Sales Lead – US Market

We are looking for a Sales Lead to join our team to take ownership of driving new business in the US. This is a high-ownership role for a true seller, someone who thrives in outbound sales, builds strong relationships, and delivers results in a start-up environment. If you want to be a force for good through your work and make a tangible societal impact – this role is for you.

You’ll be responsible for owning the entire sales cycle; from cold outreach, deal closing, and onboarding. As an Early Stage Sales Lead at Project 529, you’ll have plenty of growth opportunities as we scale – both in the US and globally. This is an exciting role where you’ll play a part in shaping Project 529’s presence in an important market.

What you will do

Manage the full sales cycle for inbound and outbound sales; prospecting, closing, onboarding, and ensuring a smooth client transition to the Account Manager.
Drive outbound sales: perform prospecting via email, phone, and in-person visits, especially within the first 3 months.
Own the Hubspot sales pipeline and deal performance tracking.
Lead RFP submissions and close contracts.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Sales Operations, Account Management, Marketing and Product Development, to align offerings with market needs.
Prepare and present sales forecasts, reports, and presentations to senior management.
Identify and grow our partner network in the US, including independent bike shops, large retailers, and Government organisations.
Own your region (US) and make a real impact on growth from Day 1.

What you will need

4+ years of experience in SaaS business development or B2B sales, ideally in a fast-paced or startup environment.
Experience selling to government institutions such as Law Enforcement, Universities, and City Councils is preferred, but not essential.
Technical aptitude to quickly understand and confidently communicate and demo Project 529’s software capabilities.
Demonstrated ability to meet and exceed sales quotas and targets.
Experience with in-person client interactions.
High energy and self-motivation – you’re comfortable working independently, managing your time, and pushing through ambiguity.
Passion for making a societal impact.
Must be able to travel for work and meetings as required.
Being a cyclist is desirable, but not essential.
