We're looking for future leaders of our US business, where high expectations and high rewards go hand in hand. As an early member of the US sales team, you'll help shape how we sell, who we sell to, and what the US org looks like as we scale.

Responsibilities

Day to day, you will:
  • Drive revenue growth within mid-enterprise segments in your frontline sectors (Hospitality or Retail).
  • Own the full sales cycle from strategic prospecting to closing, ensuring accurate forecasting and pipeline management.
  • Build deep relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders in target accounts, positioning Sona as a must-have solution.
  • Be the face of Sona at industry events and conferences across the US, driving pipeline activity and elevating our brand.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Customer, and Product teams to refine campaigns, enhance onboarding, and provide market insights that shape our product roadmap.

  • You thrive in a startup: comfortable with ambiguity, adaptable to change, and excited to build something great from the ground up.
