Director, Enterprise Sales - Absorb LMS

"Sales organizations tend to have a certain reputation, and this one has charted a refreshingly different path: the bar for performance here is high, but so is the bar for how you clear it. Our people are capable and move with urgency, and they're also kind, generous, and usually three steps into solving a problem before anyone thinks to ask, a combination that is rarer than it should be. The outbound story at Absorb is still being written. This role is a rare chance to hold the pen."
