About Avoca

Avoca is transforming how home service companies engage with their customers. Our AI-powered conversational agents handle every high-value inbound call, from booking jobs, qualifying leads, and driving higher revenue, all at a speed and consistency unmatched by human call centers.

We're a Series B startup backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, General Catalyst, and other top-tier investors, with $125M raised and a $1B valuation. We grew 10x in 2025 and have scaled to 170+ employees in under two years across our NYC headquarters and Santa Barbara office.

In a $1T+ market where 85% of missed calls go to competitors, we're building the category-defining platform for AI-driven customer engagement, serving the largest brands in home services. With high-energy, in-office teams in both locations, every hire here has an immediate and visible impact.

About the Role

As Director of Mid-Market Sales, you will lead and elevate our mid-market sales organization, driving performance, consistency, and execution excellence across the segment.

This is a leadership role focused on developing talent, sharpening sales rigor, and building a repeatable, high-performing motion. You’ll coach a team of already-performing Account Executives to win complex deals, deepen discovery, improve close rates, and consistently exceed targets.

This role is ideal for a sales leader who thrives in high-accountability environments, loves developing talent, and knows how to build discipline and performance into a scaling mid-market team.

What You’ll Do

  • Own mid-market revenue performance, ensuring the team consistently hits and exceeds monthly and quarterly targets.
  • Coach and develop Account Executives to improve discovery, objection handling, deal strategy, and closing effectiveness.
  • Elevate call quality through regular deal reviews, call coaching, and structured feedback loops.
  • Improve pipeline hygiene, forecasting accuracy, and overall sales execution rigor.
  • Identify skill gaps and implement targeted enablement programs to raise performance across the team.
  • Refine messaging, positioning, and demo execution to increase conversion rates and ACV.
  • Lead by example in strategic deals, modeling best-in-class mid-market selling behavior.
  • Establish clear performance standards and accountability across the team.

What You’ll Bring

  • 6+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, with 2+ years leading mid-market or enterprise AEs.
  • Strong track record of improving rep performance through hands-on coaching.
  • Experience scaling and optimizing mid-market sales motions.
  • Proven ability to drive forecast accuracy and operational rigor.
  • Deep expertise in discovery-led, consultative sales.
  • Ability to diagnose pipeline issues and implement corrective action quickly.
  • Clear, confident communicator who can raise the bar on performance standards.
  • High ownership mentality and comfort operating in fast-moving, in-office environments.

Who You Are

  • Coach first, manager second: you measure your success by how much better your reps get.
  • Obsessed with deal quality, not just deal volume.
  • Direct and high-accountability: you don't shy away from tough performance conversations.
  • Energized by mid-market complexity: real selling skill, fast cycle times, operational discipline.
  • In the weeds on calls, pipeline, and deal strategy, not managing from a dashboard.
  • Builder mentality: you want to create something, not maintain it.
  • High ownership, low ego: you do whatever it takes to make the team win.
  • In-office, engaged, and eager to lead from the front at our NYC location full-time.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company-sponsored 401(k) through Vestwell
  • Flexible PTO plus U.S. federal holidays
  • Company-wide off-sites
  • Monthly wellness stipend
  • Daily in-office lunch through Parkday
  • Dinner covered when working late
  • Commuter benefits and late-night rideshare
  • Standing desks and workspace accommodations available on request
  • All core tools and software provided

Compensation: The expected on target earnings for this role is $350,000-$400,000 with final compensation based on experience, skills, and qualifications determined during the interview process. Avoca’s total compensation package includes base salary, bonus, equity, and a comprehensive suite of benefits and perks. Our Recruiting team will share the full details as you progress through our hiring process.

Why Avoca
