Director of Sales

About Sprig

Sprig is the customer survey platform, rebuilt around AI agents.

For two decades, teams have relied on Qualtrics, Medallia, and SurveyMonkey to understand their customers. These platforms were built for a slower era, with manual setup, fragmented workflows, and insights that arrive too late to shape decisions. The gap between how fast products move and how fast research can keep up has never been wider.

We're building something different. With Sprig, AI agents design studies, adapt surveys in real time, and turn responses into clear, actionable insight. Teams move from question to evidence in hours instead of weeks, without sacrificing rigor. Product teams no longer guess. They know.

Our mission is to make deep customer understanding effortless and always on, so the best teams in the world can build products their customers love.

Companies like Microsoft, DoorDash, Notion, Figma, Coinbase, and TripAdvisor use Sprig to stay close to their users. Backed by $85M from Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, and First Round Capital, we're growing quickly across the world's leading product organizations.

The category is being rebuilt, with AI at the core. If you're excited by hard problems and the chance to define how modern teams understand their customers, we'd love to meet you.

About the Role

Sprig is seeking a dynamic, hands-on Director of Sales to lead and scale our mid-market and BDR sales teams through the next stage of growth. This is a true player-coach role for a sales leader who thrives on developing and leading exceptional talent, while also selling into your own Enterprise accounts. You'll partner directly with Account Executives on strategic opportunities, coach BDRs to build a predictable pipeline, and establish repeatable sales motions that drive sustainable revenue growth.

You’ll report directly to the Head of Revenue and cross-functional leaders across Leadership, Marketing, Customer Success, Product, and Operations, you'll shape our go-to-market strategy, build a high-performing sales culture, and help transform a fast-growing startup into a world-class enterprise sales organization. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who loves building teams, creating process, and selling from the front.
