Your role:

You own the US market on the sales side. You'll build and lead a high-performing AE & SDR team from the ground up - hiring, ramping, coaching and holding the bar on day-to-day execution.

You stay close to the front line: running deals yourself when it matters, jumping into demos and discovery calls, and setting the standard for how we sell in Poland.

You own the US sales number - monthly and yearly targets - and you're accountable for a reliable forecast. You work hand in hand with Marketing on lead-gen for the US market and with Customer Success on clean handoffs.

You translate what works in DACH into the US context, feed learnings back to the leadership team, and shape how the whole US sales motion scales.

What's waiting for you:

  • Market ownership: Full responsibility for fonio's sales performance in US.

  • Team building: Hire, ramp and coach the AE & SDR team as we scale.

  • Player-coach: Lead from the front - stay in deals and demos, not just dashboards.

  • Quota ownership: Clear monthly and yearly targets for the US market - you´re setting it up for the team.

  • Cross-functional impact: Close collaboration with Marketing, Customer Success and the founders.

  • Build, don't maintain: Shape the US sales motion in a fast-scaling startup.

What we offer:

  • $350k - $400k OTE (base + uncapped commission; depending on experience)

  • On-site in New York (with aonboarding on-site in Vienna to start)

  • Top equipment of your choice and extremely short decision paths

  • Direct line to the founders and real ownership over an entire market

What you bring:

  • Several years of B2B SaaS sales experience, with a track record of closing along a clear funnel

  • First leadership or team-lead experience

  • Strong product and technology understanding

  • English at native/C2 level; German is a strong plus

  • Startup mindset - builder mentality
