Sales Manager - Merchant Acquisition
Location Details: Tempe, Arizona
At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.
This is an in-office position, and you’ll be expected to work full-time in our Tempe, Arizona location, and therefore must live within commuting distance from your assigned office. You will work from this office beginning on your first day.
This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.
GoDaddy is not currently considering candidates for this role in California, Seattle, or NYC.
Join our team
We are looking for an experienced Manager to lead a high-performing frontline sales team within our Commerce division (merchant acquisition). In this role, you will lead a team of sellers to consistently hit and exceed sales targets while helping customers see value quickly. We're looking for someone who is equally strong at building and coaching talent as they are at managing day-to-day operations and executing against ambitious growth goals.
What you'll get to do...
- Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Sales Operations, and Customer Success to optimize lead flow, merchant activation, and lifetime value — ensuring seamless alignment across the full customer journey.
- Recruit, onboard, and develop top-tier sales supervisors and sellers, building a deep talent pipeline to support a rapidly scaling commerce organization focused on high-velocity merchant acquisition.
- Establish a results-focused culture rooted in accountability, mentor consistency, and urgency — championing customer outcomes and operating with ownership and integrity at every level of the team.
- Define and manage the day-to-day operational rhythm, including pipeline reviews, coaching sessions, calibration meetings, and performance reporting, while maintaining compliance with sales processes, compensation structures, and operational standards.
- Monitor and drive improvement across critical benchmarks — including win rate, speed to first payment, aGPV, GCR contribution, adherence, and call efficiency. Accomplish pivotal initiatives to increase funnel conversion and seller efficiency.
Your experience should include...
- 5+ years of proven high performance and leadership experience at a SaaS, fintech, payments, or merchant services organization.
- Demonstrated success leading inbound or outbound sales teams with strong results in conversion rate, productivity, and customer value creation.
- Strong analytical competence with experience interpreting sales metrics, forecasting, and using CRM data to guide execution.
- Excellent communication, coaching, and people development skills.
- Ability to work on site and lead in person.
You might also have...
- Experience scaling sales teams in a high growth environment.
- Familiarity with payments ecosystems, merchant acquisition flows, and card present/card not present products.
- Experience partnering with Sales Operations on comp, reporting, and process design.
- Background with AI-enabled sales tools or automation platforms.
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, business, economics, or a related field.
