We provide brands access to more than 13,700 creators in over 160 countries and 900 cities across categories including videographers, directors, editors, animators, drone operators, photographers, and many more.
Today, with over 40,000 videos created for the world’s biggest Brands across multiple sectors - from Amazon to Unilever, Deloitte to Marriott – our vision to create the world’s leading cloud video production platform still remains at the heart of everything we do.
We’re a 10-year-old company at the Series B+/Pre-IPO phase, have been through self-funding, then 6 years of Venture capital partnering with Sequoia Capital, Airtree Ventures, SIG, and others. We’ve had years of high growth, a dip, and recovery and are now growing as a profitable company with good margins, strong balance sheet, and about 40% growth YoY.
Introduction
We are looking for the top sales leader in our 10 years+ global video creation tech organization, reporting to our CEO, where you’ll be a key player in the senior leadership team. The role will be either Head of Sales or VP of Sales depending on experience and/or progression in the role. We’ve had founder lead senior sales leadership for some time, and while that founder is still in a key senior growth role, we are looking for an outstanding and experienced executive to lead with operational excellence and strategic execution.
You will be leading a current team of 14 including account managers, business development managers and some very senior and experienced enterprise leaders & players in certain geographies and market niches. This team will grow in line with sales performance, we operate in a near uncapped market, it’s all about execution. You will lead from the back through data driven management and operational cadence, and lead from the front developing a strong and successful sales team culture and relationships, and using your experience in helping to increase conversion and expansion of larger deals.
Location & Timezone Management
We have a very global customer base including 200 of the world’s largest companies, and the team is geographically strategically located to service these customers from bases in Singapore, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, United States, and Australia. While you likely can only be based in one place along with some limited travel, driving and supporting the team remotely across time zones is essential for success, and in the company’s DNA. If by chance you have more flexibility and are more mobile, you can certainly locate yourself in different time zones at various times throughout the year to maximize closeness and cross-over with various teams, and this is seen as a benefit.
We’re a remote first company by design and our organisational systems reflect this, and are more timezone and locale focused to meet our global customer needs, but also have clusters of people in some key locations like our HQ in Singapore. We’re open to your exact location, but we just put the customer and team collaboration experience first.
Role Support & Collaboration
In terms of supporting and enabling the sales org, you will also be working hand in hand with our dedicated Revenue Operations & Sales Development teams which drive the sales operations & lead generation through Hubspot, ZoomInfo, and an array of other tools in our tech growth stack, of which they are experts. You will also be working in collaboration with a small but nimble marketing team, as well as lighter but transparent collaboration with product and other functions.
