  • Partner with the GTM Enablement and leadership teams to align sales strategies across brands

  • Support sales hiring, capability mapping, and upskilling across the portfolio

  • Provide clear visibility of performance, activity, and pipeline to the GTM Lead and senior stakeholders

  • Champion a unified, customer-centric approach to new business acquisition across all sales touchpoints

 

What we’re looking for

 

  • A strong track record of leading new business sales teams within SaaS, payments, or EPOS

  • Experience coaching and developing SDRs and sales talent to deliver measurable revenue growth

  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, matrixed environments – ideally with multi-brand exposure

  • A leader who can both build strategy and drive day-to-day execution

  • Passion for process, consistency, and professionalising sales culture

  • Strong communicator, capable of influencing and aligning diverse stakeholders
