Sales Manager, SMB NewCo @ Klaviyo!
Klaviyo is the first B2C marketing automation platform built specifically for eCommerce — and trusted by over 169,000 brands to help them own their growth. Our platform empowers businesses to turn customer data into meaningful digital relationships through email, SMS Text, and other channels.
We’re growing fast and looking for curious, collaborative, and results-driven people to join us on the journey. If you're excited about making an impact, we’d love to meet you.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Sales Manager (SMB) to lead a high-performing team of SMB Account Executives. This team is passionate about helping small and mid-sized ecommerce businesses grow — and you’ll help guide and elevate that impact every day.
You’ll coach, develop, and inspire your team to exceed revenue goals while building a culture grounded in curiosity, transparency, and accountability. You’ll also play a key role in scaling Klaviyo’s presence in the SMB market — where every customer interaction truly matters.
If you're a people-first leader who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments — and loves to build and iterate — this could be a great fit.
What You’ll Do
-
Hire, onboard, and support a team of SMB Account Executives to meet and exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets.
-
Work closely with Sales Enablement to coach your team on pipeline management, deal strategy, and product storytelling.
-
Use data to guide your decisions — spotting trends, addressing challenges, and helping your team level up.
-
Partner with Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success to create a seamless journey from first touch to renewal.
-
Be a culture ambassador — lead with empathy, grit, and Klaviyo’s values every day.
-
Host regular 1:1s and give clear, actionable feedback to help your reps grow in their careers.
Who You Are
-
You have 3–4 years of experience managing SMB or commercial sales teams in a SaaS environment — ideally with a product-led growth (PLG) motion.
-
You're a coach at heart — you love helping people grow and thrive, and have a track record of building high-performing teams.
-
You’re analytical and operationally strong — you know how to forecast and identify ways to improve performance.
-
You’re adaptable and open to change — you see ambiguity as a chance to create clarity and move things forward.
-
You’re curious and customer-obsessed — you think like a product or marketing leader, not just a sales one.
-
You lead with empathy and hold high standards — your team looks up to how you show up, not just what you’ve done.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
-
We believe in trust, autonomy, and clear accountability — no micromanaging here.
-
You’ll collaborate with passionate, smart, and driven teammates who genuinely care.
-
We’re committed to your growth — with training, mentorship, and tools to help you succeed.
-
You’ll work on a product customers truly love — and are excited to talk about.
-
We don’t just talk about values — we live them. This is a people-first culture where your voice matters.
