APAC Sales Leader
Department: Revenue
Reports To: VP Revenue
Location: Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia (Remote)
Role Purpose
The APAC Sales Manager is responsible for leading and accelerating Veremark’s growth across the Asia-Pacific region. This is a high-impact leadership role with responsibility for regional revenue performance, team development and execution of Veremark’s APAC go-to-market strategy.
You will inherit a strong market opportunity and a growing sales team, currently consisting of four Account Executives supported by regional SDR resources, with further expansion planned as the business continues to scale across APAC.
Success in this role will come from more than pipeline management and forecasting. We are looking for a leader who can inspire, energise and develop a high-performing team across multiple countries, cultures and time zones. As a remote-first organisation, the ability to create alignment, momentum, accountability and belief within a distributed team is critical.
You will be responsible for creating an environment where people can perform at their best, grow professionally and consistently exceed expectations. You will champion a culture of ambition, collaboration, continuous learning and customer focus while ensuring the team remains aligned to Veremark’s strategic objectives.
This is a true player-coach role. While your primary responsibility is leading and developing the team, we expect you to personally own a small number of strategic opportunities and actively participate in key deals across the region. This is not a full-time individual contributor role, but maintaining direct customer engagement helps ensure credibility with the team, keeps sales skills sharp and provides valuable support on larger, more complex opportunities.
Beyond team leadership, you will serve as the voice of the APAC market within Veremark. You will identify growth opportunities, highlight resource requirements, provide market insight and help shape the regional strategy required to achieve ambitious growth targets.
