A bit about Lyra…
Lyra Technology Group is a family of industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.
We made our first acquisition at the beginning of 2018. Today, we hold a controlling stake in 70 companies across the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Our companies employ over 6000 team members, each led by its own management team.
A bit about K&E Consulting…
K&E Consulting is an IT company full of smart, energetic workers that love to help people. We are a company of people that like technology and tinkering with hardware and solving complex problems. We are only as successful as long as our clients are successful. We don’t feel the job is done until the user having a problem is completely satisfied, until we have found the best and most cost-effective way for a company to leverage their technology to their needs, until we have recovered every last document that was accidentally deleted, and then we’ll ask if there’s anything else we can help you out with.
Your work as the VP of Growth includes several components:
• Professionalizing the sales function- Build out structure, sales process, tooling, comp plans, BDR teams, marketing, metrics, and playbooks.
• Player / coach- Leverage your network and sales skills to hunt and close deals as a player. As you succeed in driving sales, start building out a sales team that you will manage.
• Run cross-functional growth campaigns- Your primary objective is driving new logo sales growth. However, we believe sales, account management, marketing, and operations should work together. You will be expected to run cross-functional growth campaigns.
• Business partner to the CEO- The sales leader of the organization should be the CEO’s right-hand person. Formulate overall business strategy and execute.
• Managed Service Provider Sales experience- Previous experience selling in an MSP environment is preferred.
• K&E is based in the greater Twin Cities area- Experience with this market is preferred.
In addition, you will also have an opportunity to work closely with, learn from, and share perspectives with the group of peer sales leaders across our businesses. Your community will include ambitious professionals building world-class sales organizations.
We are looking for smart, motivated leaders who are looking to “roll up their sleeves” and hungry to make an impact by building a sustainable organic growth model. We offer exceptional people the opportunity to meaningfully accelerate their career trajectory.
