Datasite is hiring a full-time Sales Director for their Investment Banking vertical, based on-site in London. This is a traditional quota-carrying sales leadership role owning a defined territory, with emphasis on relationship-building, market development, and closing M&A-related deals via their data-room platform. Not positioned as fractional or interim.

01

Full-time Head of Sales — the balanced verdict

Why this role stands out

  • Established, well-resourced SaaS/fintech employer (1,001–5,000 headcount) with formal training (Sellers University) and mentorship structures.
  • Clear role definition — territory management, 360 sales cycle, relationship-led account ownership in a respected market niche (M&A deal infrastructure).
  • London-based with global reach; appeals to candidates with technology/SaaS or financial services sales pedigree.

Worth checking before you apply

  • No day rate or salary range stated; compensation opaque at application stage.
  • On-site 40-hour commitment required; no flexibility signals for part-time, remote or fractional arrangement.
  • Role emphasises 'quota ownership' and 'territory accountability'—structured for dedicated, full-time coverage, not advisory or interim.
