- Leading monthly OLTs with CXT, bringing together customer insight, commercial data and frontline feedback to align stakeholders around priorities
- Acting as a senior escalation point for significant customer, commercial and internal issues, and turning recurring themes into systemic improvements
- Representing Bullhorn and the SMB business externally, including speaking at industry events and building relationships with customers, partners and industry leaders Operating effectively across multiple geographies, cultures and time zones, adapting your schedule when global teams or customers genuinely need it
This role is a fit for you if
- You have significant experience leading B2B SaaS sales organisations, ideally in an SMB, high-volume or transactional environment

- You have strong commercial and analytical skills, and experience managing significant customer and commercial escalations
- You're an exceptional communicator, confident presenting to executives, customers, sales teams and industry audiences
- You're willing and able to travel internationally and work flexibly across time zones when required A strong understanding of the staffing and recruitment technology market is a plus, though we're just as happy with a demonstrable ability to quickly get up to speed

Global Director Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a global director in Massachusetts?
The path to a global director role in Massachusetts typically begins with a bachelor's degree in international business, management, or a related field, followed by an MBA from one of the state's strong programs such as those at Harvard, MIT Sloan, or Northeastern. There is no state-issued license for this role, but employers in Massachusetts's life sciences and financial sectors consistently require deep international operations experience and a record of leading geographically distributed teams.
How much do global directors make in Massachusetts?
Global directors in Massachusetts earn a median of about $127,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,700 for the lowest 10% to over $314,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire global directors in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring global directors in Massachusetts right now include Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Merck KGaA, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of global pharmaceutical, asset management, and defense technology firms means openings appear regularly across a range of industries beyond just technology.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most global director jobs?
Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham have the most global director openings in Massachusetts. Boston and Cambridge dominate because of their dense concentration of global headquarters, research institutions, and financial firms, while Worcester draws openings from its growing biotech corridor and regional manufacturing operations with international footprints.

Yes, and more than most fields. About 86% of global director openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the desk-based and strategic nature of the role.

The most realistic entry path is through international program management, regional director, or global business analyst roles at established Massachusetts employers such as Raytheon Technologies, State Street, or a mid-size life sciences company. Building experience in international compliance, export operations, or global account management within these firms creates a direct line to a director-level role.
