About The Role

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding sales role focused on building and owning the US go-to-market motion for an early-stage AI-powered communications platform. You'll work directly alongside the founding team to win the first US customers, establish a repeatable sales playbook, and lay the groundwork for a growing local team — making this a high-impact, high-ownership opportunity at a critical stage.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Lead the US market launch by building localized landing pages, messaging, and basic demand-generation tracking.
Run the full sales cycle — discovery calls, demos, and closing — to win early customers.
Translate early learnings into a repeatable sales motion and documented GTM playbook.
Identify, pitch, and enable local partner channels and co-selling programs.
Own customer success for initial accounts: onboarding, ongoing support, and structured feedback loops to inform product and positioning.
Collaborate closely with the founding team across marketing and engineering to move quickly and iterate.
Scale the role over 6–12 months into the primary US owner, with the potential to hire and lead a local team.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Native English speaker.
Ex-founder, operator, or someone with strong hands-on experience in sales, business development, partnerships, or growth at a high-growth SaaS startup.
Proven track record building and executing early-stage GTM for the US market, including discovery, demos, and closing deals.
Experience building and activating partner and co-selling channels.
Comfortable owning customer onboarding, support, and feedback capture.
Experience creating demand-generation assets and basic analytics/tracking.
Strong strategic planning skills paired with a bias toward execution and delivery.
Willingness to be based on-site for an initial 3–6 month onboarding period, with flexible arrangement possible afterward.
Familiarity with AI/SaaS solutions and selling to US SMBs is a plus.
Experience with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and sales funnel analytics is a plus.
