About the Role
As a Manager, SMB Account Management, you’ll have the opportunity to work with Motive’s largest volume of customers, who collectively represent the majority of Motive’s revenue stream. Our technology solutions create efficiencies and drive revenue growth for businesses in the physical economy—trucking, freight & logistics, construction, oil and gas, local delivery/services, and more.
We’re looking for a seasoned sales leader who is driven, an exceptional communicator, and a strong people manager. In this role, you will scale and manage a global team of SMB Account Managers, guiding them to achieve monthly and quarterly revenue targets by selling Motive’s products and services into existing SMB customer accounts. While this role is primarily remote, you’ll oversee day-to-day operations of the SMB Account Management team and should be willing and able to travel occasionally to one of our Pakistan offices (Islamabad or Lahore).
What You’ll Do
- Lead and exceed bookings and revenue targets through a team of SMB Account Executives who focus on growing existing customer accounts.
- Define inbound/outbound appointment and pipeline targets, ensuring consistent execution, accountability, and performance metrics (KPIs).
- Drive consistent execution of Motive’s sales playbook, collaborating with sales operations to align CRM processes, training, and coaching programs.
- Coach and measure the team’s effectiveness in prospecting, qualifying, selling, and closing upsell or cross-sell opportunities with SMB customers to achieve quota.
- Oversee disciplined pipeline planning, ensuring accurate forecasts and clear deal status for leadership visibility.
- Leverage Motive’s portfolio (VG, Dashcam, Motive Card, new products) in every sales pursuit, emphasizing best practices in negotiation and value-based selling.
- Regularly review calls and coach Account Executives to continuously improve their sales capabilities, focusing on shorter sales cycles typical in SMB segments.
- Track, audit, and forecast business performance to leadership, highlighting trends, risks, and opportunities.
- Step in to support demos and negotiate larger or more complex deals as needed.
What We’re Looking For
- 4+ years in international sales (US market preferred).
- 2+ years in sales leadership (plus), ideally within a technology or product-driven company.
- Proven B2B sales track record with short sales cycles in a fast-paced, highly competitive market.
- Outstanding contractual and negotiation skills.
- Demonstrated ability to enforce pipeline management best practices.
- A self-starter mindset—comfortable taking on ambiguous projects and leveraging resources to drive them to completion.
Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of Motive's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
