About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role:

Notion is transitioning from ‘start-up’ to ‘scale-up’. The APAC region currently accounts for a significant portion of our user base and global revenue. We are looking for an exceptional Sales leader to help scale us to the next level. Given the strong subscription and license based revenue model, building out our sales program is a vital part of our long term growth strategy.

As an early team member in our new office, you'll play a pivotal role in determining our Go-To-Market strategy, influencing our future product, and driving business revenue, all while enjoying the process! Based in our Sydney office, this role involves building and managing sales for ANZ, SEA, and India. The individual will be responsible for acquiring and expanding our customer base through Sales Development Representative, Account Executive, Account Manager, and Customer Success roles. The position additionally requires active participation in local user communities and the startup ecosystem, and engagement in media speaking events.

What You'll Achieve:

• As the Head of Sales for ANZ, SEA, and India, you will create a strategy to generate new revenue in the mid-market/enterprise segment for Notion's business products.

• As an early member of our sales organization, you will help grow the foundations of Sales at Notion by defining our inbound and outbound sales motions.
• You will interact with the local user community and startup ecosystem to communicate our product and gather feedback.
• You will evangelize Notion's mission and innovation through engaging media interviews.
• Join a fantastic team at a magical time: We've achieved profitability and reached over three million users with a small team, providing a huge opportunity for growth. You'll join at the perfect time to shape our growth strategy.
• Meaningfully shape our future product: Your engagement with customers will provide insights to help us serve them better and inform our product development.
• Elevate your skills as we tackle our most impactful challenges: We've achieved more than teams 10 times our size in less time. There's so much more to do and learn.

• You are inspired by our mission of making software tooling ubiquitous
• You have 10+ years experience as a direct sales leader/manager & regional sales leader
• You have experience leading inbound and outbound motions across all segments
• Strong track record of achieving sales targets across teams and individually
