About the Role

The best sales leaders don't inherit a machine. They build one.

As VP of Commercial Sales, you will own the end-to-end performance of our high-velocity acquisition engine. You will lead managers and Account Executives, and turn market potential into predictable ARR through disciplined process, not heroics. You will report to the CRO and sit at the center of Marketing, RevOps, Partnerships, and Product, shaping how nonprofits discover and adopt our platform.

Key Responsibilities

Own the Commercial revenue strategy, driving new business and expansion against ambitious ARR targets.

Scale an organization of 15+ people, including frontline managers and Account Executives, and build a leadership bench by coaching managers directly.

Build one system for pipeline generation across BDRs, AEs, Partnerships, and Marketing, with shared targets and clear ownership at each stage.

Design repeatable, high-velocity playbooks and territory coverage models that shorten sales cycles and increase market penetration.

Drive forecast accuracy and pipeline health through disciplined CRM practices, a weekly operating cadence, and clear KPI accountability.

Partner with Marketing on ICP targeting and lead-to-opportunity conversion, with Product on roadmap feedback from SMB and Mid-Market customers, and with Customer Success on handoffs and expansion signals.

Lead the adoption of sales technology and RevOps infrastructure that removes manual work and raises rep productivity.

Build an inclusive, high-performance culture that ties professional growth to mission-driven results.

At Fundraise Up, AI is a default tool, not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work, identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function, and grow their fluency as the tools evolve. In this role, that means using AI to measurably improve sales outcomes, and leading your team to do the same.

You'll Thrive Here If You…

Build systems first, then trust the system to scale, instead of relying on individual heroics.

Treat forecasting and pipeline hygiene as non-negotiable, not administrative overhead.

Coach managers to coach their teams, rather than solving every deal yourself.

Move fast on decisions, then adjust based on data instead of waiting for certainty.

Say what you actually think in a room, even when it's the harder thing to say.

Take ownership of outcomes across functions, not just your own team's numbers.

Stay curious about how AI changes the shape of your work, and act on it.

Want your work to fund nonprofits doing real work in the world, not just close deals.
