This is a foundational leadership role, not a role for someone who wants to inherit an existing machine.
As Partly's first Director / VP of Sales, USA, you will build our US commercial function from the ground up. You will lead a team of three enterprise sales reps and personally carry key deals in the early phase while the team ramps.
You will set the US commercial strategy, define how we show up to enterprise customers, and create the playbook that makes Partly's US revenue engine repeatable and scalable.
This is the most senior commercial role in North America. You will report directly to our CEO and represent the US business to global leadership. If we get this right, this role grows significantly as Partly scales.
If you have built enterprise sales teams in complex, technical markets from early-stage and you are excited by the challenge of doing it again at a company with genuine global momentum, this role is built for you.
