Role Description
Qutwo's commercial organization is built to scale: one global sales team, offering leads who sell their own propositions, and a Commercial Ops function behind them. That organization needs one owner for the sales engine itself: the global weekly cadence, the business development executives, and the speed at which proposals move from first meeting to signature. Without that owner, the cadence slips, proposals stall, and growth is capped by the attention of individual leaders.
The VP, Sales is the most senior business development executive in the team. A player-coach who carries own deals, runs the weekly cadence across all markets, and leads the sales team day to day.
The role owns
Their own portfolio of enterprise deals, with a personal target. All business development executives, globally, and the weekly sales cadence: targets, pipeline reviews, deal reviews, forecast. Fast go/no-go and deal strategy on proposals. Turning offering leads' propositions into repeatable sales plays.
The role will not own: Offering strategy and pricing. Marketing & brand, PR/comms and content. New market entry decisions. Delivery and deployment.
Success criteria
Personal quota delivered alongside team leadership. One global weekly cadence, running every week and owned end to end. Pipeline coverage ≥3x quarterly target. Proposal cycle from first meeting to submitted proposal shortened measurably. New-logo revenue growth in line with company plan.
