution, naviguer dans les processus d'approvisionnement et les dynamiques internes, puis créer suffisamment de confiance pour permettre à l'acheteur d'aller de l'avant. La réussite dans ce rôle signifie que Level gagne constamment les bons clients, que notre pipeline est sain et crédible, que notre équipe de vente travaille avec rigueur et que les membres de la direction n'ont plus à diriger chaque occasion importante. Ce poste relève directement du chef de la direction des revenus.

Ce rôle ne convient pas à tout le monde.

Nous bâtissons quelque chose de rare : un milieu où la croissance, la vérité et la haute performance vont de pair.

Vous vous épanouirez ici si : ✅ Vous avez personnellement conclu des mandats de services B2B à six et sept chiffres. ✅ Vous savez vendre des solutions complexes et personnalisées, et non seulement des licences logicielles ou des forfaits standardisés. ✅ Vous comprenez comment les acheteurs de secteurs comme le B2B, l'éducation, la santé, les services financiers, le commerce électronique et d'autres catégories à processus d'achat réfléchi prennent leurs décisions. ✅ Vous pouvez établir votre crédibilité auprès de cadres, découvrir le véritable problème d'affaires et relier les capacités de Level aux résultats qui comptent. ✅ Vous êtes à l'aise de prendre en charge l'ensemble du processus de vente, notamment la qualification, la découverte, la conception de solutions, les propositions, la négociation, l'approvisionnement et la conclusion. ✅ Vous pouvez diriger des équipes internes par influence, créer de la clarté et maintenir l'élan d'une démarche sans détenir d'autorité formelle sur chaque personne contributrice. ✅ Vous savez combiner la vente active avec le leadership commercial, la stratégie de pipeline, les prévisions, l'accompagnement et l'amélioration des processus. ✅ Vous utilisez les données, la technologie et l'IA pour améliorer vos recherches sur les comptes, votre préparation aux rencontres, la conception de solutions et la progression des occasions.

Et vous aurez de la difficulté ici si : ❌ Vos plus grandes réussites dépendaient d'un membre de la direction pour mener la stratégie, la présentation ou la négociation. ❌ Votre expérience se limite aux ventes transactionnelles, aux cycles de vente courts ou aux produits hautement standardisés. ❌ Vous confondez un pipeline volumineux avec un pipeline solide. ❌ Vous évitez les décisions de qualification difficiles ou maintenez des occasions faibles pour protéger vos prévisions. ❌ Vous comptez sur votre charisme sans faire preuve de rigueur dans la découverte, la préparation, le suivi et le jugement commercial. ❌ Vous avez besoin d'une autorité directe pour aligner les personnes et faire avancer le travail. ❌ Vous vous intéressez davantage à la gestion de vendeurs qu'à la conquête personnelle de nouveaux mandats. ❌ Vous considérez l'IA comme une nouveauté plutôt que comme un outil pratique pour améliorer la performance commerciale. À propos de Level Nous sommes une agence de marketing de performance propulsée par l'IA, conçue pour la précision et la croissance, et guidée par une approche scientifique. Chez Level, nous combinons la stratégie, les médias, la création et l'intelligence machine afin de produire des résultats qui comptent. Chaque fois. À grande échelle.

Nous avons été nommés parmi les meilleurs milieux de travail de Pittsburgh et parmi les entreprises à la croissance la plus rapide du classement Inc. 500. Nos clients œuvrent notamment dans les secteurs B2B, de l'éducation, de la santé, des services financiers et du commerce électronique.

Votre rôle et votre impact À titre de vice-président·e, Ventes, vous prendrez en charge les occasions de revenus les plus stratégiques et complexes de Level tout en contribuant à diriger les systèmes, les personnes et les processus qui soutiennent l'ensemble de notre fonction commerciale. Vous serez le principal point de contact pour les démarches à fort enjeu et dirigerez l'ensemble du processus de vente, de la qualification jusqu'à la négociation et à la conclusion. Vous superviserez également les fonctions de ventes entrantes et sortantes, gérerez la personne responsable des ventes entrantes et les ressources de développement des ventes, puis collaborerez avec le chef de la direction des revenus afin d'élaborer une stratégie de prospection moderne et à fort impact.
