Description
Head of International Sales – US Market
Fully Remote | South Africa
R100,000+ per month (highly negotiable depending on what you can bring to the table) | Highly negotiable for exceptional US market experience
A fully remote opportunity to build something big.
Our client is an established, fast-growing Sales-as-a-Service business with a strong presence across Germany and the wider DACH market.
They've built the business, the team and the delivery capability.
Now they're ready to make their mark in the United States.
They're looking for a senior commercial leader who knows the US market, knows how to open doors and, ideally, already has the relationships to start meaningful conversations.
This is a 100% remote role from anywhere in South Africa. No hybrid days. No office requirement. Fully remote.
More importantly, this is an opportunity to come into an established business and have a genuine impact on its next stage of international growth.
Why you'll want this role
- Fully remote from anywhere in South Africa
- Starting salary around R120,000 per month, could be more, depending on what you can bring to the table.
- Significant flexibility for someone bringing an exceptional US network and track record
- Take ownership of an entirely new international growth market
- Build the US sales strategy and revenue pipeline
- Work directly with senior leadership
- Freedom to influence how the market is approached and developed
- Opportunity to build and eventually lead the wider English-speaking sales function
- Join at the point where your contribution can materially change the trajectory of the business
What the company brings
You're not joining an early-stage business trying to figure out whether its model works.
The company already has a successful footprint across the DACH market, an established team and a proven Sales-as-a-Service offering.
You'll have the delivery capability, operational infrastructure and existing business behind you.
What they need is someone who can take that foundation and turn it into US revenue.
What you'll be responsible for
You'll own US new business and market expansion.
That means identifying opportunities, opening doors, building senior-level relationships and converting those conversations into long-term commercial partnerships.
You'll help define the US go-to-market strategy, develop the pipeline and establish the company's presence in the market.
And this isn't purely a leadership position.
You'll need to be someone who still loves the chase.
Someone who can personally originate and close business, while building the foundations for a larger international sales operation around them.
What we're looking for
You have significant senior B2B sales and business development experience, with demonstrable success selling into the United States.
Ideally, your background includes:
- Sales-as-a-Service / sales outsourcing
- SDR or BDR outsourcing
- GTM / go-to-market solutions
- Lead generation
- BPO / outsourced business services
- SaaS or technology services
- International business development
You should be able to talk confidently about the US clients you've personally won, how you opened those relationships, who you sold to and the revenue you generated.
An established network of US founders, CEOs, CROs, VPs of Sales, Heads of Growth and senior commercial decision-makers would be a major advantage.
Experience successfully developing business across the UK and Nordic markets would earn you bonus points.
The person
You're commercially sharp, credible at executive level and comfortable walking into a market where there isn't a ready-made pipeline waiting for you.
You're a builder and a hunter.
You don't need layers of structure around you to make things happen. You see an opportunity, work out how to get through the door and move.
And when you say you have a network, you mean a network you can actually pick up the phone and speak to.
If you've built revenue in the US market and you're ready for the opportunity to build something with real scale behind it, we'd love to talk.
