Overview

This is a hands-on, in-the-trenches leadership position responsible for driving all new business and revenue growth for BackgroundChecks.com (formerly ClearChecks). The Head of Revenue will manage a lean team of 2–3 SDRs/BDRs and oversee the full go-to-market motion — from pipeline generation and forecasting to sales execution, customer migrations, and strategic partnerships.

 

The ideal candidate has led SMB and mid-market sales organizations at high-volume SaaS platforms and is motivated by ownership, autonomy, and measurable results. This person will thrive in a compliance-driven environment, comfortable selling regulated solutions under the FCRA framework.

Responsibilities

  • Operate as both coach and player: lead by example while actively building and closing business.
  • Manage and develop a high-performing sales team through training, mentorship, and accountability.
  • Navigate and coordinate multiple stakeholders in fast-paced, high-velocity deal environments.
  • Oversee SMB and mid-market deal cycles, including contract negotiation and multi-stakeholder coordination.
  • Drive predictable new logo and expansion pipeline through outbound, inbound, and partnership channels.
  • Lead sales forecasting, pipeline reviews, and executive-level metric readouts to ensure data-driven accountability.
  • Create and refine sales comp plans, GTM strategies, and process improvements that enhance team productivity and conversion.
  • Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and Operations to align messaging, funnel efficiency, and customer lifecycle performance.
  • Build scalable systems for tracking performance, reporting on wins/losses, and optimizing conversion at each funnel stage.
  • Manage key platform partnerships and integrations with HRIS, ATS, and payroll providers to extend distribution and market reach.
  • Support customer migration initiatives from legacy systems to the unified BackgroundChecks.com platform.
  • Maintain compliance literacy around FCRA and related consumer reporting regulations in sales communications and customer enablement.

Qualifications

Experience:

  • 7–12 years of progressive B2B SaaS experience with direct leadership over SMB/mid-market sales teams.
  • Proven success managing transactional, high-velocity sales motions with consistent revenue growth.
  • Strategic selling experience in environments with longer or distributed decision cycles.
  • Demonstrated ability to coach, inspire, and scale teams that consistently exceed performance goals.
  • Deep familiarity with GTM operations, sales forecasting, CRM management (preferably HubSpot), and KPI-driven reporting.
  • Minimum five years of hands-on account or strategic sales experience in fast-moving B2B software contexts.
  • Experience operating in regulated industries or selling FCRA-compliant, financial, or HR-related technology is highly preferred.

 

Knowledge and Skills:

  • Expert-level understanding of sales tools, analytics platforms, and CRM systems (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.).
  • Strong operational acumen — comfortable designing comp plans, territory models, and performance dashboards.
  • Deep understanding of SMB and mid-market GTM dynamics, including outbound strategy, CAC/LTV modeling, and conversion funnel optimization.
  • Skilled communicator capable of leading executive presentations and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Broad business literacy across finance, marketing, and product strategy to align revenue objectives with company goals.
  • Ability to synthesize performance data into clear, actionable strategic plans.
  • Proven people leadership and mentoring ability with a focus on measurable team development.
  • Technical fluency with SaaS ecosystems and integrations in HR, payroll, or compliance technology environments.
