Job Description

Most businesses never overcome the challenge of developing leaders at scale—and it’s costing them. Poor leadership skills leads to low engagement, high turnover, and missed revenue targets. Without the right system, leadership development becomes a money pit instead of a growth driver.

That’s why companies turn to Wildsparq .

We provide a scalable, online leadership development system to help businesses identify where their leaders need growth, develop teams where it matters, and activate leaders to drive real business results.

With over a decade of experience and 1,000+ organizations transformed, we’ve witnessed how better leaders fuel better business.

This role is ideal for a hands-on sales leader who thrives in startup environments, can move quickly from ideation to execution, and desires to make a big impact. As a core Wildsparq leader, the Director of Sales is expected to carry out Wildsparq’s people-first, family-oriented, and Christian-values culture with excellence, integrity, teamwork, and innovation.
