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 - Mid-market to lead and scale our sales organization through the next stage of growth. This is a true player-coach role for a sales leader who thrives on winning deals while developing exceptional talent.

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 hybrid role in our HQ SF office: 4 days a week (Wed is WFH).

Your Impact

Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team of Account Executives and Business Development Representatives, creating a culture of accountability, growth, and execution.

Serve as a player-coach by actively participating in strategic customer opportunities, helping advance complex deals, remove blockers, and close mid-market and enterprise business alongside your team.

Partner closely with Business Development Representatives to strengthen outbound strategy, messaging, prospecting discipline, and top-of-funnel pipeline generation.
