Founding Sales Director, United States

About the role

Build the U.S. business from day one. We're not looking for someone to manage an existing sales organization. We're looking for someone to build one. Rogue Cortex has proven technology, early customers, and global momentum. Now we're looking for the person who will establish our presence in the United States. If you're excited about building something from zero, we'd love to talk.

Responsibilities

• Build the first enterprise pipeline in the United States
• Develop relationships with customers, partners, and strategic prospects
• Close the company's first U.S. customers
• Help define our ICP, messaging, and sales playbook
• Provide continuous feedback to Product and Engineering
• Represent Rogue Cortex at customer meetings and industry events
• Help build the future U.S. sales organization

This isn't just a sales role. It's a company-building role.

Requirements

We're looking for someone who enjoys creating more than managing. Someone who thrives in ambiguity. Someone who can sell products that don't yet have a Gartner category.

Ideally you have:

• 7+ years selling enterprise software
• Experience selling complex technical solutions
• A track record of winning large enterprise customers
• Experience working directly with founders or at early-stage startups
• Excellent communication and executive presence
• The ability to simplify complex technology

Experience in robotics, drones, industrial automation, infrastructure, or AI is valuable — but curiosity and the ability to learn quickly matters more.

Who will enjoy this role

• You'd rather build a playbook than follow one
• You enjoy opening new markets
• You love talking to customers
• You aren't afraid of hearing "no"
• You want meaningful ownership
• You like working directly with founders
• You enjoy helping shape both product and go-to-market

If you want to help define an entirely new market — not just sell into an existing one.

Success after 12 months

Success won't be measured by activity. It will be measured by impact. Within your first year, you'll have:

• Established Rogue Cortex's U.S. presence
• Closed our first enterprise customers
• Built a predictable enterprise pipeline
• Helped define our repeatable sales motion
• Become a key member of the leadership team
