Our client is seeking a high-calibre enterprise sales professional to drive accelerated growth across East Coast of the United States,, across all industry segments.

This is a frontline, individual contributor role designed for a proven enterprise deal closer ($5M - $20M+ ACV) and the ability to structure multi-year, multi-geo BPO deals. You will be responsible for originating, structuring, and closing large, complex deals, building a high-value pipeline from day one, and establishing our client as a credible enterprise partner in the region. This role is about execution, speed, and results - not management.

The role requires a strong bias for execution, speed, and ownership. It is not a management position, but rather a revenue-generating role focused on delivering tangible business outcomes and establishing a credible enterprise presence in the region.

  • Closing multi-year deals ranging from $5M–$20M ACV
  • Securing anchor enterprise clients across Kenya
  • Establishing a strong regional presence and market credibility

What This Role Is Not
