Full Job Description
As vCluster's Regional Sales Director, you aren't just managing a territory; you are building the engine of a category-defining company. We have moved past the "early adopter" phase and are now the architectural standard for AI Factories and GPU-heavy enterprises. In this role, you will be the strategic architect of your region, tasked with hiring an elite team, instilling a high-octane hunting mentality, and owning the GTM strategy. You will be leading a team that sells a mission-critical platform to the world's most sophisticated Engineering, DevOps, and AI leaders.

As a Regional Sales Director, your role will include:
  • Strategic Leadership & Recruitment: Recruit, hire, and lead a regional team of Enterprise and Strategic AEs. You are responsible for their professional growth, their quotas, and building a high-performance culture from the ground up.
  • Operationalize "Land & Expand": Direct our land motion and ensure the team is positioned to capitalize on our massive NRR potential within accounts
  • Instill a Hunting Cadence: Drive a relentless focus on pipeline generation. You will set the standard for outbound excellence, ensuring your team is actively penetrating the Fortune 500 and global enterprise markets.
  • Strategic Deal Orchestration: Act as a "player-coach" on the region's largest opportunities.
  • GTM Partnership: Act as the strategic lead for regional field events and demand generation. You won't just attend events; you will help design them to ensure they convert into high-quality pipeline.
  • Methodical Execution: Ensure the region operates with high forecast accuracy and rigor, partnering with your team to navigate complex organizations using frameworks like MEDDPICC or Command of the Message.

This role could be a fit for you if you bring:
  • Experience: 8+ years of experience in sales leadership, specifically within Kubernetes, AI infrastructure, or high-growth cloud platforms.
  • Start-Up Grit: You are a "Series A/B" builder who has successfully scaled sales teams from early stages to predictable, high-growth engines. You are comfortable building the playbook while running at 100mph.
  • Technical Gravity: You are "technically fluent" in the cloud-native ecosystem and can hold your own in a room with a CTO or Lead Platform Architect.
  • Pipeline Mentality: You believe pipeline is the lifeblood of a startup. You have a proven system for encouraging, tracking, and maintaining a relentless "hunting" culture.
  • Executive Presence: Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to operate at the C-level with our most strategic partners and global customers.

Bonus points for:
  • Ecosystem Expertise: Direct experience selling alongside Hyperscalers (AWS/Azure/GCP).
  • Domain Knowledge: A proven track record at category-defining infrastructure companies
  • Local Network: A strong existing "book of business" or a deep network of elite sales talent in your respective region.
  • AI Infrastructure Savvy: Deep understanding of how vCluster integrates in environments to solve skyrocketing GPU costs.

Benefits

We offer the following benefits:
  • Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).
  • Flexible Working Schedule: You have a doctor's appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won't have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.
  • Workplace Flexibility: We're very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we're happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.
