Purpose of the role
The Sales Head owns Netport's revenue and gross-margin plan and the team that delivers it: six regional sales managers across India, the server and inside-sales lines, pre-sales, and three country managers in Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. You will hire and build most of that team in your first year, set territories and quotas, run the forecast, and personally sponsor the largest accounts and principal relationships.
Netport's revenue today is largely repeat business held by a small number of people. This role exists to build a sales machine that does not depend on the founders with process, CRM discipline, a partner channel and a pipeline of new business that can carry the group's growth targets. It suits a sales leader who has done this before at a distributor or a technical-hardware brand and wants to build rather than inherit.
