SVP Global Revenue
Job Summary:
You will be responsible for leading and managing our worldwide sales organization, driving revenue growth and expanding our market presence across all regions. This role requires a strategic and seasoned sales leader with extensive enterprise technology sales experience, capable of steering the global sales organization towards substantial growth and market leadership. The SVP of Global Revenue will focus on high-level strategy, global market positioning, and fostering key executive relationships worldwide, ensuring alignment with the company’s long-term goals.
The ideal candidate runs towards, not away from, transformation and rebuilding, including both the org/team and sales strategy. Seasoned change management expertise is a must.
Exceptional Leadership:
As a leader in the company, you’ll serve as a role model for the rest of Andela. Think about the feedback your peers typically give you – if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you.
Low ego, low drama, servant leader: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.
One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone.
Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
Player-coach: You fly high (create strategy) AND low (know the details that matter). You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this without micromanaging, empowering your team while actively engaging in important details.
Business problem solver. You’re not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.
