Founding Sales Director | Global AI-Powered Tech Startup

Are you a high-performing sales leader ready to take full ownership of revenue growth in a fast-scaling global tech startup? Do you want to be part of a founding team, build something from the ground up, and lead sales for a real AI-powered product?

Founding Director – Sales

This is not a typical sales job. It’s a founding role that combines strategic thinking, individual contribution, and high-ownership execution. You’ll work directly with the founding team, take full charge of growth in a region or segment, and scale a predictable, high-quality revenue engine.
