Start-up Director of Sales

Are you a natural hunter who loves winning new business, building relationships and turning opportunities into revenue? Do you want to be part of a business connecting brands with the next generation of consumers?

We're looking for an ambitious Start-up Director of Sales to drive new business growth in the US market, helping brands connect with a highly engaged Gen-Z audience through innovative digital solutions.

This is a great opportunity for a commercially minded sales professional who enjoys building something from the ground up, taking ownership of the full sales cycle and making a real impact. You'll have the freedom to identify new opportunities, build your own pipeline and turn prospects into valuable commercial partnerships.

What you'll be doing

  • Identify, target and win new business across the US market.
  • Build your own pipeline through proactive outreach, networking and strategic prospecting.
  • Own the full sales cycle, from identifying opportunities and pitching solutions to negotiating and closing deals.
  • Build relationships with senior decision-makers and key stakeholders.
  • Consistently work towards ambitious revenue targets and drive new logo acquisition.
  • Identify opportunities for brands to engage with Gen-Z consumers through digital marketing, media and student-focused platforms.
  • Work closely with internal teams to ensure a smooth handover once deals are closed.
  • Contribute to the sales strategy and help drive the company's continued growth.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience in B2B sales, business development or new business acquisition.
  • A strong track record of hitting or exceeding sales targets.
  • A genuine hunter mentality, with experience generating your own leads and winning new clients.
  • Confidence engaging senior decision-makers, presenting commercial solutions and negotiating deals.
  • A self-motivated, commercially driven individual who thrives on autonomy and accountability.
  • Someone ambitious, energetic and motivated by results, growth and earning potential.

Experience in SaaS, technology, fintech, martech, e-commerce, digital media, advertising or marketing solutions would be particularly relevant. Experience selling to brands or helping businesses reach younger audiences is a bonus, but not essential.

What's in it for you?

  • The opportunity to make a real impact in a growing technology business.
  • Uncapped commission and strong earning potential.
  • The freedom to own your pipeline, strategy and results.
  • The chance to work with exciting brands and help them connect with the next generation of consumers.
  • A fast-paced environment where ambition, initiative and commercial success are recognised.
