This hub will play a crucial role in accelerating our SME sales efforts worldwide. We are seeking dynamic sales leaders to build and scale a world-class sales team that delivers impactful results.
About the Role
As Director, Global Sales, you will be responsible for establishing and scaling a high-performing global sales hub.
