Role Description

This is a high‑impact leadership role where you will own revenue outcomes, shape go‑to‑market strategy, and build a high‑performing team that sets the benchmark for B2B sales within the corporate services industry.

Your Mission

• Drive Sleek Australia's revenue growth by building a high‑performing sales organisation, converting market opportunities into sustainable commercial outcomes, and establishing Sleek as the go‑to partner for Australian businesses.

Outcomes

• Accelerate revenue growth through improved conversion rates and average deal values across the sales team.
• Build a consistently high‑performing team where every account executive meets or exceeds their monthly targets.
• Establish scalable sales processes, playbooks, and coaching frameworks that reduce dependency on individual heroics.
• Deliver accurate forecasting and pipeline visibility to the leadership team.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership & Go‑to‑Market: Own the Australia sales strategy and revenue targets, reporting directly to the Global VP of Sales & Customer Success. Contribute to pricing, packaging, and go‑to‑market decisions as a key member of the Australia leadership team. Identify market opportunities, competitive dynamics, and expansion levers across verticals, segments, and channels. Partner closely with Marketing to drive lead quality, optimise demand generation strategy, and improve campaign effectiveness.
• Team Building & Performance: Recruit, develop, and retain a high‑performing team of Account Executives & SDRs. Coach the team on consultative selling, objection handling, and value articulation – not just pitch enforcement. Create a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing. Own the sales commission framework; ensure it drives the right behaviours and is administered fairly and on time.
• Revenue Operations & Execution: Maintain strong pipeline discipline in HubSpot; partner with the CRM team to automate low‑value tasks and leverage AI‑driven tools where they add value. Own weekly and monthly reporting, forecasting accuracy, and overall pipeline health, with support from Data and CRM teams. Personally close high‑value or strategic deals as needed (10‑15% of time), setting the standard for the team. Drive continuous improvement in lead management, sales processes, and handover quality. Most of your selling experience will have been in B2B or SaaS and/or services similar to what Sleek offers in Australia.

Role Requirements

• 8+ years in B2B / SaaS sales, with at least 3‑5 years leading and scaling sales teams.
• Exposure to AI‑driven sales tools and modern sales tech stacks is a nice to have.
• Demonstrated success building or transforming inbound‑led sales functions; hybrid (inbound + outbound) experience is a plus.
• Strong track record of consistently hitting and exceeding revenue targets in the Australian market.
• Experience with HubSpot or comparable CRM platforms at scale.
• Strong commercial acumen – you understand unit economics, Lifetime Value:Customer Acquisition Cost (LTV:CAC), and the drivers of sustainable growth.
