Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

The Role

We are looking for a high performing Sales Director with deep experience selling into European governments, NATO, allied defense organizations, and the broader European defense and technology ecosystem. 5 to 10 years of SaaS sales experience, with additional experience across the enterprise networking ecosystem strongly preferred.

Candidates with direct operational defense experience, including experience supporting deployed forces, contested environments, or live battlefield operations, are highly desirable. A strong understanding of the Eastern European defense technology landscape, particularly Drone and UAS OEMs, autonomous systems, defense primes, and the emerging ecosystem supporting modern battlefield connectivity, will be a significant advantage.

This is a mid-career to senior role and the ideal candidate will have a history of new customer/logo acquisition, achieving sales quota, and enjoying the challenges that come with outbound prospecting in a competitive market.

While this is a remote role located in Western Europe. We encourage you to apply for this position if you feel you are a match, regardless of location.
