What's in it for you?

- A people-first leadership mandate — the chance to build, coach, and grow a high-performing sales team.
- Set and execute the North American sales strategy, prioritizing NYC, building out the Texas market, and scoping future West Coast expansion.
- Own commercial performance for the region — deliver annual revenue and margin targets, and maintain strong pipeline coverage.
- Build and lead a high-performing sales team: recruit, onboard, coach, and manage performance.
- Drive CRM discipline and forecasting rigor, running monthly pipeline reviews and delivering reliable, no-surprise forecasts to leadership.
- Represent the business at the executive level with architects, contractors, owners, and at industry events.
- Sit on the North American leadership team, driving process improvement and close collaboration with British stakeholders.

- Strong leadership skills and the ability to influence cross-functional teams.
- Highly customer-focused, with a passion for improving client experience and outcomes.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to engage both customers and internal stakeholders, including international teams.
