The ANZ sales team is the engine behind our recent growth!

Demand is real and the team are winning.

A bit about our ANZ Head of Sales role.

We are hiring a Head of Sales to take something that already works and make it repeatable, forecastable and ready for the next stage - bigger deals, complex buyers and operating discipline that supports a business scaling fast.

Lead a winning team, and keep it that way.

Manage six Account Executives directly and the SDR function through an SDR Team Lead. Set the standard for how the team sells, coaches and operates day to day.

Protect the culture of a high performing team while raising the bar on consistency. Your job is to make strong performers better, not to rebuild.

Own quota setting, territory design, performance management and career development across both the AE and SDR groups.

Hire and onboard as the team grows, and be the manager people join First AML to work for.

Success is....

The ANZ team hits or exceeds its annual target and every rep has a clear plan and coach behind them.

Make forecasting a strength.

Own the ANZ number. Run the weekly pipeline cadence and the monthly commit process, and deliver a forecast the executive team and board can rely on.

Bring rigour to pipeline hygiene, stage definitions, close-date discipline and Salesforce accuracy. If it is not in the CRM, it does not exist.

Work with the Head of Revenue Operations to build the reporting, dashboards and forecast methodology the business needs at its next stage of scale.

Success is....

Monthly commit lands within a tight tolerance of actuals, consistently.

Move the business upmarket.





Shift deal mix toward larger firms and higher ACV without losing the velocity that made the team successful.

Partner with Marketing, Product and Customer Success to sharpen positioning for enterprise buyers and to turn wins into repeatable plays.

Feed structured market and competitor intelligence back into product and pricing decisions.

Success is....

Measurable lift in average ACV and win rate in the mid-market and enterprise segments.

Build the structure for the next stage.

Co-design and implement new sales structures with the Head of Revenue Operations: segmentation, territory models, compensation plan changes, enablement programmes and the tooling that supports them.

Sit on the revenue leadership team and contribute to commercial strategy across ANZ.

Success is

Segmentation, territories, comp plans and reporting are documented, adopted and stable. Strong AEs and SDRs stay, grow and refer people they want to work with.
