Sales Vertical Director - Retail

We’re hiring a Director of Retail to own and build this vertical. The short version: you’ll carry a bag, you’ll build a team, and you’ll help define how Windfall goes to market across luxury retail, e-commerce, consumer brands, and adjacent retail segments. This is a player/coach role - intentionally so. You’ll personally lead outreach and engagement across our top 50–100 Retail accounts while simultaneously hiring, developing, and managing the AEs who will eventually scale this into a standalone business. Windfall’s wealth data unlocks high-impact use cases for retailers - identifying HNW customers, personalizing outreach, powering loyalty programs, and driving clienteling at scale. You’ll help retailers understand why that matters and build the motion to close it. You’ll work directly with our co-founders, product, and marketing to shape Windfall’s Retail strategy - what we build, how we position it, and who we prioritize. If you want a job where you just manage, this isn’t it. We’re on a mission to change how organizations perceive and use people data. And we hold true to our core values of: (1) Be an excellent communicator; (2) Operate with transparency; (3) Provide leverage, not optimization; (4) Win When Our Customers Win; and (5) Act with integrity and trust.
