We have an exciting opportunity for a full-time Vice President, North America to join our team in our stunning downtown Vancouver, BC headquarters. 

We’re looking for an experienced, energetic leader to spearhead our expansion and growth across Canada and the USA. Your role is pivotal in executing our strategic direction, increasing revenue and profitability, and enhancing the overall performance of our North American division. You will lead the Vancouver team, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation, and will be instrumental in building and maintaining strong client relationships.

You’ll report through to our Global CEO, based in Brisbane, Australia.

Some of your key accountabilities will be:

• Strategic Business Growth:
  • Implement sales and marketing strategies for profitable growth
  • Conduct sales calls and software demos with prospects, provide real-time coaching, and elevate performance of sales team
  • Oversee expansion into the U.S. market, ensuring alignment with global objectives
• Global Executive Collaboration:
  • Foster a collaborative environment with executive leaders in Australia and globally
  • Champion the talents of both the Vancouver and Brisbane offices
• Leadership and Culture:
  • Maintain and foster a culture of high performance, trust, and collaboration
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of approximately 40 Scouties in Vancouver, directly managing 6 senior leaders
• Client Relationship Management:
  • Cultivate strong relationships to secure new business and grow existing accounts
  • Personally engage with our top 20 accounts in North America
• Financial Oversight:
  • Collaborate with our Finance team to oversee financial aspects, including forecasts and P&Ls
  • Ensure financial targets and performance metrics are met
• Operational Excellence:
  • Ensure adherence to our proven Global "One Best Way" systems
  • Maintain operational efficiency and effectiveness

The successful candidate will have 5+ years of experience in a similar role, with a proven track record in growing the revenue and profitability of a business of a similar size/scale.

We’re looking for someone with strong sales and marketing experience who can guide the North American arm of our business toward achieving our ambitious growth and profitability goals. 

Given the level of prior experience we’re looking for, we expect the successful candidate will have experience in recruiting people for the previous businesses they worked for. We want you to draw upon that experience to relate to our clients and their challenges/needs. We value “hands-on” leaders who are keen to be deeply involved in the business - for example, joining sales meetings with potential clients. 

Experience in SaaS will be well regarded, but is not essential. Experience selling to companies in the USA will also be highly regarded.

Please have a read through our Company Values and see if they align with yours.

As a valued member of Scout Talent Group’s Executive Team, your remuneration package will be a base salary + performance-based incentives + employee share options, with total on-target earnings of $150k-$200k in the first year, with significant growth potential in subsequent years.
