Head of Business Development & Sales

Regional Business Development & Sales Leader Volunteer About the Company

SkilledUp Life is a two-sided marketplace, which solves two major global problems:

• Less than 1% of tech startups secure investment. Without capital, it's impossible to build a team to bring your idea to market.
• Without experience and demonstrable skills, it's hard to land your dream job.

SkilledUp Life has grown to 54,500 SkilledUp Life volunteers from 142 countries. We have helped hundreds of tech startups to find the talent they need. We have helped many Volunteers to land their next gig including career transition.

We are recruiting Regional Sales Leaders to build remote sales teams across the world and close sales faster. You need to have sales experience including a deep understanding of:

• B2B Sales Process for low-priced high-volume sales.
• Experienced in social selling especially using LinkedIn.
• Recruiting and managing a regional sales team.

Our Needs

• Excellent persuasion skills.
• Experienced in the sales lifecycle (must).

• Further understanding of the sales process.
