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 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 a onboarding 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
