Director of Business Development, OnDeck

Location: Tampa FL preferred (strong preference for South Florida Miami / Fort Lauderdale given proximity to major cruise line headquarters). Regular travel including at least one trip per year to Europe.

Employment Type: Full-time. Conference and client travel expected. Flexible for the right candidate with an established cruise industry book of business.

About OnDeck

OnDeck is the SaaS division of Sourcetoad a productized platform built for the cruise and ferry industry. While Sourcetoads agency side builds custom software across multiple verticals OnDeck is recurring-revenue enterprise SaaS sold directly to cruise and ferry operators including established names like Viking alongside newer entrants like Explora Journeys. Deals run six and seven figures in annual recurring revenue and a single new customer win typically adds $150K$500K in ARR with strong retention.

The Role

Were hiring a senior dedicated new-business hunter to own outbound growth for OnDeck end to end. This is a high-trust high-visibility role reporting directly to the President with real ownership of the number.

What youll own:

• New logo hunting across cruise and ferry operators including outbound prospecting via LinkedIn email phone and your own network

• Partner and channel development including deepening relationships with existing partners like Otalio and identifying new ones

• Running deals from first contact through close including legal and contracting support

• Owning and maintaining the OnDeck HubSpot pipeline

• Representing OnDeck at Seatrade Cruise Global (our anchor event) CLIA and other industry conferences

• Learning the platform well enough to run lighter demos and discovery calls independently within the first few months

• Day-to-day management of our existing SDR including 1:1s activity coaching and development planning (final performance decisions are shared with the President)

What this role does not own: account management or expansion revenue on existing customers. That stays with our Product Leader.

What Were Looking For

• 710 years of enterprise B2B sales experience with meaningful time in the cruise industry

• Strong preference for candidates who have sold technology or software into cruise lines specifically; adjacent maritime or hospitality tech is a plus

• An existing network inside cruise line commercial IT guest experience or operations leadership

• A track record of self-sourced enterprise deals with long (918 month) sales cycles and six-to-seven-figure ARR

• Comfort representing a company on the floor at major industry conferences

• Experience coaching or managing a junior seller is a plus not a requirement

Your First 90 Days

Youll spend your first 30 days learning the platform the market and the team. By 60 days youll have delivered a 12-month go-to-market plan and taken ownership of the pipeline. By 90 days youll be actively in-market: running outbound campaigns meeting prospects and building partner relationships with a clear-eyed understanding that enterprise cruise sales cycles run long so early quarters are about pipeline-building not closed deals.

Why Work at Sourcetoad

This is a rare kind of sales seat. Youre not being handed a territory to maintain youre being handed a market to build. New business for OnDeck has run on the Presidents nights and weekends up to this point which means the pipeline the relationships and the ARR upside are wide open for the person who takes this on. Youll have real autonomy a direct line to leadership and uncapped upside as your book compounds year over year.
