About the Role

As Head of Sales EMEA & South Asia you will lead a team of Enterprise Account Managers (EAMs) and Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) across the region. Your remit spans retention, expansion, and new business growth across a meaningful regional book of business. This role requires a senior, hands-on leader who can build a high-performance culture, run a rigorous operating cadence (pipeline, forecasting, deal execution), and elevate consultative, value-based selling with complex enterprise customers.

You will partner closely with Customer Success, Marketing, Product, and Revenue Operations in a matrixed environment to drive growth and improve speed-to-value for customers.

What You’ll Do:

Lead a high-performing enterprise sales team

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of EAMs and SDRs to deliver performance across new business, renewals, and expansion

• Establish a strong team culture focused on accountability, customer value, and disciplined execution

• Recruit, onboard, and retain top talent and create clear development paths and performance expectations

Drive revenue growth across the full customer lifecycle

• Own regional outcomes across retention, upsell/cross-sell, and new logo acquisition

• Ensure enterprise account plans are created and executed for priority accounts, aligning Sales and Customer Success around shared outcomes

• Build executive-level relationships with senior stakeholders and orchestrate strategic conversations tied to measurable business value

Build pipeline quality and improve conversion

• Partner with SDR and Marketing teams to generate a pipeline that supports growth targets with the right mix of coverage, quality, and velocity

• Improve conversion through consistent qualification, mutual close plans, and active deal coaching, especially in mid and late-stage opportunities

• Reinforce a “progress or close” approach to pipeline hygiene to improve forecast accuracy

Run a strong operating cadence and forecasting discipline

• Own the regional forecast process and ensure high-quality CRM usage (Salesforce), opportunity inspection, and clear next-step execution

• Provide timely, accurate business updates to leadership on performance, risks, and mitigation plans

• Use data to identify performance gaps (conversion rates, cycle time, pipeline coverage, renewal health) and implement targeted improvements

Be the voice of the customer in the business

• Establish an effective feedback loop to Product and Marketing covering competitive insights, positioning, objections, win/loss themes, and market trends

• Ensure the team can articulate LNIP’s differentiated value in a credible, consultative way, especially where customers demand trust and defensibility in analytics

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

• Predictable operating cadence with improved pipeline quality, stage progression, and forecast accuracy

• Retention performance sustained near target while systematically reducing preventable churn risk

• Stronger enterprise account planning and measurable expansion execution across the book

• Clear improvement in new business generation through tighter SDR/EAM collaboration and better qualification and close management
